Evening Primrose Oil (EPO) ??? HELP???

[TajaCheyenne]

So my doctor suggested that I start talking EPO 3x a day. Twice orally and once vaginaly to soften the cervix. Is that all it does? I heard it induces you as well. Im 26 weeks now and he wants me to start by 30 weeks. So does it work is my question and has anyone experienced it????  Thanks a ton.   :-)

I'd love to know that ^ as well as where to get it. Is it something Walmart will have? Or GNC, or walgreens???

Im curious about this too. I've been taking it orally for a few weeks now. To use it vaginally, do you just put in the whole pill? Does the casing dissolve? Or do you have to squeeze the oil out?

Ive been taking it, I didnt shat until 36 weeks because im on my third and have a lot of contractions anyways... it helps soften things up I only take it once a day and no longer insert it becuse ive been losing my plug:-) but my friends that deliver natural swear by it!

Yes it does work I did it with my first pregnancy but I did go in to labor about a week after taking it n I also still ended up having to have a c section but I was taking it to try n have it vaginal but it was a long shot for me of whole other reason but in y'all I'm trying to say is yes it does what it says it does
