question about baby aspirin


I've read it's good for you when TTC. Any ideas why?
I'm currently on CD13, probably about 4-5 days before ovulation. Today is the first time I took it. Is it useless this late in my cycle?

Hey - just found this:


You should consider the benefits of aspirin, especially if you have suffered from a miscarriage. But even if you haven't, taking the aspirin can still be beneficial in helping to prevent some future miscarriages. Some miscarriages are caused by a poorly lined uterus. Some are caused from the presence of antiphospholipid antibodies. These are proteins which appear to be related to coagulation problems -which can cause recurrent fetal loss. This happens when there is a disruption in the placental blood flow, due to clotting. The aspirin reduces the risk of clotting. As for helping with the utering lining, it is believed that aspirin helps with the blood flow to the ovaries and uterus. Though this has not been fully researched, taking an aspirin a day certainly cannot hurt. Because of the benefits listed above to the cardiovascular system, it stands to reason that if it also helps with fertility, why not give it a try? I took aspirin myself for about 6 months after my 2nd chemical pregnancy and quit taking it about 2 weeks after I found out I was pregnant. (www.thebabycorner.co.uk)

Before taking this I would say to discuss it with your GP first.

I started this and believe it may have helped in the end but I had the reasons to and the :thumpup: from doctors and consultants.

Yer was thinking the same myself as it says to take it with caution when you're pregnant
