Baby Aspirin, what kind and why?
| Fri, 03-13-2009 - 3:38pm |
This is my 5th cycle on TTC and it's not as exciting as the last ones. I have not been doing my best to temp, haven't been recording stuff, kind of over it, I guess you can say. People have said one you stop trying is when you get pregnant, wtf, so if I stop trying, don't temp etc, what if I lose my open window and screw up?

I think most of us can relate to the frustration of TTC. Although some people get to a point where they need some time away, there are also others who try not to be too obsessive, but continue to monitor BBT, CM, or OPKs so as to not miss O. If you're ready for less intense monitoring, try throwing out all but one so that you're not so stressed but you can still give the cycle a good shot.
As for CM, the vitamins and minerals found in V8 and V8 Splash does wonders for pure abundance and baby-making quality. :) Baby aspirin (so-called because it's 81mg as opposed to 'normal' 325 mg) generally is not used to help with CM (at least that I've heard of), but is prescribed sometimes to women with a history of miscarriage to prevent recurrence. There isn't TOO much research that shows that this is completely beneficial, but it is known that blood volume and certain clotting factors increase during pregnancy and this can help keep things flowin'. I'd talk with your Doc before taking any kind of medication like aspirin during TTC.
Good luck!
