Hi everybody,

Just wondering if anyone has tried EPO to help regulate their cycle/increase EWCM and did it work? I am willing to try anything becasue my cycle is still all over the place!

EPO is good stuff for increasing ewcm - I took 3 a day from AF to O. It won't regulate your cycle though. You could try vitex for that? GL

^^ What Stephie said.

I used EPO to increase EWCM and it worked a treat. Lots of gooey goodness

Vitex helped me regulate my cycles when I first came off the pill.

Wishing you luck!!

I just bought a big tub of EPO. I plan to take 3 a day. Hopefully does the trick this time! Does it matter what time you take it?
I always take all my pills at night, currently 1 inner health plus, 2 blackmores pregnancy gold, and now 3 EPO. I'm cutting out coffee too (soooo hard. I work as a barista at a cafe!) Praying this time it works!!

Hmm my pack just says take them with a meal, I don't think it really matters what time of day. Good work resisting that delicious coffee too! Hope you get your sticky bun soon

EPO worked well for me too, it definitely increased EWCM. I had barely any before I started taking it. Great for your skin as well. I had it with meals morning and night. Man, those pills are huge!

I also used Vitex to regulate cycles. I went from 37 to 33 days after the first cycle of taking it, and then eventually stabilised between 29 and 31. Acupuncture really helped too, if you're up for trying it...

Best of luck Mog

Thanks girls, excellent to hear that it seems to help! I will give the Vitex a go too. I also take the blackmores vitamin Tasha

Not sure what happened there with rule2 foping in the title, I am very new to this forum thing hahahaha but it made me crack up!!!!!

LOL Mog!

I had no idea evening primrose oil was supposed to help with EWCM. Fascinating! There's some in the cupboard, maybe I should try it. I haven't noticed a lack of EWCM, but anything not harmful that could be helpful seems like a good idea.

So you only take it the first half of your cycle?

**snikkers1** · September 28th, 2011, 08:46 PM

Yep just take it from cd1 to O it works wonders I always get lots of EWCM when I take it.

**Maruschke** · September 28th, 2011, 08:54 PM

I have taken 3 EPO twice a day from CD1 to O every cycle and never saw any EWCM. If you drink lots of water, and take EPO, and still don't see any, speak to your doc.

Like me

I have slightly more CM, but no EWCM, ever.

Hi - sorry just saw the thread title.. cant resist... I am a bit of a fish oil addict - fish oil is also great as it will increase the length of your luteal phase (which improves chances of conception). I just recently started taking my previous massive doses of fish oil again and my cycle has kicked back into gear (am breastfeeding) straigthaway.

There is a product specifically designed to increase cervical mucus, i think it's about $20- $30, I can get you the link if you like

I hadn't realised the importance of cervical mucus until recently, it's amazing all the different things that need to go right. (And frustrating if they aren't!)
