    EPO= Evening Primrose Oil

    I just googled it because I was curious as well but I don't know what it does or about the green tea. I'm interested in what others say as well.

    Both green tea and EPO are supposed to help increase the amount and quality of EWCM.  EPO should be taken only from AF to ovulation (same with green tea). Green tea can inhibit folic acid intake, so prenatals shouldn't be taken within four hours of drinking green tea. 

    I took EPO regularly for a few months and it helped a little bit, I think.  I never had much CM and rarely if ever got EWCM, so I used PreSeed as well (I had no EWCM my BFP cycle, but somehow something worked).  I tried green tea off an on, but it was hard to time its consumption with taking prenatals. 

    I've heard that many have had great success with either or both of these, though.

    I am currently using both, as I haven't really seen any EWCM since I got off BCP's in August.

    I take my EPO three times a day and green tea one to two times a day.

    I have read it can take awhile for EPO to work. The tabs I bought are only 500mg and the reccomended dose is 3,000mg/day.
