Did you know the pineapple has become the unofficial symbol of IVF? 🍍
It all started as a symbol of hope, patience, and the desire for new life — values anyone going through fertility treatment can relate to.
There’s also some interesting science behind it: the core of the pineapple contains bromelain, an enzyme that may help reduce inflammation and support implantation. While the research is still limited, many fertility clinics (and myself!) suggest consumption around embryo transfer as part of a supportive approach! 🍍 A winner if you like pineapple! If you don't, bromelain can be found in supplement form.
✨ Whether you’re going through IVF or supporting someone who is, the pineapple reminds us to stay hopeful and celebrate the small steps along the journey.
