Evening Primrose Oil - how much and when?

[Ozstar]

I started them at 37 weeks. My midwife had me take two orally and insert one then the next day take one orally and insert two. No need to break them open, I wore a panty liner though as sometimes it can get gooey lol.

i used two every night & they helped my labor. i didnt tear at all!

I suggest that you take 2 orally per day and also insert at least 2 but you can insert as many as 4 at night. Put a pad on because things do get messy when you get up. I usually recommend that you start EPO at 36 weeks

I tried 2 orally and 2 inserted for the last 4 weeks. I only did the inserted once tho...I ended up with a bit of a rather itchy reaction to the oil - worse itchy than thrush.
Didn't work for me, but always worth trying something that's safe for you and bub anyway
