If you have issues with personal lubricant and fertility, if you need help because your body doesn't produce enough fertile quality cervical fluid then evening primrose oil might be the answer.
EPO contains an essential fatty acid that has gamma linolenic acid
(GLA). This acid is converted to a hormone substance called prostaglandin EI which has anti-inflammatory
properties. It can act as a blood thinner and a blood vessel dilator. The anti-inflammatory properties
help people suffering from rheumatoid arthritis. For the purpose of this article we are going to
discuss how it aids in fertility.
A woman who suffers from PMS is deficient in the fatty acid
that is contained in EPO. This is why taking EPO helps to alleviate PMS.
Most importantly EPO
helps the body by helping the production of
fertile quality cervical fluid
– the egg-white type. This fluid is thin, watery, clear and will stretch to allow sperm to easily
swim through it to the fallopian tubes and to the egg. If there is a lack of this type of cervical
fluid, it can cause minor infertility by impeding or preventing fertilization.
One
problem that affects personal lubricant and fertility is that some women are very dry and have
problems producing an adequate amount of fertility quality cervical fluid. Drink a lot of water
in conjunction with taking EPO can aid in the production of fertile cervical fluid. This type
of fluid is what keeps the sperm alive for up to 5 days in the fallopian tube. This enables
conception to happen even if you can't have intercourse on the day of ovulation - as long as
you had it the couple of days prior.
One word of caution - always seek the advice of
your healthcare provider before starting any new supplement. If you are trying to conceive
you should only take EPO from menstruation till you ovulate. This is because EPO is a
prostaglandin and can cause the uterus to contract and the cervix to dilate. The dosage
should be from 1500 mg to 3000 mg per day.
Once you ovulate you can replace it with
Flax Seed Oil which also contains essential fatty acids without the prostaglandins.
EPO is an
excellent way of producing more personal lubricant and fertility naturally. Its side benefits are the
icing on the cake - the alleviation of PMS and the lowering of the bad cholesterols. Even menopausal women
benefit from taking EPO. Give this a month or two to help your body to produce the results you want.
And, as always, chart your fertility signs so you can pinpoint ovulation and know when to stop
taking the EPO. Charting your fertility signs is the best tool to determine where you are in your
cycle.
