Pineapple Core or Bromelain Supplements?

in TTC After a Loss

My plan this morning on my way into the office was to pick up sliced pineapple, since I'm pretty sure O was either last night or today. Our local Japanese market always slices it with the core, so I knew that would be a good option. Unfortunately, they didn't have any. Instead of blowing it off, I really wanted to get some (I'm desperate, yes, I really want to be pregnant), so I stopped at the supermarket on my way to work. I bought a whole pineapple, and couldn't remember if there was a big, sharp knife in the kitchen at work, so I bought a knife. $17 just to have some pineapple core. I should have just gone to Whole Foods or Trader Joe's and bought Bromelain supplements.

Does anyone here take the Bromelain supplements instead of eating the core?

    The bromelain in pineapple core is supposed to help with implantation. You're supposed to take it for 5 days following ovulation.

    I've never been able to find the bormelain supplement. 

     

    Every cycle except for this past one I have ate pineapple core. Last cycle I was doing some more research on it, and I found some not good things about pineapple/bromelain after 5dpo! They said it's good for the first few days, but not to do it after as it can actually hurt implantation.

    Now. I'm not sure if it's true... but I decided to skip on it this cycle. I might pick it up again this cycle.

    The cycle I got pregnant, I took it. I don't remember if I took it more than about 3 days though. I don't think I did.
