evening primrose oil

[stefb]

I had a feel for my cervix ( yes I know this is really TMI) and I can't find it! Either my channel tunnel has got longer or my hands have shrunk! lol I know I've felt it in past (don't ask). Not sure what effect it might be having. Triedmy next capsule last night and tried to half dose by actually breaking the capsule and pouring....all this stuff is a bit hard on your own eh? I'm sure I'd cope better if I didn't have a big bump in the way too!
My hubby's gonna have a long list of jobs to do this weekend when he's home! hahaha

OMG lol i cant stop laughing at that
my bump is really hard when i wake up dunno if this is anything to do with it, but MW said my cervix is still long

i got the 1000mg ones so i dunno what end to use it from lol... i think today il do it orally and tomorrow the other way coz i think taking 2 (1 each end) in a day would be too much , thatd be 2000mg !? ?

It's more effective as taken as a pessary when your in later stages of pregnancy so perhaps try that. (Vaginally I mean)

 

[stefb]

thats what ive been doin but not sure if its doing anything

I took it orally yesterday and it didnt seem to do anything ... im gonna try the other way before bed tonight and we'll see.

Oh & In ur opinion ladies, which has had more effect and is better ? raspberry leaf tea, primrose oil or the sex ??

 

[stefb]

SO I have been taking EPO, and it seems to be doing nothing for me.. I am wondering what it means exactly to rub it on your cervix?? Stupid question I know. but am willing to try anything..

If you can find your cervix, then break open a capsule on your fingers and massage your cervix very gently. Personally just inserted one vaginally as high up as I could get it before going to bed. I know that after a few days that had really really softened up my cervix as I was checked by my midwife. After about a week I could reach my cervix myself and gave it a massage every day. Just make sure you have super clean hands and short nails! x I'm definitely using it again this time!!

I had started putting them inside for a few days but have sropped now air read you shouldn't do that once you loose your plug.well I had something that was either discharge or a bit of plug.after asking what it was on here I now think it was just discharge but I detent risk it with the internal capsule anymore.booo what its powton massage by the way?
