    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
