TTC After a Loss

RE is having me take Aspirin

I finally called my RE about my CP a few weeks ago. His nurse called me back last night and said that he wants me to keep TTC for another 5 months before I see him. She told me to start taking low dose aspirin once a day and "try to relax." 

I was so annoyed by the "try to relax" comment that I forgot to ask why the aspirin...

Do any of you ladies take aspirin daily? What is the purpose?

    I'll be taking aspirin this next TTC cycle. The purpose is to thin your blood a little bit to prevent any clotting that could interfere with the egg implanting and/or thriving.

  • Yeah my OB has me doing this as well.  Target has a great low dose brand for cheap. :)  I guess it's to help improve your blood flow who knows hopefully it works soon for both of us!

    I know what a tool.

    IMHO you should do the Circle + Bloom meditations. they rock.

    Do you have to TTA?

    I'm going to check out the Circle + Bloom meditations. Thanks for the suggestion!

     As much as I hated hearing "try to relax" I guess I do. The only thing I think about is TTC. I am becoming a tad bit obsessed.

    No we don't need to TTA. Since it was a chemical we can try again this month.

    My RE put me on baby aspiring every day.  She said that it is a typical treatment for recurrent miscarriage, but with me she is also concerned about a possible borderline clotting issue (tests were fine but I have had a blood clot in the past).  She had me taking the baby aspirin every day, and now she has added Lovenox.  

    TTC #1 since 8/09

  • GL and hopefully the aspirin will help out.  Sorry about her telling you to relax.. my OB said the same thing when I saw her the other week - try not to stress.    (sigh) easier said then done.
