39 weeks & gave in to use EPO

[meg52115]

Ftm. 39 weeks today. Gave in and started taking evening primrose oil yesterday. 2000mg orally in the AM, 1000mg orally with dinner & inserted 1000mg vaginally before bed. I had 2 contractions within a couple of hours, nothing that progressed though. Has anyone else gotten contractions after taking EPO vaginally? I know its just supposed to ripen the cervix, but found the timing odd.

I have dilated to 2cm since taking EPO
