Evening primrose

I was wondering if any of you ladies know anything about evening primrose oil capsules? I had heard they were good and help with getting pregnant. However I have bought some and it says on the packet do not take if you are pregnant or are likely to become pregnant????   Bit confused,  also I have started folic acid and vitamin B6 n(also heard this helps) do you know of anything else that maybe useful?  Thanks

Hi there evening primrose can help to produce more fertile cervical mucas. it can be takin on the first day of your cycle ,right up to ovulation . you can only take it up to ovulation because it can cause contractions and would not be good if you became pregnant. if you want to use it you would have to chart your days and know when ovulation is happening so you can stop taking it.  the recommened dose is usually 1500- 3000 mg per day
hope that helps
