I found it at Kroger. It came in these little gel capsule type of things. I took 2-3 by mouth, 2-4 times a day from about 37 weeks until Collin was born at 39 weeks 2 days. When they checked me at OB triage, I was 5-6 cm.
Probably not solely due to the EPO but I think it helped.

There seem to be two schools of thought on this. One beingfairly conservative: start at term, and not before. The other being, EPO isn't going to induce you, and it's an essential nutrient that can be taken throughout pregnancy.

I use Barlean's EPO, found in the refridgerated section at our local HFS. I didn't want to risk taking rancid oils. It costs a lot more, and it's very possible that it's overkill. But I am mostly concerned about the EFAs to treat my depression, so I want to know I'm taking quality stuff. I did buy the cheaper stuff from Longs for vaginal use.
