Has anyone tried it? And has it worked for you?

[NinnaMe]

thanks I'm trying to do everything possible. I went to the doctor today and was told I was only 1cm :( .... I'm not trying to make it to the 26th. Because I'm so little my ribs & back stay hurting

I feel you I'm only 31 weeks :( so I'm waiting a few more weeks til I start taking em again baby #4. Do as much walking as possible as well I use to walk back and forth in my room for 30 minutes at a time, especially during contractions and squats :)

I've been taking them since about 37 weeks and I was doing two vaginaly, never tried them oraly. I get a lot of Braxton Hicks but that's it, I just tried upping the dose lastnite to 3 by insertion. I guess I will try to take them oraly also, I'm just ready to get it over with!!! I'm so miserable

[Jimenez5]

Yes I started a lil after 37 week and was 1 cm. I had my son 10 days early and a quick 6 hr labor

[lucyloop77]

3 orally daily and 2 vaginally daily

[NinnaMe]

Did the 3 orally help for you??

[Jimenez5]

I took 3 orally a day, I never tried it vaginally.

[NinnaMe]

please help me then lol because I'm 38&2 and I'm miserable!!! So uncomfortable and in pain... How many did you take orally and how many were you taking by inserting?? My tablets are 1,000mg so I'm not sure if I'm taking a high enough dosage or not.

[lucyloop77]

It helped me dilate inserted vaginally and orally

Was taking EPO for one week vaginally and orally and my water broke. I would say it worked for me in every way, I was only dilated to a 1 when I started taking it, than next appointment i was 4cm. & I didn't have any tearing when I had my daughter. & I delivered at 37 weeks.

I'm 8 days pasted my due date and my midwife recommended primrose but it has done nothing for me.

[Hendry1187]

I took it. I think my doctor had me take it 32 weeks I took a little bit higher dose because thats all I could find But it didn't work for me. I was induced at one day shy of 41 weeks.

[NinnaMe]

Yes. I've been taking EPO for about two to three weeks now. I take 2 1,000mg capsules by insertion at night. On my first week of taking them my doctor told me that I had thinned out good but I wasn't dilated any. I go back on Monday to be checked, hopefully I've dilated some. I'm 38 weeks & beyond ready to meet my prince
