Baby Aspirin...

Shay2012

Hey Ladies,

 Have any of your Dr`s suggested taking a baby Aspirin while you are doing IUI or IVF? Or have you choosen to take it during your cycle? Ive read a lot on how it can help increase the blood flow and help implantation. My husband and I are on IUI #2 and I have been thinking about giving it a try, but my RE office is hard to get a hold of at times and I didnt really want to bother then with a question about aspirin.

 

Thanks Ladies! and Lucky Baby Dust to you all!!

I have Graves disease (even though I have been treated and now have a normal thyroid level). My RE said that I would take it when I start IUI. Something to do with the immune system and antibodies and how it can help with implantation. I honestly don't remember! That said, I would not take it unless your doc. recommends it. Just call them again and ask. Good luck.

I asked my nurse about taking a baby aspirin and she said it was fine.  It wasn't something I had to take, but they weren't against it either.

I'd also read a lot about how it can help and figured it was worth trying it.

There is actually a low dosage aspirin which is not as pricey as the "baby aspirin" it is usually right with all the other aspirin.  I have heard about blood flow, but that was not IF related.  It was for flying long distances to lower the risk of blood clots.  It shouldn't hurt, but I would check with RE/OB first.  GL!

I started taking it a couple of weeks ago.  It is one of the additions my RE made to my next IVF cycle.

It has been rec'd for me since my PAI1 levels are elevated.

Make sure to clear with your RE, as some do not recommend it without indication, and there is a time frame when to stop taking it and stop taking it relative to your procedures.

You should clear ANY and ALL medication and supplements with your RE, even OTC ones. They are professionals and need to know if you are doing anything that may effect their treatment. This is not an issue of being bothersome.

Yep, I was told to take it with my IVF cycle.  And I actually had no clue why they told me to take it, but I did.  lol.

Hi there! My RE makes me use baby aspirin for every IVF cycle beginning on the first day of stims and continues right through the 2ww.

It wasn't in my IUI protocols, but it's in my IVF protocol.  Both cycles I've taken it when I start Lupron.

I havne't gotten my IVF calendar yet, but I was told I would be adding baby aspirin to this cycle. 

Good luck!
