Remind me again: EPO and Red Raspberry Leaf Tea

I know this has been posted before, so thank you for repeating yourself.  How much EPO did you/are you going to use?  Did you use orally or vaginally?  I am assuming the tea is just once a day, right?  My midwife said to start this at 35 weeks and I will call and ask her what she recommends, but wanted to get your thoughts as well.

    My midwives no longer recommend EPO...I'd started taking 2 capsules orally at 36 weeks but stopped once I heard. I drink three cups of RRLT daily, and started at 36 weeks.

    Here's what I did...

    RRL: 1 cup/day during the first and second trimester.  2-3 cups a day starting during the second trimester.  2 cups a day PP.

    EPO: 500mg orally at 36 weeks, 1000mg orally at 37 weeks, 1000mg orally and 500mg vaginally at 38, 3 days.  My baby was born at 38 weeks, 5 days.  My water broke the second night I used EPO vagially.

    I’m a modern man, a man for the millennium. Digital and smoke free. A diversified multi-cultural, post-modern deconstruction that is anatomically and ecologically incorrect. I’ve been up linked and downloaded, I’ve been inputted and outsourced, I know the upside of downsizing, I know the downside of upgrading. I’m a high-tech low-life. A cutting edge, state-of-the-art bi-coastal multi-tasker and I can give you a gigabyte in a nanosecond! I’m new wave, but I’m old school and my inner child is outward bound. I’m a hot-wired, heat seeking, warm-hearted cool customer, voice activated and bio-degradable. I interface with my database, my database is in cyberspace, so I’m interactive, I’m hyperactive and from time to time I’m radioactive.

    May I ask, What was their reason for not recommending it?
