Hi Janey,
I have had a very early loss and 2 very late losses. I take 81mg aspirin daily and I am on the blood thinner clexane. I do not have mthfr or any other known disorder (I have been tested for just about everything). There were large clots in the placenta when my daughter was born so there is a problem with clotting. I started taking aspirin before we started TTC. There is no harm in taking the low dose aspirin. If you feel like you should be taking it, then do it. My doctor does not give clexane to women that are only heterozygous for mthfr but I do not understand telling you to not take the aspirin. You should talk to a second doctor to ease your mind.
There is a women in the parenting after loss forum that has mthfr and just had a healthy little girl only taking the low dose aspirin.
I also have had 3 miscarriages and I have had every test you can think of during my TTC Journey.
In this pregnancy, I am on low dose asprin. The FS said to start taking it and stop at 36 weeks. He said to me that it wont hurt you and apparently it makes the blood flow quicker and makes the uterus more accepting to an embryo. Funny enough I got pregnant first month after starting to take asprin.
So sorry to hear about your past losses and I hope you have success in the future.
I have just tested positive to MTHFR also, my FS has me on:
Low dose aspirin daily (100mg)
Mega folate 5mg/day
High dose B6 and B12
Daily injections of Clexane (Heparin) from embryo transfer.
This is the only thing that has ever come up for me as an issue after 4 years TTC, I have never had a positive pregnancy test, and I can only hope that this will make a difference for me.
My only comment would be to perhaps get a second opinion, from my own research (Google) the above supplements and meds seem to be the norm in treating MTHFR and I don't know why either your FS would be against aspirin.
Best wishes to you, I hope you get the answers you need.
