Why should i stop taking evening primrose when I ovulate?
Evening primrose oil contains estrogen-boosting compounds. Your cycle is dominated by estrogen prior to ovulation and then by progesterone following ovulation. EPO can disrupt that balance shift in hormones. Progesterone is important for implantation and early retention of a pregnancy, so it's essential that the levels are normal.
