Evening primrose oil....did you take it?

posted 9th Oct
Anyone take evening primrose oil (orally or vaginally) the last few weeks to help with effacement? How much did you take and how and did it help with labor or not?

i took probably four or five a day for four days and then i went into labor. not sure if it was just a coincidence or actually helped soften my cervix. i only labored for 8 hours.

tried it vaginally. didn't do nothing. ended up induced. I think I started 2 weeks before I was due. I don't remember how much I inserted. It was nasty as it would leak out at night and the next day so wear a pad the oil would stain clothing or sheets!

Used it... orally and up the hooha, lol!! Took 3 a day and stuck 1 as far up as I could at night. It didn't help and made a horrible, smelly, oily mess.   Still didn't get anywhere with dilation. *sigh*
