Another EPO question...

[lwuertz]

So I'm not in a terrible hurry to have this baby, but I've been thinking about taking EPO.

If I take one 1300mg capsule a day orally, it's not going to send me into labor immediately, right? Just going to help things soften up?

Nope, it won't do anything your body's not already going to do--it just helps things out a bit.

Lisa - it won't hurt you at all or send you into labor - it just softens up your cervix.

My dosage was 1300mg once daily at 36 weeks, 1300mg twice daily at 37 weeks and then 1300mg three times daily at 38 weeks. That resulted (?) in me being 50% effaced at my appointment at 38w2d.

Thanks! I took one this morning, but it made me a little sick to my stomach. So I don't know if I want to do it again.
