What to eat......

I know that there are a lot of things to take into consideration while trying to get pregnant and I think your diet is the main one. I would love to hear from you ladies about what you are eating or adding to your daily routine gearing up for baby. I was obviously told to quit the caffeine and artificial sweetners (I am having SUCH a hard time with the diet sodas - is real sugar bad?), eat a pinapple core after IUI (how much and when?), have dairy before you ovulate (does that really matter with an IUI?), etc., etc., etc. Please let me know what you are doing and especially from the ones that got the BFP's!!

I changed my diet to fit my diagnosis from the acupuncturist. What I ate was specific to the deficiencies I had. I cut out caffeine all together and now just drink herbal tea. After you get rid of the headaches, it really wasn't a big deal and I have just as much energy. I never would have thought that! I did eat the core of a pineapple after the iui. Charlotte told me that you are only supposed to eat the core. You take the core and cut it into 5 pieces. You eat one piece each day for the 5 days after the iui. Do not eat more than that. Too much pineapple can have the opposite affect. Does it work, I don't know but I did get my BFP this month! I also just found out that someone else I know ate the pineapple core and it worked for her too. It is a tend tough and full of fiber but still tastes like pineapple, just chewier. I let my family have the rest of the pineapple. I took it along with my vitamin at night.
Real sugar is not bad for you, like everything else just in moderation.
Good Luck to you, sending lots of baby dust your way!

I don't mean to sound harsh, but it's just my opinion. Good luck and wishing you all the very best!
