Evening Primrose Oil

[Arcanegirl]

So when are you meant to take it?

 

[Lazy Leo]

Don't know! I didn't know it was another pg helper!

 

[avistar]

you take it when you first start your period until Oing. Then you need to stop because it can cause uterus contractions. I took it my last cycle and it helped some pms issues and built up more cm. I also drank a lot more water. This cycle I haven't been taking it as much

 

[Arcanegirl]

I got some ready to start tomorrow

Crikey next month is turning into a right old mish mash for me. Sperm meets egg, pre-seed, ovulation testing and now evening primrose. The drug and fertility stores see us coming!

 

[Arcanegirl]

Back into Boots then lol

 

[avistar]

hope that EPO works for you I am sure it will!

Taking 2000mg a day from CD1 till O. Recommended dose is 1500-3000mg a day.

I have a bottle to begin as soon as AF arrives....(lord knows when thats going to be!!! GRR)

So, is it only used to help increase the CM, or does it have other benefits with TTC?

 

[Lazy Leo]

I must be keeping Boots share price sky high!

2000mg, that sounds like a lot? But I don't know whats normally in EPO - my grandparents take it for their joints. Somehow I can't see me asking for some of theirs to increase my CM

 

[Lazy Leo]

It's cod liver oil the grandparents use for their knees, not EPO

 

[Arcanegirl]

Im sure my OH said the same thing too...

 

[Lazy Leo]

How daft do I feel?!

 

[Arcanegirl]

Awww pet

 

[Lazy Leo]

You know, the crazy thing is, even if it was Cod Liver Oil, I'd give it a shot!!!

 

[Arcanegirl]

Mine is evening primrose oil and cod liver oil, horrible aftertaste!
