Pineapple in IVF/ART - FIO

I know some ladies wonder ..... WHY PINEAPPLE AND HOW MUCH????

"Using Pineapple to Assist Implantation: Pineapple contains bromelain. Bromelain is a proteolytic enzyme that breaks up proteins that inhibit embryo implantation. Consuming a whole pineapple (focusing on the core as it has the highest concentration of Bromelain) during a fertility cycle can be beneficial. For IVF cycle: consume equal amounts over five days, beginning on the day of your embryo transfer."

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.

Great information as usual. I had heard about the benefits of pineapple, but did not know specifics about when to consume it. I missed out on my transfer date but had a little in the subsequent days. Still awaiting the outcome.

I tried pineapple twice and it didn't work. But it tasted good.
