Super Geritol???

in Trying to Get Pregnant
I am TTC.  I've heard from my mother in law that I should try taking Geritol.  Will this assist in my process?  Has anyone tried this or is trying this now?  Any success stories?  Please help!

    There are various womens on the internet who swear by it but I think if you take a good pre-natal vitamin, there's no need. Good luck :)

    Thanks!  Pre-natal vitamins may be safer, also.  Thanks!

    OK, my mom SWEARS by this. She tried for years and years to have me and then heard about geritol and had a BFP before the bottle was done. My cousin and 2 friends of my sisters have tried it too and it worked.

    The saying is "there is a baby in every bottle". IDK, I started taking it when I first started TTC and did get pregnant- however it could (and probably was) a coincidence. I will (just havent yet) get another bottle so so my mom can "be right" when ever I get my next one ;)

    What's the Geritol supposed to do? I've never heard of this before.

    NEVER heard of this, but just searched pregnancy charts on Fertility Friend with Geritol and there are lots of them.  I am skeptic, but at this point I'll try anything. My assss is picking up a bottle and softcups today.

    Didn't someone once post that there is a certain beer you are to drink one a day and you'll get pregnant? lol Seems like it has iron in it, like the Geritol, maybe there is something to it.

    Just when I thought I had tried everything. New Plan for this cycle. Stick out tongue

    AFAICT it's just a multi with iron. Don't bother Googling success stories. LOL All you'll find is "OMG my mom's cousin's ex-husband's dog-sitter's mail carrier swears by Geritol and she has 5 kids!" :)

    And the ones with mispellings, poor grammar and "I've been trying for 2 months and NOTHING". Stick out tongue

    All the old ladies I work with swear by it.  Since I am willing to try anything for a BFP I gave it a whirl.  After 3 bottles and no BFP I gave up.
