Coincidence? Evening Primrose Oil & Leaky Nipples

This is kind of a weird question, I'm wondering if anyone else experienced this or if it was a total coincidence...

I bought EPO yesterday and soon after I took the first dose, a 500mg capsule, I noticed my right nipple leaking colostrum for the first time in my pregnancy. (I'm 38 weeks today). It stopped after a while and that didn't happen again all day.

In the evening I took a second dose and almost immediately afterward noticed that my nipple was leaking again, but not nearly as much as the first time. Just a few tiny drops and then it was done.

I haven't taken any today and there has been absolutely no leaking. I just thought this seemed very strange, but I can't find any websites or anything online linking the two so maybe it's just coincidental. Anyone else?

    You know what's interesting, I think I have the opposite problem.  I had been leaking for several weeks, started taking EPO last week and have seen a decrease in colostrum leaks...weird.

    When I started taking it, I noticed a slight decrease in my colostrum leakage, but was so distracted by how itchy my vag suddenly was, I didn't really care, lol! I say it's a great thing that you're starting to produce, though, if you want to breastfeed afterwards...
