Elevit or Blackmores Conceive Well Gold?

[Pretz]

Hello ladies,

I am wanting to start taking prenatal vitamins, but have heard and read from some people and that their doctors recommended Elevit while others recommended Blackmores Conceive Well Gold.

What did you take or can you recommend I take?

My girlfriend and my cousin took Elevit, but both said at different times that it made them nauseas so I was wondering whether this was a common side effect?

I'm not seeing my OB until September so was wanting to start taking some now, rather than wait and asking him in September.

Thanks heaps

I had elevit as the blackmores one made me sick

Hey!

Elevit is the one recommended by my fertility specialists. It has more than enough of what we need in there.
The trick is to take them with your breakfast (or with any other food). They do make you feel nauseous if you take them on an empty stomach, but so do the Blackmores ones. I've had them both.

Get your boy to take Menevit too! It's the male equivalent and is also recommended by my FS!

Good luck

It's my understanding that Elevit has the ideal amount of folic acid while Blackmore's is lower (but still really fine). However, Blackmore's has iodine and Elevit does not and iodine is important.

if you take elevit you need to take an omega 3 as well, but the blackmores has that already in it. you need that to absorb one of the ingredients properly.
i took blackmores for a couple of months and i didn't have a problem with it. no nausea or any side effects.

I found elevit & blackmores both didn't agree with me. I now take FeFol Pregnancy supplement + spatone iron supplement.

I've started taking Elevit as well and have found that in the morning with breakfast is the best time for me. When i first starting taking Elevit it made me constipated and a bit nauseous but it passed once my body starting getting use it them.

Lenny,

I have now taken Blackmores Conceive Well Gold since July and have had no side effects or problems with it, so you should be ok.

I don't think it will delay your period either, however if you do notice any changes to your cycle or experience symptoms you normally don't since starting BCWG, I would recommend you talk with your doctor just to make sure.

All the best in your TTC journey!

I took the Blackmores and didn't have any nausea, mind you I've always taken a multi vitamin and always made sure I have them with a meal.

I found Blackmores made me very feel crapo. Make sure you take them with food or you will feel worse!
