My Experience with POM

Where Did I Purchase It?

I bought Pom (Pomegranate) Juice from Costco, a store in the United States. Another store in the United States that sell it is Wal-Mart. However, Pomegranate Juice can be purchased on Amazon.com, such as Lakewood Pure Pomegranate Juice from Amazon. < That is an active link that will take you to Amazon. It is a product that is eligible to be used with Amazon Prime membership or Free Super Shipping with regular membership.

How Much Juice?

The brand I am currently using has 60 fluid ounces per container. While waiting for my postpartum menstrual after the birth of my 2nd child, I started drinking .5 - 2 cups a day at 9.5 months postpartum.

How does it taste?

It honestly tastes similar to drinking pure cranberry juice (not the sweet cocktail). It's not too bad drinking it, but can sometimes leave a little bit of that after taste.

Why Am I Taking It?

I have heard breastfeeding might thin out your uterine lining. A midwife I know said breastfeeding can cause low estrogen levels and low estrogen can cause thin uterine lining. Going hand and hand with a short luteal phase (the egg does not have enough time to implant into the uterine lining properly), I can understand why some breastfeeding women may not become pregnant right away during irregular cycles when their postpartum menstrual has returned.

Some believe implantation dips are myths, because of varying results in dips and outcomes for pregnancy. Usually it is said when your BBT stays above your cover line without dipping below the cover line, it is a sign that you're pregnant. This is just a theory, but it seems for some early implantation dips, may lead to earlier positive pregnancy tests. The exception to early implantation dips theory I have found is that some women get early positive pregnancy tests as a result of having a multiples pregnancy, some women gets dips in many of their cycles that do not result in pregnancy and some women like me don't get dips during a c...
