Hi! Just looking for some advice.

We transferred today and are now in the 2WW.

Just courious, are there any foods that are especially good to eat during this time to help with implantation? On the contrary, are there any foods that we should avoid?

I've already tried this IVF twice now so I figured it couldn't hurt to ask for tips.

Thanks Ladies!!!

It is best to eat warm foods, hearty foods such as soups, stews, cooked veggies (dark colors). You should avoid cold foods such as ice cream, cold drinks, raw veggies.

The core of a pineapple contains Bromelain which is said to aid in implantation. Eat 4-5 chunks a day during the time implantation would occur. I've never tried it but read a lot about it. going for our first IUI this week and already bought me a pineapple. LOL for a !!!

GOOD LUCK!!!!!

We did pineapple and grape juice (it's also supposed to aid with implantation) with our IVF. What I heard was that the enzyme that helps with implantation is in the core, so we bought a pineapple, cut it into fifths, and used each fifth in a smoothie each day for 5 days after ET (we mixed it with vanilla ice cream and orange juice). I also drank a big glass of grape juice each day. Now I will say that posts I've read since then have said that both pineapple and grape juice may decrease success rates, so I figured I'd better pass that along as well. It seems to me all things in moderation. And of course, minimize caffeine, no alcohol, smoking, or drugs, etc. Good luck!
