FERTILITY / INFERTILITY / IVF COMMUNITY
Pomegranate?

Pomegranate?

Hello All,

This is little weird question. But I still want to know if consuming Pomegranate on regular basis in any way effects one's pregnancy chances. Of late, I have been eating Pomegranate seeds every day. Please suggest, if I shd stay away from those.

thanks,
akapoor

I would be interested in knowing the answer to this.Have you been told by someone abt the relation between pomegranate seeds and fertility?

No. Ijust got curious because, last cycle after my IUI, I had sore nips, and all other symptoms that cld either be associated with PMS or pregnancy.

But this time, I have no symptoms as such(my preg test is on monday). The only diff in my food habits is eating Pomegranate seeds regularly on daily basis. I developed cold and sore throat since last nite. I suddenly started to wonder if it is because of pomegranate. Hence the question.

Ok.Wish you all the very best for your pregnancy test.Lets hope to hear good news from you.
These pms and pregnancy symptoms can be so similar,it gets too frustrating to keep on imagining which way we are moving during the tww.

Hi!My friend who has been married for 10 years delivered twin boys 2 weeks back.She was under Sadhna Desai.I did get to know from her about Dr.Desai but she said its very difficult to get her appointment.I think my friend had an IVF done.I'll wait for some more time and in case i do not succeed,I'll fix up an appointment with her.
    Have you ever been to her?If yes then how was your experience?

Yes Bani,I have been to her..infact I m been treated by her though not for fertility.My case is different.I have had 2 MCs one at 12 weeks n the other at 22 weeks.So my prob is not been able to carry full term baby.
I think u should meet her,not necessary she would ask u for IVF..there might be some minor prob which could be solved by medications...so just go meet her.My friend was trying to conceive since the past 3 yrs and she finally met up with Sadhana Desai and was diagnosed with very low progesterone level and she is now 7 mths preg!!
So,no harm in seeing her.N for her appt...its around 20 day wait but yes once there...the waiting in the clinic is around 4-5 hrs:((
But she is worth a try!!
If u want more info u can email me at ***@****

Thanks very much for that link. So, I am back to having Pomegrantes again. :)

Everyone,

My test date is Monday, I will post as to how it went. But no symptoms so far. Actually my two weeks end on Sunday, but my RE clinic does not do the test on sunday, so have to wait till monday.

Let's hope for the best.

Hey girls...I am not from India(from NY, USA), but my sister married a man from India, so I know a little bit about the culture, etc.... (Have to say, I love it!!), but anyway.....Ami, too much clomid will thin out your lining and decrease the cm...they tell you not to use it more than 3 consecutive times for this reason...hope this helps!!!  GL to you !!!
