I am not sure if this is the right place to post this but I am willing to give it a try...

Those taking Evening primrose oil...

When are you starting?

Vaginally, orally, both?

How much?

    For most women it's safe to begin taking it orally at any point during the third trimester.  It's best to not start vaginal use until 36-37 weeks.  If you're planning to do both usually you would start with one capsule and gradually increase up to three capsules twice daily, orally in the morning and vaginally at night before bed.

    I only took it orally, and I started around 33 weeks or so.

    Same here.  

    I tried it once vaginally, but it made me feel kind of itchy, so I stopped doing that.
