Flaxseed oil for cm while TTC??
OK I'm 22 and my DH is 28 had my dd at 17 (I know she was a wonderful surprise) now me and my husband (not dd`s father) are TTC I had my mirena removed in august AF came 3 days later and I've been trying ever since. I started charting on month 3 but just last month I gave up on that. I blame at least the last 5 months on bad timing because all I ever get is creamy cm so I always missed my O I took epo last cycle to try and help and ended up with the most messed up cycle I've ever had it was like 48 days and I still didn't get any ewcm I got some flaxseed oil because I read that its better for you then the epo my question is is there a certain amount I should take and is it like the epo where I can only take it till o please help I can't seem too find what I'm looking for also has it been a success for you thanks!!

I take it to help increase cm and I just love it! I really notice a marked difference even before O so that when O day does come around theres an even more difference in the amount produced. To thin out your cm you can also try robitussin a few days before suspected O day. I tried that last month and I only took it a day or two before O and really saw a difference there as well. As for the flax seed you can take it throughout your cycle unlike the epo which didn't work for me either but I try to save some money and I really only take the flax seed up until I confirm O than start it over after af comes :( I take the recommened dose on the bottle 3000mg per day. Good luck it's so much harder when you're trying to plan a baby and want one so bad compared to an oopsy lol :)

EPO doesnt have very high amounts of GLA (gamma linolenic acid) 8-10%, so it doesnt help everyone as much as they hope. Read up on Omega-6 or Borage seed oil (capsules)...Borage has very high GLA content (20-24%) but should be treated exactly like EPO, stop at ovulation. Good luck! =))
