Thanks a million BDT, I secretly had hoped you would reply.
My FS is not the same person as the
Ob I saw and I don't believe that I will be seeing the
Ob again. FS mentioned aspirin and heparin when I mentioned my +ve ANA but didn't mention when to start etc. FS is away atm but when they return, this will be the first thing I ask about.
It's interesting you said aspirin sems to be the standard for immunology and some genetic issues. My rheumatologist said that he uses aspirin as a matter of course in his
pg patients with a lot of the auto immune diseases he treats BUT, RA (rheumatoid arthritis) isn't really one of them
LMAO (of couse it isn't), however he is happy for me to begin following an ET. He said that it's not good to be on it at the time of TF as it impacts implantation. Now this is where I start to get really confused. I'm not sure if when he says implantation he's referring to implantation of the embryo into the uterus lining or the implantation of the embryo back into the uterus at ET. From what I have read so far aspirin does not negatively impact the embryo implanting into the uterus lining so I'm assuming he was talking about implantation of the embryo back into the uterus. I did check and he definitely said it was ok to start 24hrs after ET. My thinking is this is what I will do, I'd hate to think that I was jeopardising (sp?) treatment in any way by starting too soon but I agree with yourself and CPie- starting after a +ve
pg test may be too late and I may never get a BFP if I do. I hope my ramblings have made sense. TIA.
