Hey guys...

Awhile back there was a thread going about pineapple and implantation. I can't find it but can you guys help me out...does eating pineapple help with implant???

What other tricks do I need to know about??? I REALLY want this to work first go round...

I don't know who or why but I bought two a few days ago and aye a bunch yesterday, today & will all week!! My FET was today so I'll do anything to help! :)

I ate pineapple with a cycle that didn't work, and one that did. With the positive cycle I also:
Stopped eating spicy food (eastern medicine says this helps)
Ate a handful of nuts each day
Ate a little honey every day

These are also supposed to help.

Hugs and baby dust!

Ps with pineapple you are supposed to cut it into 5 servings and eat 1 serving a day. Don't over do it because the acidity can have the opposite effect if not careful.

Good to know, I have FET in January, storing up any info I can!!

I ate pinapple with all my bfp's. Don't know if it really helped because I ended up mcing but I still did it with my last IFV. My IF issues are lining related so implantation can be a problem. Every little bit helps.

I'm not a huge pineapple fan but was willing to try anything. We cut the pineapple into 5 segments and I blended it into a smoothie with vanilla ice cream. It didn't help for me but I've heard alot of women say they had success.

I did the pineapple after my IVF. I ate a cup a day for 5 days. I got a bfp. Not sure if that helped but it's worth a try. You have to use fresh pineapple and they say to also eat the core.

technically pineapple core is supposed to be the helpful factor, but i don't like the texture. I ate pineapple with my bfp, but i also ate it with my bfns so i don't know if it helped or not. I also ate half a strawberry cheesecake...

Haha I think I am going to go with the strawberry cheesecake theory!!! :)

Nellysgirl 12/03/2013

hehe @ Orriginal I totally vote for the strawberry cheesecake. Hey, it can't HURT anything, right?

MMMM.... strawberry cheesecake... you officially made me hungry :)

My acupuncturist recommended 4 brazil nuts a day. I have been doing that getting ready for my FET tomorrow but who knows...I have heard that pineapple core is supposed to be good too, not sure about the strawberry cheesecake but willing to give anything a go! Ha ha

I think I will try pineapple and strawberry cheesecake, just to be on the safe side!
No really, thanks for the pineapple idea. I've never heard of that. Think I will pick up one tomorrow.

leciag 12/03/2013

Thanks ladies!! I'm definitely going to go get a pineapple...and maybe a strawberry cheesecake too!!

Leafy greens such as spinach and walnuts are rumored to be good for implantation as well!
