aspirin

[Pizzax]

hi ladies. I’m back again with another question. Has anyone taken aspirin during their two week weight or maybe even prior to it? With my first round of IVF I remember reading a lot of stories of women taking aspirin as it’s a blood thinner and can decrease chances of miscarriage. I asked my doctor today at the clinic if I’m OK to take aspirin alongside my other medication’s since I do have an issue with blood clots often in my menstrual cycles - not large clots, but just sometimes more than other months.

I wanted to ask if anyone has taken aspirin during their IVF treatment and any stories or benefits they think they got from it?

I am doing a frozen embryo transfer very soon. Currently on Lubion injections plus Cyclogest x2 a day. I am also still on Progynova 4 pills a day.

thanks in advance for any replies xx

Me! My consultant suggested I take baby aspirin from day 1 of my cycle in preparation for my FET, as its meant to help improve blood flow to the uterus. My FET worked so I continue taking it (technically until 12 weeks).

[Pizzax in reply to ChocoMuffin]

Oh congratulations lovely I’m so happy for you that it worked! How many a day were you taking? I have a low-dose aspirin so far I’ve only taken my first one today. I’m doing my FET on Friday. Xx

[ChocoMuffin in reply to Pizzax]

Just one a day ☺️ best of luck with your FET!

I was prescribed with Aspirin as well. So just want to double check here, baby aspirin is just to split the pills we could get from pharmacy to be the right dosage, or is there a specific aspirin for baby (low dosage)? Many thanks!

[ChocoMuffin in reply to Pineappletree]

Baby aspiring is Low dosage aspirin. I was originally prescribed 100mg (as that’s the dose it is sold in Spain, where my clinic is based) but I took 75mg and they were happy with this.

Many thanks 🙏

I did and stayed on it throughout most of my pregnancy

[Misscocktail]

I did and throughout the process but stopped for 2 days prior to EC and started again the day after.

[Pizzax in reply to Misscocktail]

Sorry egg collection x

I took 75mg aspirin a few days before my FET to get blood moving. This was my own choice and now I’ve been advised to take 150mg. I’m currently 15 weeks.

[Pizzax in reply to Kerry1487]

That’s amazing Kerry1487! I started the aspirin yesterday 75mg like yourself, and will continue taking them. Congratulations on your pregnancy. I’m really happy for you! Xx

[Kerry1487 in reply to Pizzax]

Thank you. Good luck with your treatment x

[Hopefulsibling2 in reply to Kerry1487]

Hello, could I ask what reasons you were advised to take the aspirin for the rest of your pregnancy? I had my viability scan and was discharged from fertility on Monday - my consultant has recommended I take 150mg of aspirin from 12 weeks due to my age (40 in Sept) it's an IVF pregnancy, and the fact when my son was born in 2018 his placenta was 'gritty'. I hadn't heard of aspirin use before so looking for other people stories and experience! Thank you

[Kerry1487 in reply to Hopefulsibling2]

Mine is an ivf pregnancy and I think it may have something to do with preventing preeclampsia.

[Pizzax in reply to Hopefulsibling2]

Hey lovely just to help thin my blood and help with the flow as I seem to clot often during menstrual cycle xx

[Tats78]

hey, yes I’ve taken baby aspirin (75mg or along those lines). It’s perfectly normal as far as one’s day and

[Tinkertinkerbell]

I took it for my successful cycle. I had 4 unsuccessful transfers and one embryo left. So my 5th and final transfer I decided to throw everything at it. So I started just 75mg a day I think a week before transfer. I didn’t even tell my clinic. That was the one that worked and gave me my daughter. But I also added pro biotics and had transfer a day later so I’ve no idea if it was the aspirin.

[Pizzax in reply to Tinkertinkerbell]

that’s amazing. I’m really happy for you. I’m glad it all worked out and that you got your daughter out of it xx I completely understand why you would throw everything at your final transfer. I’m at the same stage now and I thought it’s better to try and do everything less. Xx

[Tinkertinkerbell in reply to Pizzax]

It definitely didn’t hurt and as soon as I was pregnant my midwife told me to start 150mg of aspirin a day anyway- right through to 36 weeks to prevent blood clots. Good luck x

[Malloh787 in reply to Tinkertinkerbell]

When did you start taking probiotics? Before transfer or after transfer and for how long ?

[Tinkertinkerbell in reply to Malloh787]

3 weeks before transfer. 3 a day right up until transfer then I stopped x

[Malloh787 in reply to Tinkertinkerbell]

Ok did you take them on transfer day and stopped after that and if you don’t mind can you tell me the ones you took x

[Tinkertinkerbell in reply to Malloh787]

I took them the night before transfer then stopped. Canesflor but I think you can’t get it now x

[purplerain157]

yes, I’m taking asprin. It’s in my protocol

[Emsk14]

Hi, yes I was advised to take aspirin for my last FET. (I was also on blood thinning injections-Clexane-as I have the same issue with blood clots during my period and had some blood tests which showed I was prone to blood clots. Sadly the pregnancy was a chemical, but I had implantation for the first time (it was our 5th round) and I think part of it was due to the aspirin/Clexane. Best of luck! X

[Boo718]

hello I was on aspirin the whole pregnancy only stopped a few days before c section xxx

[Babyluck95]

Hi sorry to wade in on this post, would you suggest I start taking asprin before my transfer then, as my protocol says If I get a positive test then take it, just want to see if its gonna help before? X

[Pizzax in reply to Babyluck95]

I started mine from day before transfer to prevent any clotting but it probably depends on your situation xx

[Babyluck95 in reply to Pizzax]

Okay I am taking inhixia injections for a blood clotting condition from the start as well so maybe in my situation I'm better to leave it how it is, thank you for the reply and I really hope the best outcome for your next result! Xx
