Icon5 questions about evening primrose oil

I just started taking EPO about a week ago. I have noticed that my temps are running a bit higher so far this cycle. Does anyone know if the 1000 mg of EPO would cause this?

Another thing that I was wondering, since they say it takes a couple of months to "build" the supplement in your system, once you do get the levels you should be getting to get the effect of the EPO wouldn't it still be there after you ovulate.....when you wouldn't want it, since it supposedly causes uterine contractions?

I'd appreciate any ideas/answers/input on this! Thanks!

You could be right. The month I took EPO my temps were higher as well.

Since EPO is an herb to increase estrogen, I would be really surprised if that is the cause of the highter temps. Higher temps are a progesterone thing. It would be interesting to find out though.
