HI ladies

I've just bought some evening primrose capsules, as I've heard it helps with ewcm....which I'm lacking in at the min, so I'm hoping this will help. But I have no idea how much to take, when to take or for how long?

Can any of you ladies shed some light? X x x

I am only taking 1000mg at bedtime, but I have heard some ladies taking up to 3 capsule (3000mg per day). I never used to have much eycm but definately had it the cycles I use evening primrose oil. It is also good for reducing pms symptoms - so if you suffer in that dept it's an added bonus - although lets hope we won't have any more pms symptoms for another reason, lol.

oh, and forgot to say, you only take it up until you O and then stop

I just started to take it too. fingers crossed it works! Xx

When ttc my son I took it on my 3rd cycle and got my bfp, then when ttc my dd I didn't take it again until the 3rd cycle and got my bfp - so this time ttc I thought I'd start taking it straight away, didn't get preg last cycle and not sure if I ov the first one - this cycle is number 3 so waiting to see I'm 3rd tme lucky again

Ah brilliant thank iwant3. I thought i only took it til ov but wasn't 100% sure. I've got 1000mg capsules so I'll just start off with 1 a day and see what my cm is like this cycle.

I'm on cd3 and I'll take it tonight, missing a couple days want make a huge difference will it? I don't expect to ov til cd17 or 18 so plenty of days for it to start working isn't there?

And good luck bb4us x x

I find I have 'shiny' loo paper everyday when taking it, lol. But it definately increased at O and I had super stretchy cm, sorry tmi.
