Geritol is a vitamin and mineral
supplement and has no influence on the
possibility to conceive. But irregular
cycles/periods have a great influence on
the possibility to conceive. The normal
duration of an entire menstrual cycle
lasts between 21-35 days. The normal
duration of menstruation (period) lasts
between 3-7 days.
Spotting between menstruation is a
condition called menometrorrhagia.
Menometrorrhagia can be functional or
organic in nature. Functional
menometrorrhagia is due to a hormonal
imbalance of the axis
ovaries-pituitary-hypothalamus. Organic
menometrorrhagia is due to some type of
structural disorder like an infection or
tumor. In your case, vaginal bleeding
could be functional because it wasn’t
present while taking birth control pills.
Anyway, with such intensive bleeding from
the uterus you probably can’t conceive.
You SHOULD consult a gynecologist about
your condition.
