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?
TIA

Everybody is welcome!!!
Yep, i take a low dose aspirin every day too. as per my OB.

2 Corinthians 12:9 But he said to me, "My grace is sufficient for you, for my power is made perfect in weakness." Therefore I will boast all the more gladly about my weaknesses, so that Christ's power may rest on me.
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!

ugh. "try to relax". gee, thanks doc, for the AWESOME advice. I was planning on being as stressed as possible on purpose. Sorry she said that.
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.
***Siggy Warning***
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.
