Geritol and Pregnancy

[ES89]

I sometimes spot for for a few days without cramps but like Powell said test
Sorry af got you egg0 I don't think I'm far behind you, I've woken up cramping this morning, nothing in my pants but when I checked my cm it was watery brown so she's coming

sorry if the does show.

I am so tired of her coming every month. She seriously needs to take a leave of absents for 9 months!

Yup I feel exactly the same! She's not here full force yet but she will, she always does x

The easiest way to tolerate the tonic is to chase it with something stronger. I used either Robitussin or grapefruit juice

I got two more bottle of the tonic...since they don't last long...Powell do you still take the tonic..or did the doctor say no cuz it contains alcohol?

I haven't taken the tonic since the day before my BFP

Okay. My specialist has never heard of taking the tonic or gertiol in place of prenatals...I don't think ill continue to use it when I get a bfp...

You're supposed to switch to prenatals either after O or at BFP. I continued with the tonic until BFP because I wasn't 100% confident in FF with my O date. But according to measurements and stuff, it's pretty close

Yeah I haven't been ovulating so I guess I'm okay taking it...hopefully ill start ovulating this next cycle...I hope I hope I hope. The hospital near me offers prenatals for free. Which is really nice.

Have you thought about trying Soy to help you ovulate? I took them for the first time as well as geritol & got lucky the first time! Yeah that is really nice. Mine are only about $15 a month (30 pack) I use the One A Day Prenatal multivitamin with a DHA/EPA gel cap

Soy Isoflavones. It's used like a natural clomid in the first few days of your cycle to induce ovulation. It's definitely worth trying if you don't O regularly.

Here's the thread that inspired me to try it - https://babyandbump.momtastic.com/trying-conceive-1/976887-soy-isoflavones.html

Yep, I immediately chased it with grapefruit juice. Burping it up later I think is worse... Sorry TMI! I hope the liquid is what gets me my BFP!
