Hi! I'm also taking Geritol this cycle. We've been not trying, not preventing for 2 months and trying for 1 month and no luck. From what I've read, you should take one dose everyday until ovulation. We are close in our cycles, mine started Feb. 1. Good luck this month! Hope this yucky tasting stuff does the trick! Keep me posted on your journey!

How did ut go for you

Did either of you have any luck with the Geritol? I'm waiting for mine to arrive I bought both the liquid and the multi, as the liquid is only a b complex and iron, as the multi has all the vitamins you need. I plan on switching daily from multi to liquid. FX'd it does something. Im not sure why you should or would need to stop taking either of them after O though, as they are only vitamins....

Following... need the insight as well

 

[ambertwogood]

Well I'm also doing Femaprin- which is Vitex/B6 high dse, Black Cohosh, Folate, a Good B Complex, DIM - green super foods in a capsule, the Geritol and Ubiquinol this cycle. lol. Everything came in today but the geritol and ubiquinol, those should be here monday, so plenty of time to use for this cycle bc I usually O later in my cycle. We shall see what happens. Fx'd I'm anther "geritol" success story, bc their are literally thousands out there.

I see Amber has folate already, but make sure you take folic acid in some form as it does not have any.

I took geritolyour clomid cycle with ds and got pregnant first round. It was my first month also doing geritol so I really don't know if it helped or not.

 

[krissie328]

Amber- have you done black cohosh in the past? I'm going to try lydia pinkham next cycle and was curious. I did it in May and ovulated cd 12, stopped the pills and got a bfp. It ended as a chemical. I'm hoping this coming cycle for a sticky bean from it.

No, I've done the black cohosh before but I started reading studies about supp's and fertility research and it was one that had made a huge diff. between the two test groups so I figured it couldn't hurt. I accidently bought the huge dose ones of 540mg's and then realized that that was WAY too much and needed to buy the 40's and take 3 of those, as the study did 120mgs/day. You only do it for the first half of your cycle though. I'll go find the website I got my info from, bc their are other things on there, I just picked the ones that sounded most promising to me. What is lydia pinkham?

 

[ambertwogood]

https://sites.google.com/site/miscarriageresearch/how-to-boost-fertility Here is where I found links to most of the studies I read through, if anyone else is interested, it also has stuff for cycle studies done with medically assisted conception.

I took geritolyour clomid cycle with ds and got pregnant first round. It was my first month also doing geritol so I really don't know if it helped or not.

When you got your BFP was it the first cycle of clomid as well? I've heard/read a LOT f success stories with the geritol/folate combo. But it's mixed as to which they did with the geritol, bc there is a big difference in the liquid and the multi pill. The pill is a complete vitamin just high doses- which I've read that Rainbow Light has a comparable formula just with more of the stuff in it. And Rainbow light is a REALLY great company for vitamins, so I may look into theirs when the Geritol runs out, as RL is what I took when I was regnant last time and having growth issue's and month after starting the RL prenatals - not the one a days the one's you have to take 6 each day- LO had caught up and was ahead in growth so it was either a coincidence or the RL's had something to d with it.

 

[krissie328]

Yes, it was my first cycle on clomid and geritol.

RL sounds like a good vitamin. I've looked them up on Amazon and thought about ordering their prenatal. Six a day is a crazy amount though! Not sure if be able to keep up.

There was independent testing done on all the prenatals and the Rainbow light Complete was like number two on the list. They were testing the efficacy of the vitamins, as in how much of them were actually absorbed into your bloodstream and not just pee'd out, like a lot of vitamins are. I think part of the reason the 6 a day works better is bc your body will only absorb what you need when you need it, so taking them more often allows your body to get more of what it needs. If that makes sense.

 

[ambertwogood]

The one a day one's scored much, much lower on the list, which is why I went with the other's when I was pregnant. I wanted the best not the most convenient for me, as it was my first pregnancy and I went a little nutzo when it came to everything. I would still d the six a day this time around though, just bc after I started them, everything with my pregnancy gt better, my bloodwork, my placenta function, and babies growth, so I attribute that to the RL's as it was all I changed. I did do their DHA supp with them as well, but those I think are just one a day.

 

[krissie328]

Yes, it definitely makes sense. The lydia pinkham is 6 pills a day. I make sure to keep some in my desk at work incase I forget. So I guess I'd likely manage. I will definitely look into it soon.
