is disgusting! Ugh! I can barely get it down with some seltzer! Its funny too because I really like pomegranates! I'm not sure I'll buy more after this bottle, but then again, if it helps... Anybody else trying this this cycle?
I started this cycle too. It is a bit bitter but my main complaint is its so damn expensive! $5 a bottle (32 oz so only lasts 4 days). If I don't get KTFU this cycle I don't know if I'm gonna drink it next cycle

I've been drinking it and I was the same way at first but I have started to get used to it and enjoy it. I know that POM Wonderful also has blueberry pom juice and it is really much better but it only has 85% pom juice so I'm not sure if its as effective. Hope the taste gets better for you! You could always hold your nose as you drink it, lol

I know, I got mine at a natural food co-op and it was ten dollars for 32oz! Literally the only ingredient is pressed pomegranate seeds.
I drink POM on occasion because I like it, but not as part of a TTC regimen. Honestly, since 1) you don't like it, 2) it's expensive, and 3) there is very little proof that it does anything good for TTC, then I'd ditch it if I were you. If you like pomegranates, then go that route. JMO.

I actually tried the POM wonderful brand from Publix. I liked it as long as it was really cold. If this cycle is a bust, I won't try it again because it is so expensive.
The blueberry pom juice is delicious! I've been drinking both straight pom and the blueberry pom this month. I dilute it with water because it's so tart and just drink twice as much. I also use it to cool down and add a little flavor to my green tea.

I actually posted about a week or so ago. I bought a 32 oz bottle of it for $10 -- organic, all pressed pomegranate seeds. It didn't even have any water added. And it tasted AWFUL, like beet juice. I didn't have anything to mix with it...except champagne, lol. Fortunately, it was a Sunday afternoon. So my pomegranate champagne cocktail wasn't too weird....I guess.
I drank it this cycle. Pom I thought tasted good but I also tried the Langers fresh pressed 100% pomegranate juice and it was not very good! I can usually find Pom coupons in my weekly paper
I started this cycle too. It is a bit bitter but my main complaint is its so damn expensive! $5 a bottle (32 oz so only lasts 4 days). If I don't get KTFU this cycle I don't know if I'm gonna drink it next cycle
I agree!!! I thought it seemed bitter at first too but have somewhat adjusted. But the price is killer! It was on sale at my grocery store last week and I bought like six bottles, my husband thought I was going insane.

That's good to know. I *think* mine was Langer's. Maybe if I have to go on to the next cycle, I will try POM.
I brew some green tea , add honey and then chill the tea. Once it is cooled I add 8oz of pomegranate juice. I actually like it that way but don't like it straight. I have also mixed it with some white wine beforeas well and it made it kind of like a wine cooler.

I did it one cycle. The taste is really strong, but it didn't bother me. I ended up pregnant the cycle I drank it (ended in c/p though). Not sure if it helped or if it wad just coincidence. All I knoe is that stuff is expensive!!!

I make a juice cocktail out of it. I put a little POM, little grapefruit, little orange juice and add sparkling water. I actually really like it like that. More tolerable.
Sept 2013 started TTC#2 (never got PP period so hoping for the first egg to drop)
Jan 2014 - diagnosed POF (Premature Ovarian Failure) and told pregnancy not possible without egg donor because my ovaries would never function again with my hormone levels (FSH 136, LH 98.6, AMH <.03, estradiol 0, HCG 7) - using acupuncture, chiropractic care and TCM herbs / supplements
March 11, 2014 ovulated despite every doctors prognosis!!!
Oct 2014 hormones (FSH 48, Estradiol 89, HCG 1) not good, but heckuva lot better!
Nov. 16, 2015 FET of single adopted 5AA embryo - BFN
I take pomegranate pills......I don't know if their effectiveness is as good as the juice....but certainly more tolerable.

Just because something isn't happening for you right now doesn't mean it will never happen.

IVF #1 - BFP!
I know I'm late to the discussion but I just wanted to share my Pom experience. The first two times I drank it (alone, not mixed with anything), I violently threw up after about 30 minutes. This happened twice. I didn't mind the taste at all, but my body rejected it. Not sure why but when I googled it, I saw that others also got sick from it too.
I've tried to mix it with other things and I can at least keep it down. It never fails to give me horrible heartburn though. So, I'm just sticking with water these days!

I was clueless at first, too. You'll figure it all out!
