Is there a rule that you can’t use “ ‘d” two times in a sentence?
If I write “I’d call on her in the morning, and she’d look at the calendar”, is it odd?
Thank you.

Yup, as Jambo said, either 'she'd' or 'she would' is fine. It's just the writer's choice; perhaps just to make the pace more interesting, vary the sentence or emphasis that the girl really would look at the calendar. I doubt the writer even thought about it.
The only time you shouldn't use " 'd/'t " is when you're writing a formal report or essay. Generally would is avoided. Putting the contraction on the end of some pronouns, eg object pronoun 'thing', or pronouns like 'the company' is technically incorrect for written english but you may hear things like,
"If they had the money for it, the thing'd be enormous," or "the company'd pay for it" in casual spoken english. "that'd" and "this'd" are correct, but very noticeably informal compared to 'that would' and 'this would'.
