Any ladies TTC while having...?

[AngelWings21]

Hi ladies! I was wondering if any of you ladies TTC here have PCOS? I do and it has caused a lot of weight gain along with irregular cycles. Doctor put me on birth control (OrthoMicro Nor or Camila) last month to try and regulate my periods at the moment I am fine with being on bcp's till my boyfriend comes home in August. So I have a couple of ?'s: How soon should I go off of bcp's before my bf comes home? Have any of used you Geritol (a multivitamin) to help concieve? I have read A LOT of reviews on this and this pill REALLY seems to help. Anyways, thanks for listening and replying! :smile:

Just wanted to give you some

Sorry I don't have any of the answers you're seeking.
I am TTC with PCOS though, and can relate to that.
I've not been able to take BC due to an allergic reation to them,
and I've never heard of Geritol, but will be interested to learn more!

Thanks for your reply thought no one ever would lol. Um I am WWT but how long have u been TTC? If you google "Geritol and Pregnancy" it has a lot of info on it. It's a vitamin that contains A LOT of stuff in it. Some women swear by it cuz it only took them 1-3 months to get pregnant

Hi i'm suspected of having pcos. It's funny that you mention geritol. I don't have regular cycles. So in July of 08 I started taking geritol and in aug found out i was preggo. Prior to that i didn't have a cycle since 11/07. Sadly i miscarried in oct. So in dec i started taking geritol again and nothing. I got disappointed and stop taking them. In Jan my dr put me on clomid which 1st cycle bfp but a blighted ovum. Every cycle since i've been ovulating between cd27 and cd34. I started taking geritol again and last month i ovulated on cd19 which was a first but then i noticed that i had no cm. So i ordered preseed and started using it this cycle hoping for a bfp

Your welcome!
We've only been *serious* about TTC for a couple of months, but stoped using protection in Nov 09. I did however, start taking a Pre-Natal vitamin about 2yrs ago. I took me forever to find just the right one that didn't upset my stomach. (Twinlab Pre-natal Care Multi-Vitamin Caps)

After doing a little research/comparison it appears to be a multi-vitamin for men and women.... I'm somewhat leery of those, as men and women’s bodies are so different. You should also note I didn't see Folic Acid listed in geritol, and a lot of the other nutrients listed in geritol are substantially lower than the average pre-natal vitamins on the market. I would presume it is still however, better than taking nothing at all

Best of luck to you hun & let us know how you get on.

Yea I have heard that the multi-vitamin is for men and women so idk. They say you're supposed to take it and a Folic Acid pill at the same time so idk guess I'll find out tho...

Hello ladies!! I know im super late but 'm just now hearing of this Geritol! so I started a week ago... and i started my cycle 4 days after I started.. which with PCOS you all know that a cycle is hard to come by. ! So I'm excited ... i don't see any updates... are there any?

 

[AngelWings21]

Hi. Just realized this was an updated response. Um I have no updates. Never got a BFP and I left my bf so TTC is on hold for right now even though I desperately want another baby! I've been wanting another baby for about 2-3 years now and I'm scared that it'll never happen. What about you? How long have you had PCOS? What were your signs/symptoms? How long have you been TTC? Would this be your 1st? How old are you?
