How are you doing today?

I am not doing so great. I've had both multis, two doses of calcium, and my D3. I've also had my magnesium oxide and my ginger (which I started taking because it's supposed to reduce inflammation, but it kind of has a bad smell/taste so I don't know if I'm going to continue taking it). And I just had my second calcium a short time ago, so I can't take my iron and C yet, and I am hoping to get to sleep soon so I will probably be short that and one calcium for the day. Blah.

I'm 5 wks out and haven't been able to get my 4 chewable vitamins in a day. I'm still taking some medications so all these pills plus the V is overwhelming.

You need 1500-2000 mg calcium citrate a day - so if you're taking one that is 400 mg, you would need four a day. Are you sure it's 400 mg per pill, though? I can't think of any brand of calcium citrate that has 400 mg per pill. Is it maybe the Citracal petites? Those are only 200 mg per pill. The label says 400 mg per serving, but a serving is two pills.

You need 1500-2000 mg calcium a day, so yes, you need more than 400 mg.

I personally don't think Opurity is the best multi to take, but if you are going to take it, I would take two a day.

No, you should be taking eight to ten a day. You need 1500-2000 mg calcium citrate.
