My wife ate fresh pineapple for five days after her successful FET. She is pregnant, although there is no way to say whether the pineapple worked. Figured it couldn't hurt so why not?!

Also, I have pretty extensive surgery 2 years ago and it was suggested by my surgeon to drink pineapple juice as it helps with healing. I think the thing with pineapple is there is an enzyme in it called Bromaline (or something like that) and also Vit. C. Both are supposed to help with healing and immunity. Most of the bromaline in canned fruit is destroyed during the canning procedure because of the high heat....so fresh pineapple or pineapple juice is best.

But, we were willing to try anything and everything. So we tried accupuncture regularly for a few months; a regular diet that balanced (almost completely equal) protein and carbs at every meal and was based on lots of vegetables and whole grains; pineapple core; lots of dates; and just being with one another and building our relationship. Whether it was one of those things or a combination of all of those, we were successful and we are expecting our first child within days.

Good luck.
