I started evening primrose 1300mg capsules a few weeks ago, as i thought this may help with constipation around that time
I started them just before my period and things went rather well :D
I now have my period again a good week early but again had no constipation or that achey feeling :D and feel just great.........TOUCHWOOD :D
I would like to think the early period is just a brief hormone thing !!
Does anyone else take this ?

I take evening primrose. it is supposed to be very good for things like that. skin too. It is also supposed to help lube mucous membranes and encourage pregnancy....

Thanks for the reply :)
Eww.. i dont want to encourage pregnacy :):)
Can i ask what dosage you take Buttgirl ?

the lat thing I want is to get pregnant now either.....
I have been taking a lot for the past 6 mos or so. I take 3-4 1300mg pills. I have taken this for years, and began with 3 500mg pills a day. I really noticed a difference in my skin.

Thank you Buttgirl...
I was concerned i was taking too much but maybe i am not taking enough !!!
I may just up it to 2 capules a day esp around that time of the month !

The last thing I want is to get pregnant either!!!!

You know I tried borage oil and found that my cramps were worse at that time of the month. It must have had a negative effect on my hormone levels or increased them too much. But I might consider the Evening primrose oil now that you ladies have found it helpful. I get cramps that go back to my anus and it feels like I have landed on a pole or something.

Ooo i know those cramps :(
Do give it a try Lecia you have nothing to lose !
I have had no cramps this time round and no build up PMS either
Even my hubby agreed !!
Lecia is that yourself in your avator? i have seen it a few times and thought what a pretty girl :)
Hope everything is going OK for you

Hey Tabby, I think I will try the Primrose oil. My period starts in 2 weeks. So it sounds like I should maybe start next week then?

Yes, that is me. You are so sweet. I wish some of you other boardies would post your mugshots too!

Yes that sounds a perfect time to start
Goodluck, I do hope it works for you...
Lovely to see a face to the name Lecia

I took tablets called Premtis and they were wonderful, they stopped cramps and I didn't feel as stroppy as normal around that time! I had to take them about 2 months to feel the full benefit though!
