if you used/are using EPO or RRL tea...

When did you start using them and how much? Did you increase the amounts as you got closer to your due date? TIA

I started late in the game, but I drink about 3 cups/day.  iced with lemon is quite tasty!

I started using EPO really early.  The reason for my c/s was that I never dilated past 1cm.  So I don't know if that had anything to do with my mw giving me the go ahead earlier...

She told me I could start between 32-34 weeks.  I started at 33.  One capsule, vaginally, at night.  I have increased it to one capsule vaginally at night, PLUS one orally in the AM, and one orally in the PM.

I started drinking RRL tea around the same time, but I don't drink it that much, just because I always forget to make tea.  The only time I remember is at night, and it makes baby really jumpy and makes me have to pee a million times.

I started EPO around 38 weeks. I took 2 pills 3x a day. I would occasionally insert 2 vaginally in the evenings before bed.

I have been drinking RRL tea since week 16. I drink a quart a day. Occasionally I forget, but I try to brew a huge batch, pour it into quart-size mason jars and put in fridge. I take one to work with me every day. I am undecided about EPO, though.
