Evening Primrose Oil (Female Infertility)

Evening Primrose Oil (or EPO) supports the production of more fertile quality cervical fluid also known as “egg white cervical mucus”. This type of cervical fluid is fertile, thin​​ clear, and stretchy. It aids the sperm to swim through the uterus, into the fallopian tube, and to the egg. It also helps the sperm to stay alive for up to five days inside the fallopian tube, thus enabling conception to happen even if the couple doesn’t have intercourse again by the time ovulation occurs.

DOSE: Soft gel two to three times per day with meals.

If cervical fluid is thick, brown, or lacking, this can obstruct or prevent fertilization. Some women are very dry, and have problems producing an adequate amount of fertile quality cervical fluid. Drinking plenty of water and taking EPO can help promote the
production of fertile cervical fluid. EPO should only be taken from menstruation to ovulation because it can cause uterine contractions during pregnancy. Since essential​​ fatty acids are necessary during this time, Flax Seed Oil may be taken in place of EPO
after ovulation. Flax Seed Oil may be taken throughout pregnancy as well
