I don't google much anymore when it comes to pg or anything reffering to it. I told my old ob about percents of women who have the nuchel translucency test done and find they have no hb and he almost hit the roof. He asked for the website etc. He asked me to stay off of it for the duration of my pg. Not that the info you get is wrong ;but you never know the source of some of what you read and it can cause major confusion and so unless they have a license to be a dr I'm sticking with the man in a white jacket with md following his name...LOL. Although it doesn't always mean they are right either. I think it depends on the situation. You can find alot of useful info. I could go on all day you catch my drift!

A/P - it's amazing what you will find when you google infertility. I've been at this for a while and just now found out about the Geritol thing.
Thanks - as soon as I win the lottery, I'll follow my hearts desire :) Until then I'm just a numbers cruncher and fact finder.
Bam- I must be living under a rock. I have never heard of it or known anyone who has. Now I can say I do....LOL. You amaze me you really need to get into reproductive health you would be fabulous!

Ps did you post this in the fertility forum?
A/P - My OB/GYN actually recommended it. It doesn't just loosen your "nose mucus" , but all mucus as well. As always, the most important thing is NOT to take after ovulation (just like EPO). It's also VERY important that you get the kind that guaifenesin is the main active ingredient and nothing else. Any woman attempting to increase their CM through "alternative" methods, should absolutely be doing OPK's or CM checking. They should also have their dr's approval. If in any doubt, ALWAYS call your dr first!
Bam- What does your RE specialist say about this? I'm not debating you on it but I can't figure out where the correlation can be since you are not allowed to take it at all when you are pg? Interesting though.....

Lori - I'm telling you, I have left no stone unturned. I've spent so much time researching everything I can possibly think of. I just wish they had TTC as a class in college - I could ace that for sure!
But in all seriousness, if you're not taking a pre-natal, the Geritol does seem like a pretty good option. Oh and you can't possibly be old - you're younger then my husband!! Ha - maybe I should get the Geritol for him (which is also recommended)!
That's a nightmare waiting to happen...although they might have better luck than us right now LOL
Bridgette- i'm still so amazed how you find everything!
Ya like that Steph? Everytime I hear Geritol I think of old people. Now i'll be thinking of old people ttc! LOL
HAHA very funny Lori :P I have brothers older than you!
Well I am old enough to take Geritol!!!!
Hey, I have a $3 coupon for Complete vitamins in my purse...maybe it's a sign LOL
Lori - I don't know the answer to that question. Maybe start taking it 1 or 2 days later that what is suggested above?
Hey, btw did you know that Geritol Complete is also supposed to be some miracle baby maker? I've just been doing some googling on it. Can't really find out why - but a lot of people are saying "there is a baby in every bottle". Just thought that was interesting.
WOW Bridgette! I never knew that Robitussin can help with TTC, how interesting. What if your not sure when your gonna O? Last month I must have O'd rather late.
Thanks bam! I hope it's my lucky charm this month!
