I typically have 28 day cycles and ovulate around CD 12. I decided to try evening primrose oil to help with EWCM, and my ovulation shifted to day 14 or 15. The wonky cycles were freaking me out (because the late O shifted AF back too, making me think I was pregnant), so I stopped all supplements this month... and ovulated on CD10!

Have any of you heard of EPO causing late ovulation? I think I'm going to stick to Preseed rather than any pills. Ugh.

I really can't tell as this is my first charting cycle.

And I haven't had ANY problems with cervical mucus (rather the opposite) even though I haven't checked the "fertility" of the mucus. I've had so much mucus I permanently have to have liners in.

This month I've been taking the EPO to CD 12 - and NO CM whatsoever and a possible ovulation around CD 17-18 (today). Now I am defo not doing EPO next cycle as I have a suspicion that it might bugger up my cycle. It could be that I'm 36 compared with my pregnancy at 30, but with no CM for me is very weird. :growlmad:
 
Thanks, Heramys. I didn't notice that it helped with CM, so out with the EPO! I'm 41, so this older ttc thing is pretty interesting... best of luck to you!

OMG, could that be? I took EPO 5days to O and my O day was late by 3-4days, didnt notice additional EWCM too so i used preseed. I tot it didnt work for me cos i used it for just 5days and i used a dose of 1000mg. Thats too bad if it delays O.
 
I have been taking b100, EPo and drinking grapefruit juice this cycle. I normally get a +opk on cd14 and O next day. This time, only got a +opk yesterday at cd16. Not sure if was any of them that caused it or just messed up cycle following a mc last month. My LP is only 10 days, so will be interesting to see what happens!:shrug:
 
It happened to me too. Took EPO this month from CD 6 on, and it delayed ovulation by 3 days and it actually dried me up!!! I was so mad because my hubby has to abstain for a few days to build up his little guys, so we have to plan the day to the exact!! I'm never doing that stuff again!!
 
I did have loads more ewcm than usual too, and for longer
 
when i was taking epo it did bring my ovulation forward a couple of days but i have spoken to people who have said it has delayed it,, i now use vitamin c for ewcm x
