Thanks heaps CPie and BDT, really appreciate your input. BDT, yes you are right hun, and I was also under the impression that ANA was treated with aspirin and heparin or clexane or prednisone. My FS has mentioned using aspirin + heparin when I initially told them of my +ve ANA but my tests were actually done through the pg management clinic and not the ivf clinic, it was an OB and not my FS who has advised me to just take aspirin and to start from +ve pg test. My mind always refers back to FG and I wonder whether aspirin alone will be enough and if we would ever get a BFP this way. I've discussed this with DP and because I'm not sure whether the ANA contributes to implantation issues or pg or both (I guess I haven't had enough TF to say for sure and I'm very lucky to have not suffered any MC) we've decided we're both comfortable with taking the aspirin from the day after EPU so, the day before TF and if, God forbid, we don't make it to TF I will just stop the aspirin. I'm going to ask my FS if they believe that aspirin alone will be sufficient. I also wonder whether I should just go with the flow now for a little bit and wait and see if the aspirin alone does have an impact and gets us a BFP or should I continue to push this and request heparin/clexane/prednisone aswell. Thanks for listening

ETA- The OB we saw yesterday said that aspirin on it's own does not carry the risks that aspirin in combination with heparin etc. does such as poor fetal growth and pre eclampsia which is reassuring.
