Hi, some background info first
i was diagnosed with a mismiscariage and had a D&C on 1 august last year
well we have been TTC since with no luck.
now to help with my nonexistent CM i started taking evening primrose oil 2/3 caps a day (1000mg each) from cd1. on CD 4 my DH said to me "are you sure you are not preggers your B**Bs are massive"
"i said don't be silly i just had my AF". my BBs have been tender. i got no increase in CM
has anyone else found this with EPO?
I've just started with EPO too - 2 caps a day...I can't say that I've had any real side-effects from it so far (I've only been on them about 5 days). Except for (sorry..TMI)...a bit of loosening in the "bowel regions"...which is actually a welcome side-effect for me!
Its too early for me to tell any change in CM, I'm just at the tail-end of AF. But no changes in my BBs I'm afraid (would be nice tho!).
i too would like looser bowels, so i hear you there !!!
i didn't notice any though mores the pity.
DH reeeealy liked the BBs
i think i may do a HPT as i haven't found any other info that EPO has this effect.
not expecting a pos but i have been eating No nos, and having a few drinks.
my mum was 4 months gone with my sister and didn't know as she was bleeding very month when AF was due.
but then again it is probably wishful thinking. it took 91 days for AF to come after my D&C and i think i did 10 HPTs
hey beanybub, how was the BD'athon. just wondering if you got any improvement in the cm department. i see from your chart you are a few days post ov. ?
i am not a stalker really
well i did a test last week and neg
but just did another as my symptoms were skyhigh and i got a
i am only 10dpo so only 3 weeks officially i am off to the doc's on thursday to confirm
( or i could be 6 weeks as i said the B**B's have been sore for more than 2 weeks!!)
either way i don't care
so for you i hope the EPO helped you
Woo-hoo!!! Thats FANTASTIC news!! You must be sooo excited! Hmm...so, BFP at 10DPO? I was thinking of testing at 10DPO too...that's Sunday - only 6 days to go!
Well, I have to say that I didn't see much difference in my CM I have heard that it can take a few months to have an effect tho. Oh well, I just hope what little I have now is enough to help those squigglies up to where they need to be!
thanks beanybub, still a little unreal at this stage. its great to have someone else to tell when you can't tell anyone else ykwim !!!
i think i may need to get another test to convince myself.
do be careful testing early. i have had alot of BFNs and it does get disheartening, there is also the prospect of chemical pregnancies (where AF comes on time or slightly late after an early BFP).
if you have symptoms i'd say go for it. although i should be the last to talk i convince myself every month i have symptoms
i'll put the epo away for the last trimester, hopefully
best of luck i'll be thinking of you.
