The EPO Experiment: Chapter 5

View Full Post

Hi ladies...

Since we filled 14 pages already, and I'm bored, I figured I would jump the gun and start the new thread! Hopefully the start of a new thread will brng in some new ladies to chat with our amazing group!

For those who are new, I think it's appropriate to give a little spiel:
EPO is supposed to help create more cm when taken from cycle days 1- Ov. Stop taking it from Ov until your next cycle, which we all hope to ride through with warmer temps, high high cervixes and a BFP, not to mention love and support.
Some folk switch to flax oil after Ov, but some of us just quit and hope for the best.

Also maybe a quick introduction for any new-comers and a refresher for everyone else?

My name is Joy
I'm ttc #1
Have been ttc for nearly 2 years
I've had 2 m/c's
My last pregnancy I got pg on my 1st cycle using EPO!
I am currently on cd31 of a 30-34 day cycle
Hoping for a bfp, but not feeling too optimistic
didnt try the epo this go around, but if af shows this week I plan on giving it another try!

Good luck ladies!
Here's to another chapter!

Joy, I took progesterone for the first 14 weeks of this pregnancy, and from what my dr told me even if you dont need it, it cant hurt. You need a prescription and they are pretty expensive, but it was well worth the peace of mind they gave me, and first of 3 pg in the last year to stick and make it past 8 weeks, I honestly believe its what made the difference for me! And like the dr said, it cant hurt! I really recomend using it!

Aaaaaaaah! Joy, I am over the moon for you!!!!!
Congratulations to you and your family!!!
It was funny starting from the top of this page, since I hadn't been here in a while: +opk... triphasic bbt... is that a line?... BFP!!

So happy for you.
I agree with Liz that you should find out about progesterone. Maybe there are some foods that help raise the level too? I think another big factor in stickiness is vitamin D and E. I'm sure you have a multi you're using, so keep it up :)

Love to Ayrian, Becca, Liz, and everyone else here too. I'll catch up again soon.

Afm, I'm halfway this week :)

Jil - Thanks! I bought my EPO (Evening Primrose Oil) from Shoppers Drug Mart here in Canada, but anywhere that sells vitamins should have it! :) Good luck!
