My friend took evening primrose oil orally and did vaginal insert also. She had her baby 2 days later. Anyone that has tried this how many mg did you take there are 500 mg and 1000mg. Did you insert it vaginally also?

Then with my 2nd I would insert one vaginally at night and it didn't do anything for me. This time I will be taking 2 orally and one vaginally to see if it helps this time.

marie01234 - 345 days ago Thanks mamagris any info is helpful. From what I have read it does not induce labor but it does soften and dilate the cervix if you are ready.... only if your ready. I wonder should I insert just one vaginally? Maybe I could use it as a lube before sex?

mamagris - 345 days ago Rating: 0 (0 votes) There is primrose oil in my prenatal vitamin..It is a great supplement during pregnancy and I understand that increasing the volume can help induce labor, I tried with my first to drink tea (3 cups a day) plus a supplement. I don't remember the exact dosaging so if I were you I would seek out a herbal professional in your area, usually a chiropractor or an acupunturist has a background in this. I had used the advice of my acupunturist for this and it didn't help with getting me into labor-so everyone is different. Good luck hope this helps a little.
