geritol

Pound · #1 June 2nd, 2008, 02:28 PM

i picked up some geritol tonic after reading about the baby in every bottle. it's not as bad as i thought it would be, but it's still pretty gross.
anyone trying the geritol?

i'm lol cuz every time i think geritol, i think about seniors.

LOL I did geritol the month I got my bfp so hopefully you get yours this month! I know how foul it is but, hey if you get pg its worth it right! Good luck I will be praying for you!

Call me stupid but for some reason when I think of geritol
I picture some sort of cream for old people

Pound · #7 June 2nd, 2008, 07:48 PM

is a vitamin for old people

but supposedly supposed to help you get pg. a baby in every bottle!

~DaemonMykailasMum~ · #8 June 2nd, 2008, 07:49 PM

lol.. Oh wow, what vitamin(s) are in it?

Pound · #9 June 2nd, 2008, 09:00 PM

i can't remember, but there's a lot of iron and niacin.

Frozendesire · #10 June 2nd, 2008, 09:14 PM

Ooooh I hope your geritol has a baby in it

Pound · #11 June 2nd, 2008, 10:06 PM

haha! i hope so too, cuz as bad as it tastes, i hope i at least get something out of it besides uh, more iron

so i didn't understand your post about the dr visit, being farther along than you think. how did they know? did they do an u/s? if you are 2 months then that's great!

Frozendesire · #12 June 2nd, 2008, 10:28 PM

Linda, he just was confused that I was already testing positive on their tests. So he thinks maybe I'm further along then I think.

princesskate · #13 June 3rd, 2008, 03:54 AM

oh wow, does it really work? and is that ony available in the US then, im in the UK

madmum_sarah · #14 June 3rd, 2008, 04:03 AM

i have seen it mentioned a few times not but i have never seen it (im in the uk though so probably explains it

)
i got a alternative medicines book the other day and on the infertility part it says omega 3 & 6, vitamin b complex, vit A, magnesium and orchi-zinc and add arginine for the mens list.

seems a lot but if i dont get my bfp before my trip next month im willing to try anything!

Pound · #15 June 3rd, 2008, 12:23 PM

steph- ok, so their tests are less sensitive? wow imagine if you already have 2 months under your belt

kate- i googled geritol tonic, and found tons of sites and forums where people said it worked. then again, there are some who say they took the whole bottle, and nothing. but the bottle is pretty small. i've only taken 3-4 days worth (i tablespoon per day) and it's already like half empty.
but it's something that doesn't hurt to try (just tastes like butt

) and if it doesn't work, well i just got a few extra vitamins is all.

i don't know if they have it in the uk, i know lynie (where is she btw?) had to order some online, and she said it cost like $150 or something. here it's $3 a bottle.

sarah- the geritol has vit a and b i think, and iron and nicacin. my dr also told me to get the prenatals w/ omega 3, or you can just get omega 3 capsules and take those. but that's to help w/ brain function i think, not fertility.

i think i read the geritol is supposed to help the cm. or something.

Linda l see you have got your geritol

l still haven't got mine it could
still could be a few weeks for it to come,l'm so glad l got 4 bottles as you said
they are only small bottles and hope it works as l won't beable to get anymore
as it works out to exspensive for me to get them ship to Australia.

On the news here yesturday they have a new fertility drug for older men and it
can also help to prevent m/c as well so thats sounds good but l have to wait till
next week to find out more as it hits the shops next week

Pound · #17 June 3rd, 2008, 11:01 PM

lynie- you haven't gotten them yet?? yes the bottles are pretty small, and it goes quickly. i can't believe it cost so much for you, how much does that come to in u.s. $$? i you need more, i can get it for you, it would prob cost less for me to ship it than paying for their sh/h.

so what is this drug that prevents m/c???

..Jessica.. · #18 June 3rd, 2008, 11:12 PM

You better get a baby after injesting that stuff.

A drug that prevents m/c?!?!? Seriously?!!?! Where can I get it!??!?!

heading your way Linda!!!

Well l think it was about $6 for 3 bottles and it didn't give me a price on the shipping
until l finnished the order and thats when l got the shock

so l'm really praying it
works

l don't really know much about the new drug yet as it's not out on sale till next week
it's for the man to take,when l get it l will let ya know more about it.
my fertility Doc was saying that M/C has alot to do with the man's sperm too so when
the drug came up on the news that was the only part l really took notice on lol.
Also thanks for the offer with the Geritol

you are so sweet.

Pound · #20 June 3rd, 2008, 11:38 PM

thanks jessica... i sure hope it works, cuz it tastes BAD.

lynie- i heard that about the sperm too, in fact today i heard on the news that men over 45 who have kids tend to have kids that live shorter lives. (as babies, they have problems). but if the baby makes it to past 1 yr, then it's usually no difference. not the same as m/c. but almost the same principle. i also read in a book that men over a certain age tend to produce more m/c too, cuz the sperm is a lower quality.

we probably won't get it approved here soon though, our fda is pretty strict on drugs.
