I'm really not qualified to answer this, so take what I say with a grain of salt. ;>)
I *did* do castor oil (it was one of my last ditch efforts), and it gives you, ahem, violent bms. I'm not sure how blue and black cohosh work, but if they need to be absorbed to work properly, I'd take them *before* the castor oil, or your body won't have a chance at absorbing them, if you get my drift.
I was 2 1/2 weeks late before ds arrived... I did everything to get labor started, started with the easiest/most pleasant and working my way up (vigorous exercise, squatting/pelvic tilts, accupressure points, yoga, sex, spicy food, evening primrose oil, accupuncture, Chinese herbs, then castor oil). I feel for you, because I've been there...
