The infertility struggles that people experience are real and often not spoken about. Everyone’s journey through infertility is unique and personal, yet the feelings of isolation, loneliness, grief, and silent suffering are shared among millions of men and women around the world in their quest to have a healthy baby and start a family of their very own. I was inspired to write this book which provides deep personal insights into my own journey, in the hope that it helps give infertility a voice and provides support to other people experiencing their own challenging infertility journey, particularly via IVF. The references to “pineapple” in the book hold a special meaning. While not scientifically proven, there is a theory that pineapple (especially the core) contains bromelain, which is an enzyme that helps break down and digest our food. It is known to have anticoagulant (blood thinning) and anti-inflammatory properties. The theory is that these properties might help with embryo implantation; hence the eating of pineapples post implantation to help babies grow. (https://www.ccrmivf.com)
