made a mistake with my 75mg aspirin-help

[bettywobble]

Hi, this is a bit complicated. I normally take 75mg aspirin as I have borderline protein-s deficiency, as recommended by my consultant. I have taken it since 11 weeks (I'm now 23 and a half). I take it at 6pm every night. Ithought at 10am this morning that I hadnt taken it on the friday night so I took it at 10am today (saturday), thinking I would take it from then on every morning at 10am (as in 10 am today now, 10 am tomorrow etc etc). About 6pm tonight I had a panic thinking I did take it last night, but I am not sure at all...I really cant remember. So that would mean I took 75mg at 6pm on fri, and another 75 mg today at 10am. So I dont know if I should now take it tomorrow morning at 10am or wait til night, coz I dont know if I took it in the morning would that be too much??? I tried my mw and she said she had no idea, and I cant get hold of the cosultant as its the weekend.
Anyone any suggestions or thoughts at all???

Just take some tomorrow morning it will be fine. I had to take it everyday throughout my pregnancies and didn't always take it at the same time everyday.

It's such a low dose that it doesn't really matter what time you take it.

I think you are in a panic over nothing, just take it tomorrow morning, no need to phone consultant etc.
Stop panicking.

Thanks for replying...I'm only panicking because it would mean I took a 2 tablets within like 14 hours...I have no idea if this is bad or not??? And when I should take it tomorrow like my usual 6pm time, or 10 am??? I really cant think straight and its worrying me to death :(

It is a prophylactic dose

Don't panic

Take it tomorrow at 10 am - please don't worry

Honestly don't worry 75mg is basically a junior aspirin a child,could take more than one in 14 hours.

Sorry for being so paranoid (I have had 6 mc and am so terrified, I seriously am). So taking it tomorrow at 10am wont have any different effect on the baby than taking 75mg? It would be worse leaving it until night time coz of blood clots?

Don't be sorry its understandable you are worried. Yes fine to take at 10 am tomorrow. Wishing you all the best with your pregnancy. X

betty i had to take 150mg a day alongside heparin. i think if you hasve taken them too close together it will be fine.

and i seriously doubt you will get a blood clot if you were to take it again at 6pm.

i know how stressful it is though, i took it for the same reasons and remember being too scared to inject myself and dp being stuck in work. i was convinced i would lose the baby if i didn't get the injection on time. 39+ weeks pg now so obviously it wasn't an issue.

good luck with the rest of your pg.

Thank you :) xx

mumatron thank you-I take 75mg usually, but I googled low dose aspirin and some people like you take 150mg, which I would have had over the course of about 14/15 hours, rather than in one go. So that, and taking another 75mg 24 hours later will maybe be okay??
Maybe I should take my next 75mg about1pm or something to space it out a bit??
Sorry for going on and on :(

Awww Betty you poor love, sorry to hear about your previous miscarriages.
Honestly don't upset yourself over the Asprin, tomorrow Morning is absolutely fine.

Get a cuppa and relax and watch some crappy tv.

I often forget to take my meds so have a system now.

Maybe write down the date and time you take it?

LF that made me feel so much better, thank you :) I just feel so stupid for not knowing whether I took it last night or not for a start, and then I feel so useless for not knowing the best thing to do. Thanks for making me feel better.
louii-thanks :) I am now trying to concentrate on Paddy McGuiness on the telly with a huge aero bar :)
IARFN I think I really will have to get some kind of routine to remember, as my brain really has gone these days, and stressing has made me feel worse! :)

I read your post on babyandbump. Honestly, you need to relax. You are not going to harm your baby by missing one dose of LOW dose asprin.

Thanks, I actually said I wasnt sure if I actually HAD missed a dose of "LOW" dose aspirin, and was looking for some reassurance, and like I say, its pretty hard to relax after going through 6 mc. Thanks for the "advice". :)
