I was on elevit for around 12 months before conceiving.

We discovered I was anemic and started an iron supplement on top of the elevit. We got nowhere so we started doubling up the iron supplement.

We still got nowhere and now we're trying a triple dose of the iron supplement on top of the elevit.

I don't know how much iron is a dangerous level of iron, but I do know that elevit apparently contains twice the recommended daily allowance of iron for pregnant women. I just don't absorb the rotten stuff! Or my baby is a really effective iron-leach.

I wouldn't jump in and start taking the extra supplement without first checking it with your doctor.
