EPO, where did you go?? (TMI a little)

I'd read pps from people who have taken EPO internally and said that it was a sticky, awful mess when they woke up. I put on a pad just in case but it's totally dry and I didn't notice anything leaking out, just more bloody show when I got up to use the bathroom. I'm glad it wasn't a mess, but now I'm wondering, did it just dissolve nicely and stay in until I had to pee, or are the capsules still in there? Haha!

Up until now I was only taking it orally but I'm using it internally now because I'm being induced tomorrow and my cervix was only 2cm yesterday. I really don't want a foley bulb and I'm upset because I really wanted a natural med-free birth. I'm also wondering if anyone has advice... should I use EPO tonight if I have to go in to L&D tomorrow at 8am, or not so that it's more 'clean' when they start their work?

Mine doesn't make a mess either, so you're not alone! I can, however, see the oil in the toilet when I pee, so I know it's dissolving. As for using it tonight... I probably won't the night before my next appointment on Monday. FWIW - but I don't think it matters.
