    natural ways to assist implantation

    Hello,

    I'm new to belly belly and hoping I'm posting in the right spot...

    It's been a full on 2009 for me with a full on year of fertility treatment (see my ticker for why). I'm on my fifth cycle now, hoping for our fourth embryo transfer by 29 Dec. A belated Christmas pressie would be awesome!

    Been doing acupuncture since Jan 09, 3 wks before our first cycle. Now also looking into other extra natural ways to assist implantation now like eating brazil nuts, drinking pineapple juice, and taking baby aspirin and in the process of my Google addiction in finding correlating answers I'm getting a bit confused as to when to start what and it's doing my head in a little, ha ha!

    I'm wondering what people's thoughts are on the below natural ways to assist implantation? -

    I've read pineapple juice is to be taken from day of FET for 5 days, not from concentrate. But apart from slicing a pineapple into 5 sections are there any bottles of juice in WA you could buy instead?

    Can you start eating the supposed 5 brazil nuts per day before FET of only at FET for 5 days? Is taking them earlier bad for acidity levels of lining of its ok?

    Can I start taking baby aspirin now or do I need to wait until closer to the FET? I'm on day 13 of my cycle, no O as on a HRT FET cycle...

    What are peoples thoughts...?

    No no, I *think this is the right spot, but I've flagged it for the LTAC mods and they will move it if need be.

    In regards to the pineapple, my FS said you need to eat the core (the not so sweet centre) of the pineapple - it has some enzyme in it to assist implantation (supposedly). So I don't know if juice will cut it.

    Hello,
    Not sure that I can be much help, but I was told to go on aspirin (as well as prescribed heparin) before my FET. I was on 100mg per day (not sure what strenght baby asparin is) and started about a week before transfer and continued all the way through the pg. I should also say that I was prescribed both aspirin and heparin due to a diagnosed condition that prevents implantation.

    Good luck and really hope you get a wonderful belated xmas pg!
