Starting baby aspirin right at O?

Since it has been taking so long to conceive and recently I've been having short LPs (my LP is naturally on the shorter side but lately it's been even shorter more often) AND my normally short & light AFs have been much lighter than ever in my life, twice with only one day of light flow, including this cycle. Supposedly aspirin can help with thin lining & implantation which I worry are issues for me. This is also my last cycle TTC for a while, probably until December. So I would really like to maximize my chances!

Would it do much at this point to start taking baby aspirin now? I think I'm Oing right now, so maybe it's too late to do much? If I do start taking it do I take it continuously until AF/BFP?

I don't have any known clotting issues BUT I have migraines with aura on hormonal birth control and even had a mini/mild stroke at one point. I have a strong family history of stroking on both sides as well. And I have Rheumatoid Arthritis, for which I've taken aspirin and similar meds (Cox II inhibitors) on and off for over 10 years. It is likely I conceived 2-4 of my 6 pregnancies while taking aspirin or similar. I have NOT been taking anything during my past 9 cycles TTC.

Last cycle I was very sick with a virus + strep throat from 2DPO onwards, and I did take baby aspirin on 3-5DPO. Then AF showed up super early at 6DPO. I'm not sure why, I hope just bc I was so sick, but of course my mind went to those 3 days of baby aspirin...

Suggestions? I would really like to have a baby this year. :(

Hi, I took it throughout my last pregnancy but my OB advised me to start taking it only as soon as I got my bfp. She said taking it beforehand could possibly thin lining too much for baby to implant. Not sure how accurate that is but its what I did.

I do not think aspirin is the solution to the problem here. I think you need more nourishment.

I gained about 5 lbs this cycle (I'm up to 107lbs which is in my normal range) and I went off the LE after O, though I'm still not snacking. I'm not hopeful but I've done what I can at this point.

I didn't end up taking any based on lack of info and mylittlegitl's helpful post. So my chart is all natural! It's a very weird chart for me though...

I meant the 5 lbs, not the aspirin! :)

Oh lol! Yes I'll do my best. Shouldn't be too hard since I'm off the LE now. Yay meat and fat!
