Thanks for your well wishes RommysMummy I really appreciate them. I had heard that it can take a few days to take effect so hopefully if I take it 1 or 2 days after transfer by the time my embryo implants ( I have a day 2 transfer) the aspirin will be working it's magic (hopefully)
Does anyone have any thoughts on taking Aspirin even if not prescribed? It sounds like it has helped a few people conceive whether for immunology reasons or whatever....
I'm kinda thinking...what the hell... shall I just take it and see if it helps? It's a cheap enough option if it works, surely...
I had a chat with my FN today and she is of the "there's not necessarily anything wrong" opinion... whereas I'm in the "lets find out what is wrong and fix it" camp.
Any opinions on whether aspirin could hinder progress and if I take it, should i let the FS know, or should I sneak it? I"m leaning towards sneaking it (that sounds terrible, I know).
Hi Daisie,
I did lots of sneaking and am very guilty of self medicating, but this was rather further down the track than you currently are (I did 10 cycles and 7 ETs). From what I remember of my googling days, low dose aspririn is quite common as treatment for fertility issues, even if you haven't tested specifically positive to any particular immunological or genetic issues. I think FSs in the UK are quite pro low dose aspirin. But it is up to you. I guess you have to way up the chance of you simply needing one or two more transfers ( and that is all some need) to get you BFP, versus the possibility that aspirin will make a difference and get you your BFP sooner, I hope this makes sense. I do think it is worth discussing in detail with your FS, and keep in mind some FS are pro or anti it as a rule so depends on what yours thinks. GL and wishing you all the best. xx
