wow, i pray to be as lucky as you all. I'm just so confused on whether i should ask about taking baby aspirin or not. I hear alot of women take that. My first cycle was BFN, my FET in April was BFP with beta #1 22 then it dropped two days later to #15 (miscarriage). I have so much HOPE though because i did get a positive result for the first time in my life but this time i really want it to work and stick. I just want to cover every ave i can cover as far as protocol. I had done estrace 3 times a day, prometrium 4 times a day, estrogen patches and progesterone injections on last FET so i was fully covered but my babies didn't want to stick around for me. Please GOD let this one.

I have taken the baby asprin for the ivf and fet. I start right after the ER for IVF and i took it for the first 3 months.With the FET they had me start the day of the ET and i stayed on it until i got a bfn. They say it helps to prevent a miscarriage
