Taking large vitamins and what about aspirin?

I am about 6 weeks out and would like to start taking biotin as well as some other supplements that do not come in a small pill form. I would also like to be able to use aspirin or Excedrin occasionally. I have no problems eating but I chew very well so I'm not sure how my stomach will handle a big tablet in it. When did you start taking larger pills and how did your stomach treat you afterwards? I'd rather not vomit for the first time because of a supplement I took!

GNC has a pretty good chewable hair vitamin. I enjoy those.

I chew big tablets up no matter how bad they taste. Just a foible of mine against tablets. I baby my stomach trying to make up for tearing it apart.

I take horse pill sized multivitamins, six weeks out, no trouble at all.

I think aspirins are a problem. Tylenol is about the only thing recommended. Ibuprofen is not liked either but I take the gel caps sometimes.

Im 3 months out and I can take big pills but I dont like to. I found 10,000 mcg biotin in gel caps that are super easy to swallow from Nature's Bounty. All my other vitamins are chewable or gummy.
