LOL. </p> <p>Anyway, I know a few people who have had good success with it from Weddingbee...Am considering taking it myself. Do you have a naturopath in your area? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/evening-primrose-oil-1#post-478708 Thu, 03 Jan 2013 17:18:27 +0000 MrsCastro 478708@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@evenstar982: how uch did you take per day, mg? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/evening-primrose-oil-1#post-478553 Thu, 03 Jan 2013 16:18:08 +0000 evenstar982 478553@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I stopped BCP in August; After 3 months off I wasn't convinced I was ovulating yet so I started taking EPO at the start of cycle 4 (early Dec); and on CD 16 I got both a very positive OPK and a really positive ferning test result. I stopped taking it after that while I was in the TWW.</p> <p>I'm now 17DPO and got a BFP on new years eve (tested at 14DPO due to rediculously achy boobs which DH said looked like they doubled in size overnight)!</p> <p>It's still early days though, so now just praying for a sticky baby.<br /> Good luck! x </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/evening-primrose-oil-1#post-478522 Thu, 03 Jan 2013 16:08:10 +0000 shopaholic 478522@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I think I started using it month 2 and got preggers month 3 (but then I had a m/c). I got preggers again 2 months after that. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/evening-primrose-oil-1#post-478501 Thu, 03 Jan 2013 15:59:35 +0000 MrsCastro 478501@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@shopaholic: how many cycles did you use it before you were KU? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/evening-primrose-oil-1#post-478475 Thu, 03 Jan 2013 15:53:36 +0000 shopaholic 478475@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I did use EPO to increase my CM. I basically could never get the EWCM before I started taking the EPO. Not sure if it did the trick or not, but I did use it and it did increase my CM. We also used Pre-Seed. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/evening-primrose-oil-1#post-478394 Thu, 03 Jan 2013 15:28:11 +0000 MrsCastro 478394@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@chibee: no its ok...and yes...i have noticed that after my D&amp;C back in August that i had quiet a decrease in EWCM during O time...the only time i would get it would be 2 days before O...and that would be it...so i had ready that EPO was good to help produce Fertile CM, and it really has helped me... </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/evening-primrose-oil-1#post-478385 Thu, 03 Jan 2013 15:26:26 +0000 JerricaBenton 478385@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I was taking it when we were TTC but I was actually using it to help regulate my thyroid. I don't know if it did or not but my thyroid regulated and has stayed normal during pregnancy, and I did get pregnant after a few months of taking it. I stopped during two week waits because I read that it should never be used once pregnancy is achieved. I didn't notice change in CM but I wasn't looking for it. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/evening-primrose-oil-1#post-478329 Thu, 03 Jan 2013 15:11:40 +0000 chibee 478329@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@mrscastro: are you taking it specifically to increase CM? sorry for so many questions, i'm curious about these natural remedies for fertility! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/evening-primrose-oil-1#post-478013 Thu, 03 Jan 2013 13:13:00 +0000 MrsCastro 478013@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@chibee: good side effects fertile like CM and bad effect just a mild headache...but i am known to get headaches with just about anything i take.... </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/evening-primrose-oil-1#post-477405 Thu, 03 Jan 2013 09:50:35 +0000 chibee 477405@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@mrscastro: have you had any side effects from it? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/evening-primrose-oil-1#post-475914 Wed, 02 Jan 2013 15:43:44 +0000 MrsCastro 475914@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>i am using the Target brand...and they are 1000mg and the label says to take 3 per day...but i only take 1-2...it has really helped increase EWCM this week...i have been real lax about OPK's this month...but i know i havent O'ed yet...i should i Friday based on the last two months... </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/evening-primrose-oil-1#post-475614 Wed, 02 Jan 2013 14:20:43 +0000 Happygal 475614@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I'm subscribing b/c I'm interested in hearing more about this!
