Question

Question what to use after evening primrose oil....

I just started using evening primrose oil this cycle (currently CD 7). I know I need to stop taking at ovulation (which will be CD 15 or 16), I plan to start testing at CD 13. I have read that you should switch to fish oil or flaxseed oil. Does anyone have a preference or use one that they prefer? I have heard of fish oil, but not too much about flaxseed.

Anyone experience positives with their AF while using primrose? I started using this AF and usually AF is here for 8days, this month finished at 6 days. I don't know if its just this cycle or what.

I started with EPO this month and switched over to flaxseed oil after O. I am loving the NO PMS symptoms!! The fish oil capsules can sometimes be a little (burp) fishy. I am currently 9 DPO and hopeful - baby dust and GL!!

Oh yeah, I also experienced a more "efficient" AF - came and went with no spotting on either start or finish! So 4 to5 days rather than 6 to 7.

Thanks! I may try the flaxseed oil. The no spotting is what I experienced now at the end. Usually AF is like 8 days (with the last 2 days of spotting), but just stopped yesterday and no spotting. So it's pretty nice! Baby dust to you!!
