Dosage for Evening Primrose Oil???

[Alan]

I usually reccomend that you take 2 orally per day and insert 2-3 at night

Yes you can start them at 35 weeks

Thanks everyone

I now have another question.....
When everyone talks about leaking, I was expecting it to be oily, would that be right? Overnight & this morning I've had heaps of what I could only describe as EWCM, would that be for real or is it likely to just be from the EPO?

[Trish]

Sarah, it's sort of oily, but it is also mixed in with your CM, so it sounds pretty normal to me hun.

why do people take EPO?

[Trish]

EPO contains prostoglandins - basically the same stuff that semen contains, and what they use to induce you with. It helps to soften your cervix and your tissues. So if you have had a previous episiotomy or cervical surgery it will help to soften that too.

So basically, it's just another way of helping your body to prepare for labour and birth

[{sarah}]

The idea is that the prostogladins in the EPO help to get your cervix ready for labour

Do you have to buy special insertable ones or are they just the everyday ones that you take internally?

[Alan]

You insert the same ones that you take orally
