I have had several people tell me that taking Geritol "helps to get you pregnant." Ever heard of this? It sounds crazy! Just curious if anyone else has ever heard of this? Wonder if there are any side effects of taking it?

I think I have heard that before, not sure what the reasoning is. I would think it would be the same as a prenatal.

I think the complete. Definitely the pills, not the liquid!
I wouldn't take them with prenatals...that's a lot of vitamins...

You would not need to take prenatals with the Geritol complete because Geritol complete has every vitamin needed but I do take extra folic acid because Geritol complete does not have the recommended daily amount. so I take geritol complete and 3000mcg folic acid.

I normally drink a cup of lemon water a day, I just like the taste, and have for many years. I also started taking Geritol a few months before this one was conceived, because it's a good complete vitamen, with a little extra iron in it, which I needed. My doctor recommended it to me.
