Hummingbird, I'm on low dose (100mg) aspirin. Whilst it is safe in most situations, I believe there are some specific situations where it can cause problems, so it's best to do it under medical supervision. I've only ever taken it during cycles on doctor's orders. Chances are, if you ask your Dr about it, they'll give their approval. This cycle I'm not only taking the aspirin, I'm also on clexane, prednisone and feldene (but just since O for that one), not to mention a heap of supplements. Lol, and I'm doing both pessaries and pregnyl for luteal support! We're throwing everything but the kitchen sink at it with our new FS. Our previous FS didn't believe in any of it, aside from the aspirin.
Thanks for the congrats, Mrs Mac, Hummingbird & Miss B! I want to be excited, but don't dare to yet.. Let's see what the next blood test brings.
Hummingbird, I'm sorry about AF showing up Hugs... I'm using disparin and I just checked and it's got 300mg aspirin in it. I never really checked for the amount I was taking, now Juniper mentioned it I might go for a lower dose... I'm only taking it every second day as I started bruising pretty quick, can understand it now, with amount of aspirin in it I have used it on and off during TTC, but started only recently, at the start of the cycle before this month's FET. I have endo and for the first time in ages I didn't have a painful period due to not having blood clots & now I have a BFP. This hasn't been prescribed by fert. specialist, but I didn't think it would hurt using it!
me4ever, it's the 100mg aspirin the FSs tell you to use - all 3 of my FSs have instructed me to take that dose. In America, they usually use "baby" aspirin (80mg). Thing is, it's a NSAID, so you don't want to be taking full doses while TTC unless your Dr has instructed you to do so. It's also category C for pregnancy, so I'd recommend you speak to your FS's office about it and you should definitely tell your OB when you start seeing them. I started low dose aspirin after EPU for my last IVF cycle and continued until 36 wks, but that was a joint decision between my FS and OB, not my decision, and it was done under medical supervision (including extra blood tests to monitor its effects).
