Evening Primrose Oil
Hi
I'm taking evening primrose oil (only just started), and I now have cramps - lower abdomen. I've read that you shouldnt take EPO after ovulation, for incase you conceived because it causes uteral cramps - could the cramps I'm having be because of this.
Do you think EPO is a good supplement to take?
Thank you.

If the package insert says that you should not take Evening primrose oil after ovualtion then you should probably avoid it at that time. You ask if it is a good supplement to take. It depends what you are taking it for.
