Mini Aspirin

March 12, 2010

I think I forgot to mention that I have been taking one mini aspirin a day since the day after the embryo transfer. I was only supposed to take it from a positive pregnancy test onwards until they put me on heparin. But I thought that the benefits of avoiding blood clots would surely apply also to the implantation period. I am pregnant so obviously it didn’t hurt.  I am also still taking progesterone in form of a cream twice  a day. The concentration is so low compared to the pessaries I was taking until the pregnancy test that I wonder why I do it.  It’s more a superstition than a firm believe it will make a difference.  There are no conclusive studies out there that suggest it can help sustain a pregnancy. But again, I don’t think it will hurt.

Does anyone have thoughts on the benefits of progesterone supplements in early pregnancy and prevention of miscarriages?
