Have you tried chewables? Or Upcal D, which is a powder?

Question.....DH picked some up for me but they were citrate without the Vit. D in them. Will I absorb them the same? I take dry D3 seperately every day just didn't know if it would make any difference if taking the Citrate without the D.

We need a good vitamin D level in order to absorb calcium well - at least 80 - but we do not need to take D at the same time as calcium.

I know part of the reasoning of his to wait on the iron is constipation. Is there really a reason I should be waiting until 3 months out for calcium? Thanks!
If you take carbonyl iron, it usually does not cause constipation.
What is the dose of the B12 you are taking once a week?
Vitamin D depends on your vitamin D level. But yours is almost certainly low - almost everyone's is.
Good for you for switching to an adult vitamin!

For B12 there is 1200 mcg daily in my B complex and I take an additional 500 mcg once a week. I was following my docs recommended doses.
I am going to be ordering some calcibites and iron ASAP. I did check out your link for the ASMBS above.
Thanks for the help! There are many like me who would be lost!
Your doc's recommendations are scaring me.
