how are you using EPO?

Howdy.
I am 37 weeks and have been taking evening primrose oil orally for a couple of weeks now, at first one a day and now two a day (one in am and one in pm). I was thinking about using it vaginally as well. Is there a maximum amount? Should I use it vaginally once a day? twice? And do you puncture the capsules before you insert them? Give me your EPO thoughts, please!

There's a thread in the April Due Date club on this. I decided how much I'd take based on what seemed to be most commonly done and the amount the bottle I got suggested.

I do twice daily orally and twice daily vaginally and no, I don't pierce it. Have only been using it about 1 week.

I ingest 2 1,300 mg capsules orally and insert 2 capsules vaginally every night. Wear a pad! It's a little messy.

My MWs advised taking 3 orally and inserting 3 vaginally, but I can't seem to remember to take it at lunch and 2 is messy enough as it is!
