Hey thanks Brunette, Juniper and Renee.
Yes, Renee, you're right, I just did some googling and it's iodine! Elevit doesn't have it. Shivers. Now I'm a tiny bit concerned, because apparently our diet is really low in iodine in Australia and New Zealand. I don't really add salt (we have iodised though).
Anyway, it's just my stomach doesn't cope well with gel caps. I did take Blackmore's preconception Gold but stopped because I was burping and feeling bad stomach-wise.
Though apparently you get iodine from dairy and eggs (which I have a lot).
Hmmm ... I'll prob try the Blackmore's and see how it goes. Or a separate iodine tablet. Then I'll be taking about 4 things per day .... I'll need one of those plastic dispensers with morning,evening,night and days of the week ....
I am tentatively popping my head in here to say hello after getting my BFP yesterday. I am not sure I am in the right place, but I do know quite a few of you lovely ladies from the LTTC Assisted Conception thread.
DH and I have been TTC for nearly 4 years and I think I need to pinch myself. Like many of you can probably relate, I am feeling very nervous about the lead up to my 7 week scan but also very hopeful that we have come this far.
I look forward to sharing this journey with others who can relate.

tantee, it's so good to see you here! Congratulations on your BFP! How long do you have to wait for your scan? FX for a perfect blob (because that's all we could see at 7w) and a strong heartbeat!
worrywart, yes, iodine was the only thing missing from the elevit in comparison to the blackmores. The elevit tended to have a higher dose of the other contents though when I last checked, but that was a while ago.
