Question

Opinions on evening primrose oil

Who's tried it? Do you feel it did what you needed it to? I'm thinking about trying it but I do know that sometimes supplements are more placebo than anything.

For me it worked fantastic, used it for the first time last month and got pregnant! It definitely increased my cm when I ovulated. But just like anything, it is almost impossible to say for sure if using the primrose oil is why I got pregnant or if it was just my month, but it sure cant do any harm to try. If you do decide to give it a try, just remember to stop taking it when you have ovulated. Good luck, sending you lots of baby dust.

I have been using a combination of evening primrose oil and black currant oil for a few cycles now. It has increased my CM in quantity and quality, but only after I found the right dosage that works for me. I started with 1,500 mg with little effect and increased to 3,000 mg CD 1 to ovulation with great outcome. I have not become pregnant yet, but I will continue using it. It is a supplement well worth trying. Best wishes and the Lord's blessings.

EPO didnt work for me. I was taking 3000mg, so I switched over to Borage Seed Oil, it has a higher percentage of GLA which is what ur looking for to achieve good cm. Try EPO and if it doesnt work, switch to BSO.

I used it last cycle and yes it increased my CM, but it made me spot from 8DPO until I got my AF. So I will not be taking it again this cycle just to see if it was in fact the EPO that made me spot (not red, just brown).
