you take it when you first start your period until Oing. Then you need to stop because it can cause uterus contractions. I took it my last cycle and it helped some pms issues and built up more cm. I also drank a lot more water. This cycle I haven't been taking it as much

Crikey next month is turning into a right old mish mash for me. Sperm meets egg, pre-seed, ovulation testing and now evening primrose. The drug and fertility stores see us coming!

I have a bottle to begin as soon as AF arrives....(lord knows when thats going to be!!! GRR)

So, is it only used to help increase the CM, or does it have other benefits with TTC?

I must be keeping Boots share price sky high!

2000mg, that sounds like a lot? But I don't know whats normally in EPO - my grandparents take it for their joints. Somehow I can't see me asking for some of theirs to increase my CM
