It's unpredictable. My docs are worried that the gel would overstimulate my uterus and perhaps cause a rupture. The other methods are more controllable.

I plan to try EPO beginning at 36 weeks. Both orally and vaginally. At the same time I will get really close to my hubby every night for those natural prostiglandins :o). But if all this doesn't tip me over, I see my OB at 38 weeks and she's willing to strip my membranes at that time.

It's getting close, I'm 33 weeks now.
