Like in a 1000 mg capsule? If anyone knows what the calories or fat grams are it would be helpful to know.
I know the oil is good for you if you're female and I usually take around 3000 mg a day in capsule form. and I don't intend to stop because it's good for PMT. But I am considering going on a diet and I can't help wondering about it!
How many calories are in evening primrose oil?
I'm pretty sure there are only a few calories per capsule (5-10). I used to take EPO because it's supposed to help regulate periods and with dry skin (though it did nothing for my skin). You can do a search for evening primrose oil and find the nutritional info there, though I'm sure there aren't many calories and no fat grams in EPO capsules. It's actually supposed to help with metabolism, so it will prolly help you in your diet which will make up for the calories. HTH.

Can I take evening primrose capsules and Starflower capsules together?
I've been suffering really bad with my PMT lately and it's starting to affect me worse every month. Worst is the mood swings and irratability. And I get soo emotional and tearful. I have to come off the pill for health reasons and am hoping this will help with my PMT. But also heard the above 2 supplements were good for PMT. But can I take them together? And what's the best dose? Thanks. And any other advice from other PMT sufferers - it's even starting to affect my relationship and I'm worried my boyfriend is pulling his hair out! Thanks,
Can I take evening primrose capsules and Starflower capsules together?
actually you can get a combination of both in a single capsule ,my wife takes them ,just bought some from tescos the other day
Reply:What else are you taking? It's a legitimate question, simply because anything and everything can interact with anything and everything.
The good news is that there are people who spend a lot of time in school learning about such things - pharmacists. Ask yours.
Reply:yes you can take them both together i did for the same reasons and it really helped . I got the tablets called well woman from a supermarket which as both ingredients in them they do work good luck
Reply:Hi there, I used to suffer from terrible pmt and cramps, a friend of mine recommended I try some stuff called tang kuei plus. It’s a crazy name but it sure works. It eased just about all my symptoms and anxiety that I used to get, plus which it meant I could get some decent sleep aswell. You get 60 tablets for $12.50 and there are clear directions to take that come with it. There are no silly side effects either which was such a relief.
The only place I know where to get it (its where I get mine) is www.myhealthabc.com
The website is mostly about losing weight and sports nutrition but once you put in your details you can go through and purchase what you want. You get a username and password so can re-order whenever you want. There is a link in there to the owners email so if you don’t want them to call you just drop them an email and say you just want to buy the products and they will oblige. This stuff really works, my two sisters now use it aswell, much to the relief of their husbands. I also use their berry complex as I used to get a lot of urinary tract infections, fingers crossed since using it (over a year now) I have only ever had one slight infection, which is better than getting them every few weeks as I did previously.
Hope this helps, try it you wont be dissapointed.

How often should I take Evening Primrose Oil?
I just recently bought Evening Primrose Oil to help soften my cervix and have read numerous things about how to take them. I've read after 38 weeks you should take 3-4 a day, and I've also heard to insert the capsule into the vagina as well. So should I orally take 3-4 plus insert one, or just one or the other. Thanks, I'll be asking my doctor on Friday if the baby doesn't come before then.
P.s. I'll be 39 weeks Saturday
How often should I take Evening Primrose Oil?
You should check with your doctor before using Evening Primrose Oil. There hasn't been sufficient study of EPO during pregnancy and breastfeeding to determine its safety and effectiveness.
hayes

How does evening primrose oil help with labor in the last months?
Evening Primrose Oil and Red Raspberry Leaf Tea
Neither will actually induce labor. While some lay midwives will argue that statement about the Evening Primrose, which is the reason it is not recommended until 36 weeks or "full term", almost all sources with experience agree that it does nothing that the body was not ready to do on its own. I will repeat this at the end of this section, to make sure you understand this, as there is a lot of confusion and misconception surrounding these two substances.
Evening primrose oil is an excellent source of prostaglandins, which we already determined readies your cervix for labor. It can be taken orally as soon as 34 weeks, and can be applied directly to the cervix at full term (36 weeks). The general recommendation is two 500mg
capsules per day until week 38, at which time you increase to 3-4 per day. The entire capsule can be inserted vaginally (inserted just before bed, it will dissolve before the first time you wake to use the bathroom), or you can use the oil on your fingers for your perineal massage, then also rub on your cervix (assuming you can reach it). Applying directly to the cervix is optimal, but the beneficial ingredients are absorbed through the external skin or the stomach also.
Red raspberry leaf tea is a uterine tonic used by Native Americans for thousands of years. It tones your uterus by helping to "focus" your Braxton Hicks contractions. Think of its job as helping your uterus do more effective exercising while you are pregnant. It does not "cause" contractions and can be safely used throughout pregnancy. It is contraindicated for those having complications "just in case", however, by most doctors who do not understand its use. Many women safely use it from the moment they learn they are pregnant at six weeks until months after delivery. (It helps to tone the uterus after delivery as well, shrinking it back to size more quickly and reducing bleeding.)
Again, neither of these actually causes labor to start!

Has anyone used evening primrose oil after they have started to dilate but?
obviously before thier water broke. I am 38 weeks 1 cm dilated and 50% effaced. My doc is talking induction so I was wondering who here have used evening primrose oil and had success with it
Thanks
Has anyone used evening primrose oil after they have started to dilate but?
I have never used it so I probably shouldn't be answering this one , but I wanted to warn you . My midwife told me that Evening Primrose CAN possibly cause internal tearing of the cervix unless you are a first time mother.That may be something you would want to check into. Congratulations on your upcoming birth experience!

Did anyone use evening primrose oil and did it work for you?
did you take it orally or vaginally, and does it cause contractions or just soften the cervix? Thank you.
Did anyone use evening primrose oil and did it work for you?
I'm taking it orally currently cuz I'm only 35 weeks along, bt I plan to use it vaginally at 38 weeks. I haven't noticed anything except it gives me alot of pressure in my sinus area. It does not cause contractions, it contains prostaglandins which soften the cervix. Good luck!

Does taking evening primrose oil and robitussin interacts with the effectivity of follistim injectibles?
hi..i just want to know if taking this EPO and Robitussin affects or counteract the effectivity of follistim injectibles ( an injectible fertility med)....I read that EPO and robistussin help to improve EWCM to those women who are ttc and have dryness during baby dancing and to those women who poorly make EWCM-%26gt; this helps in the aid of sperm to swim towards the cervix..thanks!
Does taking evening primrose oil and robitussin interacts with the effectivity of follistim injectibles?
Hello,
I used robitusson while I was on Repronex (an injectible med as well). If you choose to use Robitussin, make sure you use the one with no letter after it. The main active ingredient needs to be guaifenesin.
I used it starting CD5, 2 teaspoons a day, until start of period. I produced plenty of EWCM while using it.
Good luck!
Reply:I don't know about these meds or any contraindications with the shot you're having, but I do know that keeping really well hydrated can naturally increase your CM.
Isotonic (sports) drinks are especially good at this (and you can guarantee that Gatorade won't affect your shots!!!)
Or you could try PreSeed.
Reply:I don't know too much about fertility drugs, but i am aware that Evening primrose Oil prepares the cervix for *labor* and is associated with inducing labor, and is thought to contain a substance that acts as a precursor to prostaglandis.
...Might not help you conceive....
