When should I start eating it and when should I stop? I'm getting ready to O tomorrow or the next day and I've already eaten it for 3 days. Should I eat it everyday, should I not? Just thought I'd get some advice. Thanks!

That said, I dont' think it will hurt anything to start early. The acidity shouldn't be too much of a problem considering how many of us drink grapefruit juice (lots of acidity!) for increased CM ; )
Good luck!!
warning!!! eating it gave me uterine cramps/contractions which can actually INHIBIT implantation. this doesn't happen with everyone but it happened to me. makes sense bc people use it to induce labor contractions sometimes! the only month i did not eat it was the month i got my bfp! go figure...
good luck!

I started my core at 2 days past O because it took a while to get my hands on a pineapple.
Or are you guys literally buying a fresh/whole pineapple and peeling it and cutting it into pieces?

Now, if you don't have the cutting service or don't want to mess around with that, in case you've never cut a pineapple before and find the task daunting, here are a few simple tips for easy pineapple dissection! :-)
1. Use a large bladed, sharp knife.
2. Lay the pineapple on it's side and cut off the top and bottom of the pineapple. This gives it a sturdy bottom to stand on.
3. Stand up the pineapple and cut the outer layer off in 2ish in. wide strips from top to bottom, much like you cut corn off the cob. (cut just deep enough to cut away all the eyes of the pineapple)
4. Once all outer layer is gone, leave standing and cut in 4 lengthwise, then cut each length into bite size pieces.
5. If you wanted the core gone, after cutting into 4 lengthwise, you would then cut about an inch off the middle edge of each piece before cutting into smaller bite size pieces.
Happy pineapple eating everyone!
Guess I'll be adding eating a pineapple to my list of things to do!
And excellent to know about a free pineapple cutting service!
I ate some last night but it took me a little while to eat it. I am also drinking red wine and the two do not go well. Eek!
Today I brought the pineapple with me and have been munching on it all day.
Just wondered if it mattered when I ate it.
