Evening Primrose Oil

[kristenann]

Hi i have been taking prenacare prenatal vitamins and 1000mg EPO daily. This cycle is wack for me, no fertile cm and no obvious temp shift to indicate ovulation and after 3 positive opks i have a negative fertility friend hasnt picked up ovulation yet so why has my OPK now gone negative. Is it the EPO thats messed up my body cycle?

Hi Kristen

It may not be this that's causing the symptoms you're seeing, but to your question, evening primrose oil is high in omega 6, however for optimal fertility you want a good ratio of omega 3 to omega 6.

If you're already having a lot of omega 6 via other sources (e.g. cooking oils, processed food) then it may not be helping, it may be adding to an existing problem.
