Hi and welcome!

EPO should be taken only Af->O. It is supposed to make more EWCM and make it alkaline.
However it can mess up your cycle if you have regular ones. Try and see if it works for you, if not, just drop it.
EPO moved my O date and did nothing for my CM so I've stopped taking it. I believe there are positive experiences about EPO as well.

thanx for reply...my cycles are very regular as 28 days per month...i think i should replace it with fish oil...to avoid any side effect? have any of u tried that?please share your experience...

Sure thing, I'm taking 1000 mg Fish Oil capsules a day and no side effects
Have you considered green tea? It's good for overall fertility, sways adn makes more CM. You can drink it ( but no more than 3 cups a day, I'm taking 1-2 cups a day because it blocks resorption of Folic Acid (FA) so make sure you are taking 2000 mcg of FA daily and NOT with green tea, preferably spaced throughout the day) or take it in the form of capsules.

Prenatals are also good idea for boy sway

[Zivic-Bubac]

Fish Oil you can take all the time, not just until O.

i replied on another thread you posted re: fish oil ... look for mercury free. should be able to find many brands at target (if you're in usa) or other drugstores. i took nature made brand.

It's interesting how everyone is different ... EPO didn't change my cycle dates at all, but definitely upped my CM more than fish oil alone did. L'arg definitely messed with my cycle so I quit that.
