pineapple core question

khays8785 · November 2012

for those who eat it post-O, I started around 3DPO and have eaten it daily since - but I finished the pineapple last night (I just buy a fresh pineapple and slice it up)

at 8DPO - should I keep eating it through to testing?

Sorry if I missed the bus, but what's the significance in pineapple?

khays8785 · November 2012

it contains some chemical/whatever (starts with a b, and I'm too lazy to look it up right now, if someone wants to help) that supposedly aids in implantation...

The Internetz say:

Pineapple core can help with Implantation. Pineapple contains a proteolytic enzyme called Bromelain, an enzyme that can reduce inflammation in the body, including in the uterus. It also seems to be a mild blood thinner which can aid in implantation.
For IVF [in vitro fertilization] cycle: one pineapple, divided into 5 portions - consume one portion each day, over five days, beginning on the day of your embryo transfer.
IUI [intra-uterine insemination] cycle: one pineapple, divided into 5 portions - consume one portion each day, over five days, beginning on the day of your IUI.
Timed intercourse cycle: one pineapple, divided into 5 portions - consume one portion each day, over five days, beginning on the day after ovulation.

Note: Be careful not to start consuming pineapple too early in the cycle. Beginning to consume pineapple BEFORE the recommended days above can actually affect your vaginal and cervical mucus PH, making it more acidic.

There aren't any scientific studies proving the efficacy of bromelain aiding implantation.

If you like eating pineapple, go for it. But it's not a fertility wonder food by any stretch of imagination.

One pineapple is good per 2WW. Smile

If I may give a suggestion, I always blended it with some pears, peaches and bananas to make a smoothie for breakfast those days. It's a lot better than trying to chew down the hard core.

If it works or not, no real studies prove it does or doesn't. But... it honestly couldn't hurt. (Unless you start too early like PP said) And it's yummy!

i tried to blend in a few days ago, i nearly vom'ed in my mouth for some reason (?! symptom?! lol)

I cut it into small pieces and eat a piece with a larger bite of regular pineapple...

and yea, it doesn't hurt right? why not.
