evening promise oil
So i heard that Evening promise oil helps, I just want to know how well it does help i know you are only should take it a couple weeks out of the month or it can make it hard for the egg to attach to the uterus. But I have been taking it religiously for about two months and nothing. I feel other things it has worked for like I see really good CM and less cramps during AF. Af comes right on time no tricks. I just want to kinda hear other peoples success storys with EPO. how long did it take you did you have any thing stopping you from conciving (endo, PID, ect.) and it helped you just tell me! i need hope.

It works great for acne and cm. I didn't get really good cm production until I took a prenatal with fish oil in it along with the epo. Once I ovulate I stop taking the epo but keep taking my prenatal. I've only taken it for two or three cycles. I'm 2dpo so I don't know if it worked yet as far as a bfp goes. The other thing I noticed is the epo has been making me o sooner. I was ovulating anywhere from 15 to 20 days into my cycle. Now it's been closer to day 14 or 15. Which is fine with me as it makes my cycles shorter. My luteal phase has stayed the same at about 13 days. I'm not on any fertility treatments and I've been off bc since March last year. But hubby was doing commercial fishing so conceiving our second has been difficult with timing. Dec and Feb we completely missed bd ing window but this month we did well so I have high hopes for conceiving. I use robitussin in addition to thin out my mucus and help the spermies.

I tried EPO for mucus problems and it helped me with better and more CM. I only take it from CD1 until ovulation. I started with a lower dose 1,500 mg and it didn't make a difference. Then I increased to 3,000mg and it made all the difference. I then switched to Borage Seed oil as it has even more gamma linolenic acid and find it works equally well or better than EPO. You just have to try it out and see what dosage of what works best for you. I don't think EPO will necessarily help you get pregnant sooner but it sure increases CM in quantity and quality and that is always helpful when TTC. Best to you.

Robitussin has been prescribed by doctors from time to time to aid women with hostile cervical mucus. It loosens phlegm and mucus including the stuff in your cervix. It must only contain the guaifenesin. No other active ingredients like a cough suppressant. You take about 600 mg a day for 5 days surrounding o. Like 4 days before and the day after or so. I have epo capsules that are 1300mg each. I took 2 in the am and one at night with my prenatal. All the omega fats in the epo and fish oil are what helps with mucus production and quality. The robitussin just things out my cm so sperm can swim thru it easier.
