    It's a myth that some people think pineapple cores can help with implantation.

    I asked 2 RE's about it (they laughed at me), and when I did some research, it showed that pineapple cores can actually hinder implantation!

    There are indications that bromelein, an enzyme found in pineapple (and concentrated in the core) can help with implantation. Some studies have shown that pineapple (even the core) doesn't have enough bromelein to help, others have said it is helpful, some people swear by it, some people think it's the devil incarnate.

    If you want to try it, it likely will not hurt and may help. I tried it here and there some cycles, and it was yummy, but it wasn't a magic bullet.
