Missy you might want to double the 65 mg elemental iron. Your doc said "at least 325 mg" ferrous sulfate. If you're going to go the oral iron route, to be sure you've given it a fair shot and to avoid him telling you to double it later down the line, maybe just start with it doubled now. That's 130 mg elemental iron (somewhere between 100 and 130 would be fine). That's an awful lot of the the liquids, as Steve noted.
