Question

Evening Primrose Oil. Should I take it or pass?

I've been reading about evening primose oil, and while it does seem to have good effects, the downside seems to be lots of mid cycle bleeding, or early AF's...Can you share your experiences or advise how to take it? I'm on clomid and I just took one 1000mg pill today. (currently CD 5)

I took it without any issues for many cycles and didn't have any mid cycle spotting or weird period. I stopped taking it b/c I got lazy with trying so hard. Plus, I already have decent ewcm...however, many of my ttc friends have taken it and say it has really helped increase their cervical mucus.

I take 3000 mg daily and although I haven't experience mid cycle bleeding or early periods, I have noticed a significant increase in ewcm. So if you're going for improved ewcm I highly recommend giving it a try.

Update: Well I can certainly say that I've seen a difference in my CM from just taking 1000mg a day...I'm only going to take that dosage because I've seen where some miscarriages have come from using Primrose Oil. Just doing things in moderation. So if anyone is wondering, 1000mg works just as well too!
