Evening Primrose Oil - morning gush?

[seenabeena]

Yesterday I decided to start useing EPO to help things get ready. I took 1 capsual orally and inserted 1 internally before bed last night. I pee'd 3 times during the night and could feel that the oil was leaking during the night, but then this morning I had a gush of clear fluid again (about 1 teaspoon). Is it possible for the EPO to still be inside after 3 pee's? It didn't feel as oily or smell as oily as the leaks during the night.

Thanks

I can't say that I have any experience with EPO, but I've been using probiotic capsules internally for a bit to treat very stubborn thrush that canasten didn't work on (never does with me, I'm really not sure why I bother), and was having a very similar situation to you. I suspect it's the vagina's reaction to having things up there that it thinks don't belong - create more fluid to flush it out. I could be wrong, however, but now that my thrush has gone and I've stopped using the probiotic capsules, things are back to normal again.

However, tell me more about the EPO... I'm in terrible pain this morning and would love to investigate all options to encourage this child out in a timely fashion rather than ending up somewhere over 40 weeks and facing an induction.

EPO is supposed to help ripen the cervix for labour. If you google it there is heaps of info about it.

I didn't have a 'gush' this morning though so I don't know what's going on.
