Hi all, just found out im nearly 5 weeks pregnant after 2 longgggg years trying! I did start taking 75mg of asprin (what people call baby asprin) around 5-6 weeks ago, just on a whim as lots of people said it helped them conceive! I’ve never had a positive test so overrrr the moon!
Should I stop taking it now? I don’t see a midwife until like the end of September and don’t want to risk anything!
Thanks in advance!

I would ring 111 and speak to a medical professional, especially as you have been trying for so long. It’s better to be safe than ask another mum who may not know the potential risks/side affects 🙂
However, normally you should only take aspirin if you are prescribed by doctors I believe x

Hi! Congratulations! I have no idea really, but just thought I'd let you know that I have been prescribed 2x 75mg of aspirin daily for my pregnancy, but wasn't allowed to take it until 12 weeks. So possibly you should stop taking it? Although the midwife did say to me that the reason it says on the instructions of the aspirin not to take it during pregnancy is just because they haven't done enough testing on pregnant people as that would be unethical.

Congratulations!! I also have been prescribed 2x75mg a day of aspirin but I started it from 12 weeks and got to take it until I’m 36 weeks😅 but as you’ve already been taking it before I would maybe seek some advice from a dr or midwife and see what they advice you to do☺️xx

Congratulations, I took aspirin 1 x 75mg a day for my whole pregnancy due to low PAPP-A hormone and I took it from as soon as I saw my midwife at 10 weeks :) but give them a call and ask xx

I carried on taking mine, my doctor said there's no harm in continuing it if I want to but best to speak to your doctor x

Normally you aren't supposed to take it until 12 weeks. I've had to take it for my whole pregnancies with both of my daughters

I’d call your GP and try and register with local midwives and then go to the walk in clinic for early pregnancy or call a midwife at your hospital. I was prescribed it from before pregnancy until almost the end due to a clotting thing.
