Default can you take maca and EPO?

Just wondering if you can take Maca and EPO {evening Primrose Oil] at the same time. I have no cervical mucus, well unless it's way up there, cuz I never see any, not a drop. I've read that both can help with this, just not sure if they can both be taken. Anyone do this? Any luck?

We just had our first IVF and I ended up with a chemical pregnancy. I'm thinking of maybe taking a break from AC and try the old fashioned way. I honestly think that I haven't been able to get pregnant naturally is because of the lack of CM. When I got pg with my dd I always had it, after giving birth it was completely gone!

Default Re: can you take maca and EPO?

Have you tried a vitamin A supplement? I read in Taking Charge of Your Fertility that Vitamin A helps in mucus production. I take 5000 IU a day (my prenatal has no Vitamin A - I believe the upper limit is 12000 IU to avoid toxicity). I've noticed a big difference - and fairly quickly. Last cycle I took it sporadically and noticed that my fluid wasn't as plentiful. It really makes a difference for me.
