Hello! I'm just curious as to what some of you do around ovulation and to help increase the chance of a successful implantation. Maybe you've tried it already or heard of other women trying it. Pineapple core, pomegranate juice, etc. Maybe it's weird or the doctor told you it works. Did it work for you? Whatever it maybe I want to hear it. I hope my question made sense. lol!
What do you do around ovulation to increase your chances and to help with implantation?

I tried the pineapple core. Im sure it could have just been a coincidence but I did get a BFP that cycle! I might have done the pineapple core for two cycles, I can't remember now..
-
@Anya: I've eaten pineapple before, but this might sound like a stupid question. Isn't the core hard? Do you just chew it? I just finished my last Provera pill and will be starting Femara on cd 3 so I wanted to help my uterus out a little bit. lol!
I could use all the help I can get!

It's more tough than the flesh and not as sweet but i didn't think it was too bad. You just have to chew for a while.
-
@Anya: okay. Thanks!
-
@ChasingARainbow: I did the pineapple core 5 days post IUI. Who knows if it worked.....but I got pregnant!
-
I've tried pineapple core several cycles. I uses to cut it up, but I've also put it into a smoothie. I like the smoothies the best. I've heard drinking whole fat dairy products are good, I might try that this cycle. I also might try pomegranate juice this cycle. I already have some in the fridge and I can add it to my pineapple smoothie. So far I have not had a successful pregnancy, but I still try.
-
@ChasingARainbow: I tried it too, for quite a few months, but it unfortunately didn't help. I hope it works for you!
I heard taking baby aspirin also helps.
-
@wrkbrk: I really think I'll have to try it out then. So when would I eat it? During ovulation or after?
-
@auggiefrog: I really want to try all these things, but I'm not sure when in the cycle I'm supposed to be doing each thing.
-
@ChasingARainbow: Try it! My mom and I actually prefer it to the pineapple pieces because it's less sweet. I think you cut the core into 5 sections and eat one chunk each day past ovulation.
So I had my IUI on 2/26, and I ate my first chunk the day after, then the four days after that. -
@Crystal: I actually have some baby aspirin 81mg. Thanks for reminding me!
-
Acupuncture is what worked for me when I got pregnant with LO!
-
@wrkbrk: I'm making a note of this! My husband is going to think I've lost it when I come home from the store eating pineapple core and downing pomegranate juice! Quick question. I've read about women not eating or drinking anything cold. Do you know why?
-
@lady grey: how many rounds of acupuncture did you have to do to get your bfp?
-
@ChasingARainbow: I hadn't heard that about drinking anything cold but I did hear to keep your feet warm so I wore a lot of socks around the house! I really have no clue why haha.
-
@ChasingARainbow: I do the pineapple core from O+1 to O+5 or O+6. Like wrkbrk mentioned, I slice the pineapple into five or six slices and eat each slice per day after ovulation. This month I made pineapple and pomagranate juice smoothies!
I take baby aspirin my whole cycle, I didn't start this though until after an early MC. I've heard you should drink whole milk or whole dairy products after O. I haven't tried this one, but I bought a half gallon of Vit D milk today.
I've been drinking a lot of warm beverages, and avoiding cold products, but mostly to increase my BBT, but I started with a lower than average BBT. I've heard woman with lower BBT's can have a harder time conceiving/ keeping the fetus.
-
@wrkbrk: I guess I'll add that to the list! lol!
-
@auggiefrog: thank you so much! Very informative and I appreciate it so much! I'm going to have to pull my notebook out and right it all down. Praying to God it all works!
-
@auggiefrog: what is pomegranate juice supposed to do?
-
@Crystal: Pomagranates have lots of anti-oxidants and other nutrients in them that can be beneficial to your potential growing fetus. Not super reliable links but:

@ChasingARainbow: I think I ony went once or twice before getting my bfp. But then kept going once per week for a few months. I saw a super experienced women who was know in the area where we used to live for helping women get bfps!
-
@lady grey: that's cool. I live in Houston and there are tons of acupuncturists around here. I'm going to look one up. Thanks
I could use all the help I can get!
