TTC: pineapple core

[Shoegal30]

I am TTC #1 and have heard some positive reviews of eating pineapple core 1DPO-5DPO to help implantation.

I got a peak on my CBFM and wanted advice when I should eat the core. Would today be 1DPO?

Also is there a particular time of the day I should eat it? I have read somewhere that first thing in the morning will work for digestion as opposed to implantation.

Any advice would be appreciated. Thanks x

Hi Shoegal,

I've never heard of this before. Where did you read it? If you send me a link I'll also try and make sense of it...

Hi fliss here is a blog conceivewithpineapple.blogspot.co.uk/2011/01/pineapple-as-aid-to-implantation.html?m=1

Also I know some people have talked about this on the forums including dontcallmedaughter who got a BFP very recently.

That is SO interesting! Thanks for sharing the links. It seems to me that it doesn't have to be an exact science or do you think it does? Maybe you could have it today and then have it for the next few days as well? I got a smiley face on my clear blue digital on Thursday so I'm guessing I'm now 1-3 days post ovulation but I think I might still head out to get myself a pineapple just in case. Everything is worth trying hey?!

Yeah definitely worth a bash and I've just had my first slice tonight.

Also I have just read about using a warm hot water bottle on abdomen for 40 minutes post ovulation too. This refers to acupuncture where a lot of women who are having problems TTC are told they have a cold womb.

Am giving this a bash now too. Fingers crossed!

That's v interesting too about having a cold womb. I actually have my first accupuncture session tomorrow so I'm interested to hear what she has to say.

Have you read about the benefits of co enzyme q10? That's another thing that's worth trying I reckon. I've been taking them for a couple of months now because I read/heard such good things about it.

How long have you been ttc?

I am on month 13 of trying.

Am trying to be more proactive this month as both me and husband have had initial tests which thankfully have come back clear.

I have just started Accupuncture too and I have had 2 sessions over the last couple of weeks. the lady also told me I had a cold womb.

How long have you been trying for?

Great that your tests came back showing no problems for either of you. That means its just a matter of time now.

This is month 2 of trying for me but that's following a mc in July...

I've got acupuncture this evening so that'll be good. I've also used a digital ovulation predictor for the first time this month and pre-seed. I figure everything is worth trying!

Cold womb as in actually a lower temperature than the surrounding tissue? Or is it your body temperature overall that's too low?

Good question akachan. Shoegal prob knows the answer. I'll also ask at my acupuncture session tonight and then report back.

I have been using cbfm and conceive plus for 8 months or so. I think you're right, hopefully it's going to happen soon.

I'm not sure about the details re cold womb as she never took my temperature. She looked at my tongue and felt my pulse then made the diagnosis. She also explained that a lot of people who have unexplained infertility suffer from a 'cold womb' according to Accupuncture. On both sessions she put a heater over my abdomen.

I'm sure it will happen soon Shoegal. I also read Marisa Peers' hypnotherapy book this month 'trying to get pregnant (and succeeding)'. I found it good apart from her views on mc - she thinks they can happen because foetus gets the message it isn't wanted. For me that's ridiculous. I couldn't have wanted the baby I lost anymore than I did :-(.

Anyway, I'll report back on acupuncture and ask about womb temperature!

Sorry to hear about your MC fliss. I think its a bit irresponsible of Marrisa to say that about MC.

Looks like you are trying everything and hopefully you will get your BFP very soon.

Let me know how you get on with Accupuncture today. My lady hadn't heard about pineapple core but maybe your therapist will have a view on it.

Good luck x

Hi ladies! Can I pop on! On cycle 5 ttc and have just been informed re the pineapple core ;) I will be 1dpo tomorrow so thought I'd give it a go! Very intrigued to see if it works! :)

Are you all trying the pineapple??? Any bfp's on it yet??

Good luck for your bfp ladies! I wish you all the best :)

Hi and welcome mama.

I am on my second my slice of pineapple tonight and hot water bottle.

I have heard good things so hopefully it will work for us all.

Fingers crossed

I will be checking in on everyone to see the success rates :)

Hi, please can I join in too?! I haven't tried pineapple yet but will do next cycle if I don't get a BFP this month.

In terms of acupuncture, I've had about ten sessions now and I love it. It has sorted out my cycles. In terms of having a 'cold womb' I believe that's to do with your overall body temp.

I hope we all get BFPs soon!

Welcome pinkandwhite. Hopefully you won't need to try pineapple core

How did you get on with acupuncture yesterday Fliss?

After you mentioned the Marisa Peers book I did some research into it and its got really good reviews so I ordered it last night. Can't wait to read it, definitely believe in a mind and body connection.

Here's to lots and lots of positive thinking ladies. Think of the BFP on a HPT. It is going to happen to us!

Am just waving hello!

I ate a slice of pineapple in the morning from dpo1-5.

Interestingly, my acupuncturist said I was cold in my abdomen as well, she didn't go as far as to say I had a cold womb. But she did use a heat lamp over the area during my treatment.

Good luck ladies x

Thanks for sharing dontcallmedaughter. Your story on another thread has really inspired me and gave me a much needed boosted after AF came to visit last month.

Hope the pregnancy is going well. Are you still using acupuncture?
