Pineapple for implantation?

[HisKhaleesi]

Hello again ladies, Ive been taking a two month break TTC, but now Im running out of time so its time to jump back on the bandwagon. I ovulated on Friday CD 21 I believe which has been normal for me. A friend of mine suggested eating fresh pineapple after ovulation. I researched it and it seems to be a common thing to help with implantation.... has anyone tried this? Apparently youre supposed to eat the core, so Im going to blend it all into a smoothie... just curious if anyone else has tried this.

Yes I have read up on this too. Have read lots about women having ivf eating it to help implantation. I am ovulating today so was wandering whether to try it this cycle too. Just scared it might be harmful. Has anyone tried it and it been successful?

I tried it and I cannot say if it was the reason for my bfp's but I would say it definitely didn't hurt! I had several things I was juggling and trying each cycle and pineapple core was one I had heard to try as long as it was AFTER O and not before...something about hostile ph for sperm. Nice to see you back hiskhaleesi!

I tried it from 1dpo. I think you start at 1dpo and continue to 5dpo. I cut the core into 5 sections and then cut each section into tiny pierces so I could chew n swallow. It wasn't that bad, just tedious. But I'll give anything a go in the name of baby making

Glad to see you back!!

I tried it for a couple cycles and it didn't work for me, made AF heavier too. So I took a break from it this cycle.

But I have read a lot of women saying it helped, or they think it did. I guess you can't really be sure. I say give it a try.

Just make sure to eat just the core and not the pineapple meat.

Are you eating a portion of the pineapple?

I read the core is what you eat and when I cut up a pineapple it wasn't that much. Not even a cup a day. I think maybe 4-5 full tables spoons maximum was what it was?

There are also pills with the bromelain in it if you don't like the pineapple


EDIT:

When I asked if youre eating a portion, I mean a portion of the WHOLE pineapple.

To assist with implantation, only eat a portion of the core. I had a look on youtube to find out how to core a pineapple, and I then cut up the core after I removed it from the rest of the pineapple.

Don't eat the whole pineapple, maybe save that for smoothies or give to DH

I tried it and got my BFP the month I tried it. I will try it again next cycle as we already want another!

I've read about it and also know 2 people who swear by it though I macro actually tried it.

I'd say give it ago, you have nothing to loose anyway.
Good luck

Some people say just the core, others say the fleshy part and the core, im eating it all just to be safe lol, i dont care if it makes me feel sick for a bit, im running out of time. I think our BD timing was perfect this month, so Im giving it all Ive got! DESPERATION! lol Our one year mark is in July....thats going to be a hard month for me.

Two days late, did the pineapple work?? If AF is a no show, I will try to force myself to test on Tuesday.....

UPDATE: Af showed last night. Pineapple did not work for me.
