Hello ladies,


I heard so many good things about EPO (evening Primrose Oil)...I just bought some. Can somebody give me advices? As when to take it, dosage, what exactly does it do, etc?


I am CD11 and I should O around CD16 or so...can I still take it or am I too late for this cycle?


Thanks in advance and BABY DUST!

Hi there. This is only my first cycle using EPO and other suppliments, so I hope I provide some help, if not, there are many ladies on this board who are pro.


There are alot of online sources regarding dosage, but here is what I tried...(and it worked wonders!)


Starting cd1, 1500mg (3 caps) I took these in the morning after I had breakfast. After one week of this and my body responding nicely, I changed the dosage to 2000mg. 2 caps in the morning and 2 in the afternoon. Once I ovulated I stopped.


I noticed a GREAT change in my CM and my overall mood, emotions, BBT temps. It did all positive things for me.


To this diet of suppliments, I also am on Vitamin E, Zinc, Folic Acid, and every 2nd day Vit C. With this I drink a TON of water.


Hope this helps...keep us posted..
