Where is O?

*Weaning from the baby aspirin

[hplnvf32]

Whew, has anyone else ever been nauseous around ovulation? I have been so nauseous today! I have no clue what is going on with my body!

Oh my I feel like every time I have my plan down, I read something else that I didn't know and messes me up. I just started drinking pep tea to lower my testosterone, and now I read that it can slow down O? So should I drop the pep tea? as far as I know I don't have a problem with O I just started charting my temps this cycle and I am about 3 days away from my projected O.

No, just so you know that if O is delayed, drop the tea.

Don't wean off baby aspirin till you get BFP. Then just gradually start spacing doses out til you're taking one a week, then you can drop it (should take about 3 weeks)

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 was just browsing and saw this thread. I'm on baby aspirin to prevent miscarriages due to my loss.
I also have read a lot of women w recurrent losses take it to be safe with good results. So I think it's the opposite!

I hope you caught that eggie!

Nausea can be from a surge of progesterone, so if you see your temp shoot up then that's probably the cause. Or you could just be catching the usual seasonal germies that goes around this time of year, lol.

Do you have a nurse/health hotline you can call about the aspirin? I don't want you to worry about it, and I definitely don't want to see you take anything that could cause miscarriage. I think with aspirin the answer is, it depends. Yes aspirin has been prescribed to prevent recurrent losses, HOWEVER, this would be if the woman had a clotting disorder that was causing the losses. If you have no such disorder then aspirin, being a blood thinner, could be problematic rather than helpful.

I live in Ontario, Canada and here we have a provincial free nurse hotline, and also Motherisk which is pregnancy/breastfeeding specific clinic run by the Sick Kids' Hospital in Toronto that we can call. Is there something like that you can reach out to and speak with a live person? Or call your doc's office? I'm rather leery of aspirin as it can have some very different reactions in different people, and it's certainly possible that anything that thins your blood in general can thin it too much to implant well too.

I've read that aspirin can help implanting. Fertility clinics, at least around here, recommend it for that reason
I'm not saying to take it if you don't feel comfortable, at all , just sharing what I've read
I do have a possible clotting disorder which is why I take it , however my Mfm dr said they have everyone take it as a precaution

"There is some research to suggest that taking a daily dose of baby aspirin can actually help with fertility as well. Baby aspirin helps to increase the flow of blood to the uterus. This, in turn, makes the uterine lining healthier, and helps with successful implantation. Other studies suggest that aspirin actually increases the amount of activity in your ovaries, and allows your ovaries to release multiple eggs during ovulation. Some health care providers may actually prescribe baby aspirin if you are having trouble with fertility issues."

I'd still much rather you ask your doc/nurse for their advice though. Not because I think aspirin will cause a m/c or hurt you any, I just don't want you to worry about it. Worse case scenario, let's say you got a bfp and then had a chemical, what I certainly don't want you to do is to blame yourself for the aspirin, kwim? So for peace of mind, if you're concerned, ask your doctor.

There's another thread just in the past day or two where the OP was having excessive bleeding on aspirin. So I still say that in some people that are super sensitive to blood thinners, aspirin can have adverse reactions. There's no such thing as a med that is good for everyone. (And frankly I don't much like the seemingly universal advice to take baby aspirin for everyone for heart health later in life either). Personally I can't take aspirin (allergic to ASA) so I have no personal experience with it affecting my cycles one way or another.

Just saying, when it comes to YOUR health, when in doubt ask a 'real' medical professional in real life. It's the safest and sanest thing to do.
