When to start EPO

[PumpkinZulu]

I started at 36 weeks I believe. I inserted One each night and took one orally. Possibly uppe that to two a piece from 38.5 weeks, I can't remember.

Also, you can get RLT as tablets. I just drank the tea, I loved it black. For me, I believe both EPO and RLT helped my body labour and birth tremendously. I didn't have any VE's in pregnancy, so I don't know if I was dilated before labour, but I had one on admission to hospital, and after being in labour for about 2 hours I was 6cm. My labour was 6 hours total, my contractions were extremely efficient. I'll definitely be using both again.

ETA just asked DH, it was two inserted to orally from 36 weeks, 3 inserted 3 orally from 38.

I started EPO this week at 36 weeks. 2 tabs inserted at night and 3 orally.

I dont like the tea either, so I'm taking RL tabs, 3000mg / day.. started this at 32 weeks, building up from 500mg/week.

Hoping this helps! I'm willing to try anything!

I'm going to sound really uneducated here, but what is EPO? I know RLT, but am unsure about the EPO.

Thanks!
