I take it because I have MTHFR. I think a lot of women take it without a diagnosis of blood clotting issues just in case (a lot of doctors won't do high level testing until you have 3 m/c's). There may be other reasons I don't know about.
I am interested in this. Could someone please advise how it is taken and what type? Thanks xx

I started taking a low dose (81mg) aspirin a day. The baby aspirin is usually 81mg also.
I had a miscarriage, and I've read that sometimes it can prevent a miscarriage if there's a clotting factor. Who knows if this is an issue in my case, but many woman have success with taking it and carrying to term without a Dx disorder so I am willing to try it. The woman who use it and become pregnant seem to take it for a few weeks into the pregnancy usually, some up until the second trimester or until told to stop by doctor.
As a PP said it is recommended for people with clotting disorders and they don't usually test for that stuff until after 3 miscarriages. (I'd rather not have another miscarriage in case that's the reason, which is why I am on it now, as a precaution.) Patients going into IVF are sometimes told to take baby aspirin beforehand also.
Low dose aspirin is usually okay to use even if you don't have a clotting disorder, but it's best to talk to a doctor first because it's not for everyone.
Some people also believe it helps with lining, by making it more cushiony. I don't know about that, but that's what I hear. It does increase blood flow, so it would make sense that it would increase blood flow to the uterus as well.
Hope this helps some.

So you take it everyday of the cycle? And it doesnt interfere with any other supplements (that we know of!!) ?

Yes, that is what I had heard, it helps with the lining but I couldnt really find any research done on that so I didnt know how true it was. I thought Aspirin was bad for you because of its ingrediants....I was told Tylonel was what I should take if needed.

I have MTHFR and I went to a genetic counselor who advised taking baby aspirin. My Ob said it would not hurt the baby just make sure it is 80mg aspirin. Many people with heart issues take as well so most drug stores have it. I take a brand called St. John's.
