How much EPO are you taking? (No debate, please!)

Mine are 1000 mg, I just upped it from 1 pill a day to 2 pills a day a couple of days ago. Taking orally.

Mine are 500 mg too. I started taking them at 34 weeks upon my MW's recommendation. Started 3 tabs once a day, then at 37 weeks upped it to 3 tabs twice a day.

Dumb question, but what does the EPO help with?

Thanks!

Thanks, Renee!

It varies, depending on how much I think about it...

I have 1000 mg capsules, and I'm taking 2-3 on an average day. Some days I just forget!

I only use one vaginally if DH is not up to the task of providing prostaglandins the fun way.

I've never heard of this. Is it something I should be aware of?

I started at 36 with 1500 mg/day orally. At 37 went to 2000 mg/day, but only because I forgot to take the 3rd dose....for the past few days have been taking 2000 mg/day.

I really hope it works. My OB (who is not against natural remedies--he was 1000% in favor of using castor oil for a slow labor with my first) recommends against things like black and blue cohosh because of uterine rupture risks. Considering I am trying to VBAC I don't want to put myself behind the 8-ball to start.

As of a week ago my cervix was shut up like Fort Knox. Hopefully things will be different on Wednesday when I get checked again.
