IVF & Aspirin from 12 weeks

[wtawtaw]

Just wondered if those of you that have had IVF pregnancies or are currently pregnant have been told to take aspirin (150mg) from 12 weeks onwards?

At my booking appointment I was told I had to but only because it was an IVF pregnancy, no other factor. I can't find anything else to back it up online and another IVF thread I'm on not many others were told the same. Does it depend on midwife?!

I just didn't really want to take something that wasn't necessarily needed and wonder if I should query it with my clinic

Hi,

I am 15 weeks pregnant with an IVF baby. I am on aspirin but I was told it was due to me being older (41) I was at higher risk of pre-eclampsia.

Wishing you luck with your pregnancy!!

Thank you @Scotty22. I have heard about being over 40 that you get given it. Hope your pregnancy is going well ☺️
I have a hiatus hernia too so not supposed to take NSIADS, will raise with the midwife again next time I think!

I am 42 and IVF at 21 weeks. I am on aspirin also x

Ok thank you. I'm 36 so not really sure why they are saying I need to take it just for it being an IVF pregnancy alone 😏

@wtawtaw my friend was given it because she had a history of miscarriage

I took it up until 38 weeks with an ivf pregnancy as advised by my consultant.

I was recommended to take it throughout all of my ivf cycles, though I can't really remember why. I was only 32 on first cycle, so not age.
