TTC - Evenign Primrose Oil?

This might sound stupid. But I am trying to get pregnant and just heard about this: Evening Primrose Oil. But, I don't understand what it is or why it would help get me pregnant. And where can I purchase this. Any info on this would be great.

TTC - Evenign Primrose Oil?
Evening Primrose Oil is the oil derived from a North American wildflower called Evening Primrose. Evening Primrose is not really a primrose, but it gets its name from that flower because the plant looked similar to an English Primrose. The oil is rich in Vitamin E just like olives and nuts are. In addition, evening primrose oil also has gamma linolenic acid (GLA), an essential fatty acid. People that have difficulty creating in this fatty acid in their own bodies can benefit from its use.



The Europeans were one of the first to make it popular. They brought it back to their native soil and crowned this oil a "King's cure-all" because of its many useful properties that can cure a large number of diseases. In England, the oil is approved for use with eczema and high cholesterol. In women, it can especially be helpful for relieving breast pain, menstrual pains and improving the quality and fertility of cervical mucus.







Evening Primrose Oil or EPO helps women to produce more fertile quality cervical fluid also known as "egg white cervical mucus". This type of cervical fluid is fertile, thin, watery, clear and "stretchy" and easily aids the sperm to swim through the uterus and into the fallopian tube, and to the egg. Also, this type of fluid helps the sperm to stay alive for up to five days inside the fallopian tube, thus enabling conception to happen even if you don't have intercourse again by the time ovulation occurs.



If your cervical fluid is thick, brown or dry, it can obstruct or prevent fertilization. Some women are very dry, and have problems in producing an adequate amount of fertile quality cervical fluid. Drinking a lot of water and taking the Evening Primrose Oil or EPO can certainly help in the production of fertile cervical fluid in these women.
Reply:Agree with the first answer. But remember, if you're taking it to TTC then don't take it after Ovulation.
Reply:Ok, I have heard of this, even purchased it ( Walgreens, GNC) But before you think about purchasing, you should talk to your doctor. I have a link that I will give below. Please-Please read all the info, and talk with your doctor. The safer route then EPO is a multivitamin, A natural omega 3 fish oil (ask at Gnc or Walgreens for the most natural form) , and 2 capsules of Fertility Blend for women. 1 of each of the others. I asked My obgyn. He aslo said that taking pre-nates will be very benificial, but you need to speak with your doctor.

Good luck to you, I hope this helped. :)
