Just a heads up on your calcium. Remember that your body can only deal with about 500mg at a time and you need to split up your dose by at least 2 hours. So to get the required 1500-2000mg we need to be taking 3 or 4 doses per day of calcium citrate.
I have my vitamin schedule posted on my OH Profile if you want to take a peek at how I schedule things to fit it all in.

Just remember that calcium and iron are enemies -- they fight for the same cell receptors in the body and iron always loses. So keep calcium and iron apart from each other by at least 2 hours, as well. Iron likes an empty acidic stomach, so take it away from a meal by at least an hour. For the acidic part, combine iron and vitamin C so they are in the tummy together for best absorption.

but I didn't know about Iron on empty stomach. So I will make sure to do that too.
Is it ok to take your Iron and then eat 15 to 20 minutes after?

A 1oz slice of cheese contains about 200mg calcium. An 8oz glass of milk is about 300mg calcium. Here's a chart. http://whfoods.org/genpage.php?tname=nutrient&dbid=45#foodso urces
