[Mrs. Kim]

Good luck to all you ladies and Congrats to the ladies who got their BFP. I've been taking my pills and I hope they work for me.

I have been taking the pills for a little over a month, but I think I am going to switch to the Geritol Tonic with folic acid today though because my AF was 1/16-1/21.Dh and I bd everyday since. AF was not due again until 2/10, and I was hoping to test on 2/14.Well last night I had some brown spotting and I started to get excited since it was 6 days after OV hoping it may be implantation bleeding.However, this morning it was heavier with some clot like particles.I have never had AF be over a week early.I dont know what to think. Has anyone else experienced this?

Either you ovulated early or not at all. Do you temp? I find that the only way to tell if you O or not.

I have not tried temping yet, but I plan on trying it as well as using OPKs next cycle.

I took Geritol this month (capsules) and my AF was TWO WEEKS LATE!!!! I have always had regular cycles!!! So, it really messed with my head. I will be switching to prenatal vitamins for next month.

**I don't think Geritol had to do with my late period, but it is a random coincidence!!! So, in summary, NO BABY IN MY BOTTLE

I started taking the tonic along with my folic acid this cycle. I'm also on clomid. Anyone else out there hoping there is a baby in a bottle with that nasty tasting crap?!!!

Hi, I'm new to this thread and wanted to put my input in about geritol & pregnancy. First of all, I want to give God all the glory for blessing me with this pregnancy. Miscarried 3x's in the past and about 3weeks ago, thought I had miscarried again, but God was & is in control. I'm almost 11weeks pregnant... January 2012 I used clomid along with IUI that didn't work. So February, the day AFTER my cycle ended, I started taking geritol liquid 2x's a day for 2 days, then 1x a day until the day AFTER I got a positive OPK(I was taking prenatal, Folic acid, and more vitamins while taking geritol). In January I got a positive OPK 8 days after my last clomid. February I got a positive 2 days after my last clomid.... IT'S IMPORTANT TO USE A OPK(OVULATION PREDICTION KIT/TEST) WHILE TAKING GERITOL BECAUSE YOU COULD OVULATE EARLIER OR LATER. Along with the geritol, clomid, & IUI, I used a turkey baister & cup one night to be sure the sperm gets to the place it needs to be. 12 days after my February IUI, I got a POSITIVE home pregnancy test. All the glory goes to God, but I think using the geritol this time helped. I also told a lady about it at church, and told her everything I did and she took notes and just got her POSITIVE home pregnancy test on Saturday, April 14th. God is so good!! I think the the liquid form of geritol is better because it gets in your bloodstream faster. Also, taking after the last day of your cycle, up through the time you get a positive ovulation test.... Then baby dance for the next few days(I reclined completely, on an inversion table for 15 minutes after using the turkey baister method).

The Canadian version seems to be called Maltlevol and they sell it at most pharmacies in the vitamin section. Look at the pictures on google.

I also tried it and did NOT get a baby in my bottle. My period was 2 days late because of which never happens so I went back to prenatals

Im confused whether or not i should try it! Your stories are all so encouraging, but its slightly discouraging when i see it delays AF at times...i already got a slight 3 day delay this month by taking my Prenatal pills everyday. Very curious, but skeptical! Help ease my mind, im on CD2 now, wondering if i should go buy the pills(I already made the decision if i do take them, ill use the pill form! Cant stomach that liquid crap) Lemme know if you think its worth a try...i wonder whats in it that makes it have so effective on fertility in women, cuz i heard prenatals and Geritol are similar, prenatals has more vitamins. If so, which is better!?

 

[summerlove101]

Once I get my AF again I am going to try the Geritol Complete. I figure its worth a shot! Going to pick up some folic acid to take with it.

Well, when I used the geritol complete pills I had a delayed AF... by a few weeks. And I am extremely normal. The month after I used it, I stopped and that was the month I got pregnant. I am not telling you NOT to use it, maybe it's worth a try!?!?!? But I think when you make a large change to your body (like taking a new pill every day) your body might react in a way that won't help you get pregnant. Please don't take my word for it, because it's just what I think but by no means based on research or anything.

They claim that the geritol helps women get pregnant because of all of the good vitamins - so, why not just use your prenatal???

BUT then again, I was desperate enough to try it too because when we are TTC we will do anything... and you don't want to look back and wish you at least tried it for one cycle!!! So, why not give it a try???

Hahaha, now that I read my post I have decided I gave you two different answers: don't use it and try it!!!

Either way, good luck!!!!

Hello ladies, here is my story...Me and my OH have been together for 4 years now. In Nov 2010 i started depo(the bc shot) and I took only one shot. Jan 2011 I did not go back for my shot and started getting irregular cycles with random bleeding. Feb 2011 I got on bcp to help get my body on track. I then decided to stop those April 2011 and to let my body regulate on its own. Then came Nov 2011 my cycles were starting to come around a regular time, but then Decemeber i started to notice that some months my cycle would not come. I thought I was unable to have kids simply because of how long we had been together and it not happening, but then again I was 15 and he was 17 when we started dating. To sum this up...we started ttc in Feb 2012 and in April 2012 I got my period on the 8th and started taking Geritol Complete(not liquid). I took it for 2 weeks, but I too was skeptical of the slogan "a baby in every bottle". May 7th 2012 I was going to start EPO,but decided to take a hpt just in case. I figured it was going to negative until i looked over saw two pink lines. I went to the doctor to confirm I was 4 weeks and 1 day. I believe after the bc and believing I could not bare kids Geritol is what gave us our miracle.The online calculators say I had conceived on April 22nd. I say give it a try ladies


My result of geritol:
