Green tea, pom juice, pineapple core, musinex... what works and how?

Sugartwink · March 2013

I've heard stories that some of these help when TTC - has anyone tried any of these? How and when are you supposed to use them? AF just showed up today (2 days late... thanks for the tease) so I want to try some new things this month!

TIA, ladies!

From the newbie link:

"Green tea helps to increase the amount of CM that you have. Drink 1-2 cups from CD1-Ovulation. Don?t drink green tea during the 2ww because it could cause uterine contractions which might impact implantation.

Also make sure you are drinking the green tea at least 4 hours removed from taking your prenatal vitamin- it can block the absorption of folic acid.

Pomegranate juice can help to thicken your lining which would help with implantation. If you don?t like the flavor, try adding some sparkling water. Drink 8oz of juice a day from CD1-O. You can drink it past ovulation, but it won?t impact your lining at that point.

Pineapple core (Bromelain) can help with implantation. Eat 1/5 of the core from O - 5dpo, but not longer. Not a ton of people do this, but you can try if you want to. It's better if you make it into a smoothie."

I suggest checking out the newbie link, it's got lots of great info. Good luck!
