A couple of questions for you girls.......


1.) What is the purpose of EPO and when do I take it?


2.) I have been taking a baby aspirin everyday but I heard you shouldn't take it when pregnant......do I stop taking the baby aspirin after I O or wait until I test positive?


If I don't get my BFP this cycle the doctor wants to looks at alternative methods (other than the Clomid)....any advice helps!

Hi I lurk on this board. I hope I don't offend anyone posting here. I don't know anything about the EPO, sorry. However I take baby asprin for a clotting disorder. Not sure what it does when your TTC. My dr wanted me to start taking it after AF every month. I still take it per their request and I am currently expecting. So it is safe to take at least until the last few months of pregnancy. I would keep taking it after O too it shouldn't hurt. HTH!!

EPO: It helps with EWCM. But there is some controversy on it. Some say it can cause miscarrage. I took it for 6 cycles and it didn't do much except increase CM but I didn't really need it. A lot of girls took it and got pregnant, some swear by it. You should be taking it from AF to O and then stop.


As for the baby aspirin, you can take this..not sure if you need it but it can't harm anything. It's a blood thinner. you should take it all the time and even if you become pregnant you have to wean off it in

Why are you taking the Aspirin?
Most doctors do not want you to take if there is no reason. It can and will cause more harm than good.

I take it for a clotting disorder. And must take it every day for the rest of my life.
