So I weaned off both the EPO and green tea for a while and thought I would try the EPO again this cycle because I am still not having much EWCM..MISTAKE, I never ovulated and now my AF is 5 days late...I will definitely drop the EPO for good but I am wondering if anyone has any other input? It is unlike me to have irregular cycles prior to swaying. Could this be a sign of fertility problems or early menopause? I am 37.
Oh, and I am NOT pregnant - 2 negative pregnancy tests yesterday.
Thanks!
You're not in early menopause, that is not how menopause works - you don't just wake up one month and are having menopause, it gradually sets in over many years, even a decade!
ARe you taking anything else like RJBP or green tea???
I am not taking Green Tea or RJBP....I am seeing my endocrinologist on Thursday. Wondering if I should ask about having my hormone levels checked? Any thoughts? Maybe I should just stop freaking out and let things get back to normal without the EPO? Feel free to be blunt!
What else are you taking?
I think it's a result of the EPO this month and will fix itself but if talking to the doc will give you peace of mind, maybe they will be able to shed more light on what is going on.
Folic Acid 400 mcg 5 times a day
Mucinex twice a day (from AF to O)
Women's One a Day once a day
Probiotic once a day
Co Q 10 100 mg once a day
Fish Oil 1000 mg once a day
Brewer's Yeast supplement - once per day
Also following the diet, and taking plain gelatin once/day
Let's try dropping gelatin and BY and going to every other day on the fish oil.
Should I try just dropping the EPO this cycle to see what difference that makes or should I drop all at once? And AF started today BTW
What does EPO stand for? This also happened to me ovulated 7 days after my period stopped, which I was shocked, was only taking prenatal vitamins at the time. Then my period lasted 6 days which is the longest it's ever lasted usually only lasts 4 days. This is all new to me. has me so confused!
EPO stands for Evening Primrose Oil. Apparently, it can mess up your cycle if you are sensitive to it! Best of luck with your sway!
Really, Ive never taken that and my cycle still messed up, this is my 7th day of still spotting.Quote:
