I took EPO and drank a glass of grapefruit juice from day one of my cycle this month and the amount of EWCM was AMAZING!!!
I dont usually have that much so I couldnt believe it.

Well I was trying EPO last month and took it until o, and it did seem to help my cm and my skin and I had a 28 day cycle for the first time in aages (usually cycle is all over the place) and this month I didn't use it and I have had no EWCM atall... just one day of stickiness.

SO if I don't get my bfp this month, I will be back on the little vitamins next month (actually they were the biggest tablets I have ever had )

Hmm, I can only find evening primrose oil with added cod liver oil.

Do you reckon it'll do the same job? There's no harm in taking cod liver oil too, is there?

I know Holland and Barretts sell it... http://www.hollandandbarrett.com/pag...g+primrose+oil but I am not sure if they ship abroad... they should do.

I don't think it can harm you to take the ones with Cod Liver Oil in... google it first though just to be safe.

I got mine from Tesco, it was EPO with Starflower Oil... like I said before though, the capsules were HUGE so you can't take them if you have a skinny throat

Ah, bugger. I need to buy myself some without the cod liver oil!!
Quote:
There are two types of fish oil supplement - those made from the liver of the fish and those made from the body of the fish. Supplements made from the liver of the fish, such as cod liver oil, contain the retinol form of vitamin A and need to be either avoided altogether or strictly limited in pregnancy so that your daily intake does not exceed 3,300 micrograms (mcg). On the other hand, fish oils not derived from fish livers contain lots of DHA (docosahexaenoic acid), which is essential for your baby's developing eyes and brain.

Although... the EPO with cold liver oil only contains 500mg cod liver oil.

Meh, still not gonna risk it.
