Cuddlepie - I took 100mg a day. They sell 100mg tablets for all sorts... blood pressure etc. i got Nyal tablets at the supermarket... they are more expensive than the regular tablets, but really...in the scheme of things its a bargin compared to the cost of IVF drugs.
EM - i guess the Dr knows best at the end of the day. Yeah, there is a lot of conflicting info out there, and everyone is different. GL with your next cycle.
Thanks Daisy and BDT for getting back to me...and hi to Em and M2C (nice pics hun!)
I did some research on the benefit of low dose aspirin and seems apart from thining the blood, it also helps with the blood flow to the ovaries and uterus, hence to increase the activity of the ovaries, allowing them to release multiple eggs during ovulation. I checked all the other side effects etc and seems its pretty safe to be on it. Im still two minds about it but really won't mind to be a 'self-medicated naughty patient' for once If I do decide to take it, I will be like what you did Daisy, just be on it a month leading up to it and stop when Im on FSH.
Anyway, thanks for all the infos guys and I will let you know how I go....
Oh sweetie, you've changed your name! I hope that will bring your lots of luck! 6 months to go until your wedding, how very exciting! Hope all the preparations are going smoothly!
I miss you too, I haven't been on BB that much lately and would love to hear where you are at. PM me if you;d like.
Also wondering where are the guys we used to hang out with, ie Bulie, Dutchie and many more...
Hello,
I've just come across this thread, and I know that it is prob a bit late to be useful, but I thought I'd share what we did...
After testing positive to ANA (but not other antibodies), I was put on 100mg aspirin per day a few days before EPU. On the day of EPU I started heparin injections. This continued until the BT, where we got our first BFP. I then kept going with both the aspirin and the heparin - the aspirin until our DS came, and the heparin until we saw that all was ok at the 20wk scan.
The specialist I saw post testing positive to ANA, suggested that the medical profession dont really know why it helps implantation/maintain a pg (other than the obvious interaction with blood clotting, but they belive that there is some interaction at the cellular level), in people that have poor implantation or suffer recurrent MC. But she said something along the lines of, if a woman has suffered 3 M/C and falls pg with a fourth pg, there is about a 10% chance of that pg going to term. If the woman takes aspirin, there is about a 30% chance of going to term, and with aspirin and heparin, about an 80% chance of going to term. I dont know where the stats are from, nor am I a doctor, but I do belive that this helped us get our BFP.
Good luck and I hope that you all get your BFP that you dream of and deserve!
