baby aspirin

[Another princess]

How frequently are you all taking aspirin? Thanks

[purple sky]

I take it daily. I don't think we need to take it while on af though. Is that right?

[Another princess]

Purple sky thanks for your reply. Im sure ive read of people taking it just a couple of times a wk frm AF-O. Am not sure about 2ww though.

I read that cranberry Is very good at lowering ph. So does baby aspirin lower ph as well?

Cranberry and baby aspirin should not be taken together as they are both blood thinners. It is probably ok for DH to take them both together as they're better tolerated in men.

Baby aspirin is for lowering pH without the added nutrients which come in a cranberry pill.

You can take baby aspirin every day if you can tolerate it - but not if you find you're bruising/bleeding more easily. You will get some benefit from taking it only a couple of times a week so you can start with a little and add more if you feel comfortable or start taking it every day and cut back at any signs that you should.

Thanks Zanacal but what about it the 2ww? Thanx

[zanacal]

I actually took it every day in the 2ww (3 days a week leading up to our attempt) and weaned off it once I got my BFP.

Thanks. Are a little bit of cranberry and baby aspirin ok together or do i need to choose?

It's best to pick one. Doing both just counteracts the benefits of skipping the cran to begin with (adds nutrients) and since they both are blood thinners, doubling up makes the blood thinning aspect even more effective (and not in a good way!!).

Yes and many have found it works just as well in much lower dosage. Test it for yourself, of course.

Plus, baby aspirin, unlike cran, actually is safe in very early pg and may even help to prevent miscarriage a little.

Start by taking it twice a week and see what it does for your pH and see if it makes you more likely to bruise. If your pH stays high and you're not bruising, increase it. But if it works for you at that dosage, no need to increase it.

With supps, you should always take the minimum amount to accomplish your goals.
