Thanks Sal . I am excited but also a bit scared TBH. But only about how long it might take again.

Thanks Sal for the link. I think I will just throw them out to be safe. Would rather not take the risk.

Megan, I stopped taking Elevit when I was pregnant at about 6 months pg for memory. I agree with LR that if you have a good diet then you dont really need one, aside from FA that is.

Rach here in Aus, FA isnt subsidised so its actually cheaper to buy elevit (or other pg vit) rather than taking 2 different tablets. Oh and easier to remember ]]> Sat, 11 Dec 2010 00:02:03 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=37064&PID=1217896&title=expired-elevit#1217896 <![CDATA[Expired Elevit : Little_Red wrote:Megan, there...]]> https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=37064&PID=1217680&title=expired-elevit#1217680 Author: meganflett

I have cut right down on junk food etc its just for years i became very fussy and didnt eat well so i didnt have good iron intake or vitamins etc and i didnt want the past coming to bite me although in my first blood tests they told me my iron was ok]]> Fri, 10 Dec 2010 17:41:11 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=37064&PID=1217680&title=expired-elevit#1217680 <![CDATA[Expired Elevit : Megan, there is no need to take...]]> https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=37064&PID=1217660&title=expired-elevit#1217660 Author: GuestGuest

I don't know what other ppl reckon, but I figured if I was pg and wasn't able to afford elevit I'd just take a cheaper brand (which usually only have 200-300mcg FA) and then take another plain FA tab on top of that?

That's just a thought though!

 

Oh and about the expiry thing, I was wondering that myself as some was selling some for cheap on trademe coz they'd expired Aug '10. My mum always said not to worry coz they're just being cautious with the dates that they set, but yeah I guess you'd worry if there's any risk. Sorry that's not much help lol

Not sure if its ok to post this in here but its elevit related!

I am coming up to 17 weeks pregnant and have been on elevit since the day my doctor confirmed pregnancy, I have one sheet left and just wondering if anything can happen now if i stop taking it? i know its really important in the early stages but just wondering if it puts baby at any risk if i stop taking it? It is SO expensive and just don't really have the money to get more at the moment...the midwife wanted to give us a free sample but she was out, massive bummer!]]> Fri, 10 Dec 2010 16:17:26 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=37064&PID=1217621&title=expired-elevit#1217621 <![CDATA[Expired Elevit : Hey Ri, I had about 6 months worth...]]> https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=37064&PID=1217612&title=expired-elevit#1217612 Author: GuestGuest

Hey Ri, I had about 6 months worth that had expired and I decided to throw it out. I didn't think it was worth the risk. I actually had a thread about it I think, if you search on "Expired Vitamins" or something.

Found it

I will start taking Elevit from next month in preparation for TTC. My issue is, I have about 2 weeks of unused Elevit from when I was pg with Jackson. The expiry date is June 2010. Do you think it will still be ok to take?

I really dont want to throw it out but thinking I might have to!]]> Fri, 10 Dec 2010 15:52:42 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=37064&PID=1217597&title=expired-elevit#1217597
