the asprin thread

[missmayhem]

is anybody on here taking asprin, i have just started, hoping it will help things along

 

[wish2bmum]

No, but I'm interested to know what you take asprin for? lol

 

[hollyw79]

Yes, I am - just started it about a week or so ago- had my mc 3-4 weeks ago. I am taking 81mg a day. My reasoning? Well, I have 2 close friends who had multiple mc and their doc had them take it- they've both had a subsequent successful pregnancy and BOTH are preggo right now and doing well.. My thoughts on it is that I am not going to wait til I lose baby #3 or 4 to try it- it can't hurt at all and may help.

Here is an older link on Bnb about this:

Here is another good link:

You *could* even take it every other day if you wanted, just for a slight boost

I am on baby asprin - sadly because I've had fairly high BP from the start. To be honest it doesn't reduce my BP and when they prescribed it to me, I thought "oh no, hope it doesn't affect bubba" but was pleasantly surprised at the benefits of it when I came home and googled it.

I can't really take Asprin as I have had bleeding in my stomach previously

I wonder if there is an alternative?

 

[Hanskiz]

I'm really interested in this but haven't actually gone out and bought any yet. I may try an every other day approach though. I don't have any real reason to take it other than (as Holly says) not wanting to wait until I've had 2 or 3 losses before trying it. I may well get some and start taking it this week. More research required!!!

Is it to stop the blood clotting problems in the placenta?

It helps blood flow which can only be a positive thing! Definitely check out the links I posted above!

Yeah, I am just afraid to lose ANY more and then be told "oh you should try baby aspirin" especially personally knowing 2 ladies were who advised to take it after recurrent miscarriages.

hello girls, glad to see i am not alone, i have had two definate MC's this year and one possible, i had positive IC's but never got round to testing with another brand......


i am taking baby asprin in the hope that it will stop any future loss.... getting pregnant isn't the problem however staying pregnant is

 

[Cornish]

I am taking 75mg a day as suggested by Holly, I take it along with a prenatal vit, omega 3, folic acid, some honey and a gulp of grapefruit - all things suggested on various threads on this site. Im going with a try it all approach. Going to give soy a try once af arrives also!

 

[missmayhem]

oh bugger did or didn't i take my asprin this morning........

 

[Tasha16]

I am also taking aspirin, I don't have any problems with my blood as I have had tests to see but the consultant said to try it as it won't do any harm x

 

[mummy2girls]

Im going to start taking it when i get my bfp!

Thing is ive read different things on when to stop taking it? when would you stop? 12 weeks? or longer x

 

[baileykenz]

very interesting..

Why not take it before getting a BFP???

 

[mummy2girls]

I used to take it everyday for 3 months and didnt get a bfp so i gave up!
Not sure wether to or not when i spoke to my doctor he said he didnt really recommend it

 

[bostonblonde]

Yep, my doctor prescribed low-dose aspirin for me just in case, to take daily even before BFP. I seriously hope it works too! Anything that might help is good.

 

[mememe123]

I am in as well.. Going to Wally mart on my lunch going to pick up.
: ) Thanks.

I am assuming this will help with just having D/C which is very invasive on uterus. I do have late miscarriages though... I wonder if this would still be beneficial for late miscarriage?? Altough it does not hurt to try... i like Hollys opinion.
