Can 'eve Primrose Oil' Tablets Cause Difficulty In Getting Pregnant?
Eve primrose oil and getting pregnant
Im 36 and trying to get pregnant for the first time. I get sore breasts each month like a week before my period begins, then it eases off completely after my period starts. Previously I was advised by doc to take evening primrose oil tablets which proved to help but now I am not sure if it will not harm fetus in early pregnancy or has effect on getting pregnant at all?
Thanks
Nina

Hi there is no effect of evening primrose oil on getting pregnant. But it's better to stop using it when you get pregnant because it can make your cervix ripe and can induce labour.
