And because I can't edit my previous post to get my signature to line up (ha!) so I'm posting a second message... I think Ttbeamom is using the the vegetable oil as a lubricant.

EPO is used to increase cervical mucus production, so its supposed to provide you with more fertile CM. Its apparently a huge help to folks who are dealing with dry spells or just don't produce a lot to begin with.
I've only started it this month, so I've got some time to go before I see if it works, but I've heard tons of positive things about it from other ladies around here. :)

I can't say that I have, however! Did a bit of quick digging and reading and got these two answers/articles :)

The first one is from an Ivillage Q&A:
http://parenting.ivillage.com/ttc/ttcprep/0,,44lf,00.html

The second is from a website called "TwoweekWAIT.com:"

EPO IS SHORT FOR EVENING PRIMROSE OIL. IT IMPROVES YOUR CERVICAL MUCUS. YOU TAKE IT FROM CD1 THROUGH OVULATION. YOU CAN PURCHASE IT ONLINE OR GO TO GNC OR SOMEPLACE SIMILAR.


VEGETABLE OIL IS WHAT A LOT OF FERTILITY SPECIALISTS TELL THEIR TTC PATIENTS TO USE. IT'S VERY SPERM FRIENDLY. IT FEELS VERY NICE TOO! YOU CAN ALSO USE REAL EGG WHITES.


VITEX IS LIKE A NATURAL CLOMID. YOU HAVE TO TAKE IT A FEW MONTHS FOR IT TO GO INTO EFFECT BUT I THINK IT'S WORTH IT!


I TOOK CLOMID FOR ONE CYCLE AND DID NOT GET PREGNANT. 2 CYCLES AFTER I TOOK CLOMID I GOT MY BFP...BY FOLLOWING THE FIST 3 THINGS!


I AM SURE IT'S A BIG FAT DUH...BUT BE SURE TO LAY WITH YOUR HIPS ELEVATED FOR AT LEAST 20 MIN AFTER BD'ING. AND CHART CHART CHART!!!


LOL...GOSH THIS IS FUN! I LOVE TTC-ING! LOL!!!!
