Where is O?

Yay temp rise! Sounds like you finally O'ed!

Please, try not to freak. I'm sure you didn't do any harm. Can you ask your midwife to refer you to a doctor about getting off the aspirin? I would think weaning off in the 2ww would be harmless as pregnancy hasn't been established yet.

No I don't think aspirin can affect your CM. Lots of other things can, though, like what you're eating and drinking.

Wannagirl, we usually say it's best to wean off anything you've been taking for awhile, including vitamins. It's just to be on the safe side so you don't suddenly 'shock' your body and cause it to short circuit an in-process implantation, or throw your cycle for a wonky loop. Hormones are sensitive to change, and can easily be thrown off, which can do weird things to ovulation and other stuff.

BFP = big fat positive, aka positive pregnancy test.

Okay thanks, now how long in advance do women start taking baby aspirin before their first attempt or what is the recommendation? and could I only take it from AF-O of my first attempt?
thx for all your help.

I'm not sure, sorry. I'm allergic to aspirin so I never looked into it. You should start a new thread about it though and get more answer for your question since it's going off tangent from this particular thread.

Okay. I have also read about baby aspirin causing miscarriage. is there truth to this? I just don't want to take anything that could cause harm.

Peed on an OPK and it was negative today. So I had two days of positives and I wonder if O'ed today. I should get a sense of it all tomorrow....Thanks again for your responses!!!

I do not believe it causes miscarriage as long as you're taking it in advance of getting pg and then you gradually wean off. Anything that messes around with blood clotting can make it harder for a bean to get started. But hundreds of ladies have taken it with good results to PREVENT miscarriage.

Now I am completely freaked out!!!!!!!!!!! Ugh, I kinda regret taking the baby aspirin especially after a chemical. I talked to my midwife and she does not have much experience with this!

Well, please believe me that I looked into it very extensively before I began to recommend it and I do not believe that it causes miscarriage when taken in advance of TTC and then weaned off gradually. much much much much safer than cranberry.

okay quick question , so if you start taking baby aspirin for your sway you have to keep taking it until you get a bfp and then slowly get off it? why is that? and what does bfp stand for?

Yes, it's best to continue taking aspirin rather than start and stop it. the reason is explained in great detail here http://genderdreaming.com/forum/ttc-...echniques.html
BFP = big fat positive, a positive pregnancy test.

Would the baby aspirin affect my CM at all? Cause I just have so much more of it this month.

BTW, my temp did go up this morning.

not to my knowledge

The aspirin is especially important to wean off of because it affects the ability of your blood to clot. When you take it, your body senses this and starts to make extra things called 'clotting factors' that cause your blood to clot. Then if you stop taking the aspirin suddenly, your body doesn't realize this for awhile and keeps making higher levels of clotting factors that can cause your blood to clot too easily. This could potentially cause heart attacks, strokes, DVT, and may contribute to causing miscarriage (NOT the aspirin itself, just stopping it all of a sudden) because the baby gets its nutrients and oxygen supply thru the cord and any clots in that are disastrous.

I think you should start it at low doses (2 a week) as far in advance of yoru sway as possible. You may be able to, over time, gradually increase dose until you're taking up to 5 a week without any bleeding or bruising (becos your body will gradually up production of clotting factors to counteract).

Some people are just really sensitive to aspirin. I can't even take ONE without bruising horribly. If you can't take it, that's ok, remember most of the baby girls ever conceived were without benefit of aspirin.

okay thanks for some reason aspirin scares me blood disorder's run in my family and my mom has a bleeding dissorder. also when I had my boy's right after they were born they had to put shots in my legs to help stop some of my bleeding. I don't have a bleeding dissorder but the spirin scares me so I probably won't take it unless I can take it for a short amount of time unless it's not gonna do anything and be pointless.
