Advice on evening primrose oil?

I'm confused about evening primrose oil. What does it do? The info I've been reading has left me very unsure if I should try it. I have terrible breast pain before my period, does it help with that? Also I'm not producing as much ewcm and intercourse is uncomfortable, especially when we're trying to make the most of my fertile time. New hubby and I are ttc our first, stopped the pill last November so we're just a few months in but giving it our all so far. We're in our late 30s, trying to stay positive and keep it fun! It sure can get stressful though. Good Luck to all and thanx for any advice????

I also am taking evening primrose oil to help with CM, I am also on my 3rd cycle using Clomid to help me ovulate. I have PCOS, a side effect of Clomid is decreased CM. There is concern from what I have read that it can cause early pregnancy and advised to take CD1 to day of ovulation. Hope this helps you, good luck!
