And for my third post of the morning ....
According to many acupuncturists, pineapple can help with fertility. I haven't found any real scientific evidence of this, but I like pineapple, and at this point will try anything. I was joking at the IUI that if I get pregnant this cycle I'm going to say it was because of the pineapple. Nevermind all of the injections and appointments - it will be because of the pineapple. :)
"Pineapple may help assist embryo implantation because it contains bromelain. This proteolytic enzyme breaks down proteins that can inhibit embryo implantation. For this reason I often recommend you consume a whole, organic pineapple after ovulation or embryo transfer. Don't avoid eating the core as it has the highest concentration of Bromelain.
IUI cycle: Slice up a whole, fresh, organic pineapple into five equal portions. Consume one portion daily for five days, beginning on the day of your IUI.
Note: Be careful not to start consuming pineapple too early in the cycle. Beginning to consume pineapple BEFORE the recommended days above can actually affect your vaginal and cervical mucus pH, making it more acidic. Increased acidity can actually DECREASE your chances of conceiving."
