Hi,

I have posted on here quite a bit after my MMC/ERPC in March, i am still waiting for my period which has so far been a VERY long 9 weeks. I have so far been told by the doctors that they won't look into this until i'm past 12 weeks and still no period.

I have been reading online about different fertility treatments and remedies that help thicken the lining of the womb and Baby Asprin/low dosage 81mg has come up every time.

I'm going to go and buy some tomorrow and start taking it as i'm currently ovulating...i'm just wondering why women that have had miscarriages/ectopics arn't encouraged more to take this type of medication...even women that are having a normal pregnancy should be encouraged to take it considering it lowers the risk of miscarriage and not to mention all the other health benefits listed below@

It lowers the risk of the following:

Strokes and heart attacks
A daily aspirin cuts your risk of dying from breast cancer in half and protects against
colon and pancreatic cancers
Premature labour
Preterm labor
Preeclampsia

I have read that there are some risks of long term use, but to avoid you just need to cut down gradually rather than stop immiediately

Anyone else want to join me in taking baby asprin and see how many BFP's we get????

I had 2 normal pregnancies, then two very early mc’s. I started taking baby aspirin and had DC3. Convinced it was the aspirin x

I am currently on MC number 2 (nearly 4 weeks ago and still no negative HPT ... ugh). It took 4 years to conceive the baby we just lost, so I also attend a fertility clinc and was advised that I could take baby aspirin to prevent miscarriage. My fertility doctor said she can't prescribe it as it's not strictly proven, but I could get it over the counter. Like many of you though, she said don't take it until after a BFP, as some studies have shown it can interfere with implantation. I seem to end up with a SCH with every pregnancy and they're usually caused during implantation, so I definitely think I'll wait until after a BFP in case I make that any worse.
