Pineapple Thing
Sounds crazy but it doesn't hurt to ask...Have any of you ladies tried eating pineapple prior to and after your transfer and got a bfp at Beta??

Re: Pineapple Thing
I believe it's the pineapple core that helps the most. I juiced the entire core and part of the pineapple with my second transfer and got a BFP (resulting in my DS  ). The bromelain that's found in the core is what is supposed to aid in implantation.

Re: Pineapple Thing
I tried eating pineapple..I know it's an old wive's tale but I figured it couldn't hurt, right? But I got a BFN. It was due to sperm issues...and not the pineapple, though.

Re: Pineapple Thing
I was told specifically to avoid the core.....
I loaded up on pineapple for my last transfer and got pregnant. However, in all my other pregnancies I did not do this and still got pregnant.

I did neither!  I got pre-sliced fresh pineapple chunks.
Some people say the core is most impt - but I was told to avoid it ... so I went with the chunks.

Re: Pineapple Thing
I ate canned pineapple I started the day of my transfer (FET) and ate it for the next week. It was the only time I got a BFP in five years of trying to concieve. and the only time I ate the pineapple!  is now 12 weeks, it can't hurt to try. Good luck

Re: Pineapple Thing
hmmm love Pina Coladas! Coconut and pineapple, Yumm.
As far as the pineapple thing, I did it. Right before transfer. I ate the whole freakin' pineapple, flesh, core, everything. I think they say the core is most important. I wouldn't say that this is the key to a bfp but it's worth a shot! Then again, I've tried it all. I think my Chinese Med doc would probably say that pineapple is a cooling food so I'm sure it's not right for everyone.

Re: Pineapple Thing
The core is the center of a pineapple and is usually paler in color. Please don't try to ingest the exterior of a pineapple!
I often eat the core anyway, so it seems natural to me. According to everything I've read, it does need to be fresh, not canned, pineapple in order for us to receive any possible benefit. As an aside, don't overdo on pineapple. Supposedly, too much can actually negatively affect a pregnancy (early contractions, miscarriage).
Walnuts and yams (not sweet potatoes) are also believed to aid in fertility. We may as well add those to the mix.
