MashaAllah you have responded very well to Iron therapy. For your situation, a reasonable approach would be:
Iron bisglycinate providing 50–60 mg elemental iron daily
either:
26–30 mg twice daily, OR
50–60 mg once daily
Many recent studies show that once-daily dosing or alternate-day dosing may absorb better than multiple high doses because of the hepcidin effect. So:
If you tolerate it well → 50–60 mg once daily is reasonable.
If gastric upset occurs → divide into two doses.
