Improved CM with Evening Primrose Oil
6
Thu, 11-27-2008 - 4:12pm

I've been taking some extra vitamins this cycle.


One of them is Evening Primrose Oil (and also vit E), which are supposed to improve your CM.


I have to say that I have had a lot more EWCM this cycle (I usually only have a tiny bit) and today my EWCM was much thicker than normal.


Today is was like the thicker bit out of actual egg white.


I'm hoping that this is a good sign.

When I was on Clomid last year I tried EPO and it did work well for CM!! Plus it is cheap and easy to find in stores. One bottle lasts a long time. Good luck to you!!

I tried EPO for the first time this cycle as well and noticed amazing improvments. I O'd 3 days earlier then normal (CD17 not CD20), had alot more CM, and I felt GREAT! I am off EPO now for the 2nd half of my cycle and wishing I were still able to take it! Lets hope it gives us BFP's!

Thanks for your replies girls.


I am not sure when I O'd bc I decided not to use OPK's this cycle (and I only have 4 left anyway) I think I may have O'd slightly later and possibly have a slow rise in temps.


I'm now taking Flax seed oil instead of EPO for the 2nd half of my cycle. (thought I'd better swap on CD14 as I usually O on CD 14 or 15).


Calender Gal - I hope your BFN was just too early.


Baby Dust to everyone.

My temp went up this morning, so I think I O'd on CD16 which was the day I had thicker EWCM. (does that sound right?)


That would mean my O days have been CD14, then CD15, and now CD16.


I need one for temp rise to get CH's on FF.


The heating is on 'constant' rather than 'timer' from last night bc it's so cold, but it's always on when I wake up anyway, and DH said he isn't too hot, he's just normal.


I have what feels like O pains now, this sounds wierd, but it kind of feels like someone is pulling on my fallopian tubes and stretching them inwards :)


Also a couple of days ago I felt twinges for the first time in the area of my left ovary, and also twinges in my right ovary. (I normally only feel the right side).


Julie (I really hope I don't get loads of IPS this cycle - sigh)
