Your gyn can answer your questions MUCH better than I. I was 38 when I had my surgery which forced me into an early menopause, requiring a strict daily calcium supplement, so my situation is different from yours.
As I got older, I found that I had to eat less, such that, by now, it's impossible for me to consume enough calcium from my food; supplements are the only answer for me. That may happen to you as you get older, maybe not.
Do each of your calcium pills contain 635mg. or is that the total for BOTH? If it's the total for both, you can do better. Check the labels -- I got a huge supply at Safeway on one of their specials, and I made sure that EACH capsule contained 600mg. A lot of times I don't have any soy milk products, so I have to depend on the supplements. That doesn't appear to be your case, however.
It's good that you are on top of all this, Barbara. By the time you're 50 or 60 you'll be glad you began taking action at 36.
