I have been reading that Evening Primrose Oil can help conception. Has anyone tried this and what kind of experience did you have?
I am 32 will be 33 tomorrow and really want to be prego by Christmas so I am looking for anything that will help. I got off the pill in April and I know that it takes time, but I hate waiting.

Thank You,
Shannon:)
 
Hi Kittymama/Shannon,

I have no experience w/ep oil, but am guessing it's supposed to alter your cervical fluid (yes?). I finally conceived last month after using robitussin :) It increases and thins all bodily mucus (the cervix is the same type of tissue as the lungs). You take it 3 times a day for two or three days before ovulation. DH can also take it to increase his fluids, too. If you try this, just make sure you use the kind that has only the active ingredient guaifenesin w/o the antihistimines or other additives. (BTW, I am 31 and had been TTC for over a year.)

Good luck to you!!
