epo delaying ovulation?

[ladders]

Hi I was wondering if anyone has any experience of epo affecting cycle length. Usually I have a 25 day cycle and ovulate on cd 12. I started taking epo a few months back and first cycle didn't start till later and followed by usual pattern. Last month took epo and fertilcm and ovulation was pushed to cd 16. I assumed was the fertilecm and stopped that. Continued with epo this cycle and think it's doing the same. The strange thing is it gives me ewcm the days I would have ovulated on other cycles but it's four days after that and by that time ewcm completely gone!
Any ideas? I've stopped taking it today which is cd 9 do you think that's time to get this cycle back to normal?
Thanks ladies

I don't have any advice...but I started taking EPO this cycle (only CD4 right now) and I was wondering if it would delay my O date...so I'll be back and I hope some other women can answer!

Keep me informed I'll be interested to know if it does. Bloody hope I o normally as dh off this weekend but if epo makes me on late like last month then won't get any bd at the right time. Man this ttc business is hard!

Are you temping or doing OPK's?

I'm doing that as well so I know when I do O! Otherwise I'd go insane wondering...

I can't really temp because I do seven night shifts a month and so sleep in the day and little bits on my shift if I can so it would completely throw it. I had a 21 day progesterone test a few months back which was normal and I get typical post ovulation symptoms like sore boobs and creamy cm so im pretty sure I ovulation (fingers crossed)
Just wish I could know it would happen, a bfp starting to feel impossible

I don't know for sure if it delays ovulation but I heard the same thing along with if you take it after O than it could cause the bean not to stick because it causes the uterus to contract a little all the time. So I went searching for something else and I found flaxseed oil. It does the same thing(helps with cm) which has been working fabulously for me! And its got the omegas you need too! And I don't think there's any negative side effects. Haven't experienced any.
Anyways, that's my 2 cents. Good luck ladies!!! Here's to our BFPs!!!

Interesting, I've never heard of Flaxseed Oil helping with CM...I have some, maybe I can work it in to my smoothies. Since I've already started this EPO stuff, maybe I'll try that next time around .

EPO didn't alter my ovulation date at all, but did help with my CM. I've heard good things about flaxseed oil... anyone know the right dosage?

I take flaxseed oil every night, 1000 mg.
