Geritol

in Trying to Get Pregnant

Anyone heard of this multivitamin as an aid for TTC?  My manicurist mentioned it to me last night, and I looked around online and on different forums and it has been called 'baby in a bottle'.  Supposedly it is an 'old' recommendation that was popular in the 1980's.

 

Anyone have any thoughts or experience?

    I was told by an older family friend that I need to take it and by the time I finish the bottle she guaranteed I would be pregnant.  I just gave her the side eye and thanked her for her advice.  I have yet to take a single Geritol.

    Supposedly it's the 'tonic' or liquid form, not the pill...speculation is that increased iron stores aid in fertility.  I haven't checked the specific ingredients of it.

    just wondering if anyone has ever heard of it.

    I wonder if you morph into one of the Golden Girls if you take Geritol.

    i've heard about this. one of my best friends and a friend of her both swear by it. they go to the same OBGYN and he/she had both of them take it to help them get pregnant.

    my friend and her husband both took it and the next month, she was pregnant. they took it twice a day. i believe a tablespoon in the morning and another tablespoon at night.

    im going to give it a shot to see if it works!!

    Question - are you KU and asking this? If so, you may want to discuss with your OB before taking anything.

    Psst... PP drug up a 2 month old post, so at the time OP asked, she wasn't pregnant yet.

    ugh.. didn't even look at the dates.

    guess it worked? ha!
