| yea, I have heard that pineapple helps . . . something about the chemical in it. I ate it before, during and after the 2ww . . . got a BFP and a lovely course of acid pimples to go with it. |

| Acupuncturist told me to eat this after transfer too. Didn't work with 2 IVF's. But, if you like pineapple, why not try? |

| Definitely eat pineapple, including the core. I got a BFP after my IVF. |

Pineapple contains bromelain, which is an anti-inflammatory enzyme that is rumored to aid implantation.
I've heard you should eat fresh pineapple to get the benefit of bromelain. (not sure if canning or otherwise preserving destroys the enzyme) On the other hand, I found this about pineapple juice: http://www.babysnark.com/ttc-supplements/ttc-supplements.asp So, not sure what to believe . . . . |

| I ate pineapple after my transfer and now I'm 7weeks! When I asked my nurse about it, she said she had never heard of it but it wouldn't hurt. So, who knows if it helped, but at least I felt I was doing whatever I could....and it worked! |

LMAO! If only pineapple worked I'd be pregnant 10 times over by now.
Okay, maybe 3 times. |

Well then you're forgiven.
Hope the ER went well! |

| It is not the pineapple, but the core. It contains brom (something) which helps with blood flow, thus, implantation. Has to be fresh. |
