Pineapple, Grapejuice and Walnut...

Post by babydreamz »

Hello Ladies,

My long wait is finally over and FET is scheduled for Friday, just two more sleeps away :D

After 3 unsucessful attemps I am willing to try anything and want t know more about Pineapple, Grapejuice and walnut.

Do they really help in conceiving?

What is the best days to eat them?On day of transfer? Quantity? How many days? Anything else I can do to increase my chances to conceive..?

Thanks in advance for your advice!You guys Rock! 8)

Never been studied, but if they really did something to help with pregnancy, I think the doctors and the drug companies would be all over it.
Avoid IVF and surrogacy in Ukraine. Ukrainian centers pay shills to post here under numerous sock accounts pretending to be patients in Ukraine. Centers using such deceptive advertising cannot be trusted and should be avoided.

Don't know how much it helps, but I hear yogurt and ice-cream is good to eat as well. Drink plenty of fluids too...

I've read all three may have some impact . . . the pineapple core is supposed to help with implantation, as well as walnuts and grape juice . . . my acupuncturist recommends staying away from cold, wet foods (like dairy/ice cream). . . the thought is you want to keep your uterus warm . . . lots of soups . . . again, no scientific studies, but I figured it couldn't hurt =)

After my last FET, my doctor told me to reduce carb intake, stay away from trash foods, and No Juice! No Juice? Seriously? I have never heard that before... I am assuming because of the sugar. Has anyone else heard this?

During the 2WW I drank nothing but, water. It was so boring & I still got BFN :roll:

rubine-- My RE told me to reduce carbs as well, didn't tell me anything about Juice but I know fruit juice has a lot of sugar so that's probably why. It's almost impossible to avoid carbs and sugar! LOL

Thank you for your advice! I really appreciate it.

If someone tells me stand on your head of an 2 and half hours three times a day and it will improve my chances by 5.8% for getting pregnant, I will do it :lol:

Butterflies in my tummy, FET is tomorrow morning!

Margi, my dear friend, thank you for volunteering to stand on yr head :lol: btw I went to Carrie for acupuncture after ET, I was so loopy because of valium, that I dont even remember most of our conversation. I though I was there for just few minutes but hubby confirmed that we were there for good 50 minutes :) Thanks again for recommending her.

We transferred 3 embies yesterday, one look really good and the other two were "fair".

This was FET blastocyst, so how soon can I poas? I bought my stock looong time ago, and dying to see two dark lines already :lol:
