EPO- Dosage?

[Heaven]

My midwife said to start taking EPO at 37 weeks - 1 in the morning orally and 1 at night either orally or vaginally.

But on the pack it says to have 1-2 capsules three times a day!!

So is the 2 a day even enough to do anything?? (I'm talking about the 1000mg capsules btw).

And, orally or vaginally?? What's more effective??

TIA!

Hi SaraJane
I would suggest that you take 1 in the morning orally, 1 at bedtime orally and insert 1-2 high into the vagina at bedtime

Are you using it to soften up your cervix? If so I'd probably go more than one a day and do it internally.
You could try using one internally twice a day and see how you go, and take another one orally.

Wow I can't believe your babe is nearly done already!
Good luck!

ETA yeah bedtime is good, if you're lying down there's less of it to come out

Ok thanks guys!!
I wonder why she only said 2 a day?? It can't hurt anything can it??

Tobily- yep, to soften cervix.
