Hi Girls,

Can't find anything about the above on here so thought I would ask. I take one a day high strength Evening Primrose Oil capsules every day as I get pretty bad PMT!!! :evil: . Just not sure whether I should stop taking these on the run up to my BA?

Thanks guys Give You

I think evening primrose oil may act as a blood thinner - I've put a link below. Also the supplement probably has vitamin E in it as well (the Boots one I took used to), which you are supposed to avoid two weeks before. Vitamin E supplements and aspirin help to thin the blood, which could cause excessive bleeding in surgery.

To be on the safe side, I would phone your clinic and check xx

Hi Gemma

I would ring clinic too as Sam suggested, it is best to follow their advice ...I would request they send you all pre and post-op advice and care management to follow. It eases the stress and enables you to enjoy the whole process. Good Luck Hug
