Just wondered if those advised to take aspirin after recurrent miscarriage were told to take it all the time or wait for a BFP?
I'm 44, have three DC 19,13 and 8 and had a MC in March this year at 10-11wks.
We tried again next cycle,conceived but I miscarried at 6 weeks in June.
I actually ovulated and conceived 14 days after bleeding had started and despite seeing a heartbeat at 7 weeks and a scan at 8 weeks showing normal growth, we discovered at a 10 week scan the heart had stopped at 8w6d and I went on to miscarry at 12 weeks in early Sept.
Due to my age and the fact that we have three children I've been told I am not eligible for any tests or investigation.They say that chromosomal abnormality would be likely, though clotting may also be an issue.
The advice relayed from the consultant via my GP was to start taking aspirin every day from the start of my next AF and try again, but at my age any pregnancy would only have a 50% chance of a successful outcome anyway.
I've read of many people being told not to start taking aspirin until after a BFP as there is a suggestion it may interfere with implantation and I would be interested to hear of advice given to other people.
Thank you!
