Hi there.

My FET done end of August and now I'm nearly 3 months pregnant but my doctor said I should continue using aspirin till 20weeks. Why???

My first successful pregnancy back in 2017 and my doctor (in different clinic) told me to stop at 10 weeks which I did.

Why this time is different?

It's new evidence about aspirin ?

Thank you 💖

Hi lovely, my dr also said to say on aspirin as it can help reduce the possibility of pre-eclampsia. But it’s also just good to help with blood flow to the placenta.Xx

Hi. I wasn’t prescribed aspirin during IVF but to reassure you, I’m 23 weeks and my consultant has prescribed a low dose of aspirin from 12 weeks for the duration of my pregnancy. It can be useful if you have a couple of risk factors for pre eclampsia (I was getting migraines and am 39). I think the research shows it’s often more helpful than not. xx

Hi. Congratulations on your pregnancy.

Have a look at this website:

action-on-pre-eclampsia.org...

Midwifes should screen for risk at booking appointment.

Hope that helps x

I agree with the ladies, it helps to prevent preeclampsia, this is what the midwife and consultant told me also. I am 35 weeks pregnant and still taking them, until the end of my pregnancy is had been advised to me. It is low dose so shouldn't scare you. Congratulations on your pregnancy 💞😍

Hi

I’m nearly 36 weeks, I’ve been on aspirin since 12 weeks and will take until the end.

I was told it’s to assist blood flow because I’m in the high risk category, due to my age, being 42 and the fact that it’s an IVF pregnancy

Hi lovely, congratulations on your pregnancy! I’m 20 weeks pregnant with twins and have to continue to take clexane and aspirin until I am 34 weeks pregnant. I’d stick with your doctors advice 😊 xx
