Another EPO Question

[Ngala]

Hi All!!

I have just bought a bottle of EPO when I went food shopping today and am planning to start it when I get to 34 weeks.

So my question is... how many do you start off with at 34 weeks and when do you start increasing them? Did you just take them orally at first and then internally later on? What would be great if you could say how many you started with and at what week and what weeks you increased them and when you staring inserting them and how many.

Thanks everyone

And everything is starting to feel so real now that I am doing this and getting my body ready for labour. Gee, its going to feel even more real when I finish up work....

Veronica, I would start with just one a day orally for a couple of weeks. Once you get to 36 weeks increase it to 2 orally and one vaginally at bedtime. By the time you are 37/38 weeks up your dose to 2 orally and 2 vaginally at bedtime. Do this until your bub decides it's time to slide on out I figure with all that oil they should just slide hey.

Thanks Trish. What you have explained sounds perfect and I am going to need to write it down and attach it to my EPO bottle so I dont forget!!

Does it matter what time of day you take them orally?

LOL and yes! It would be good is bubs just slide right on out and no pushing was involved

Nah, I never worried about what time of day. Just whenever I remembered them. Just remember to put a pad on in the night. What goes up, will come down
