Question about baby aspirin during pregnancy post-op

We are going to try to conceive next month and my OB strongly suggests I take a baby aspirin everyday while I'm pregnant because of my history of 2 miscarriages. Now, from what I understand...I can take baby aspirin as long as it doesn't go through my pouch, right? If I take it sublingually, I'll be ok? I'm going to ask when I go to my 1 year post-op appt., but I'm not a patient person, lol, and I like to have answers immediately. I REALLY want to make sure I do what's best for my body while at the same time making sure I do everything in my power to carry a baby to term. This will be our last chance to have another and I don't want to risk anything. If this time doesn't go to term, we're not trying again. I can't go through another miscarriage. Thanks! I hope someone can help. ~Jessi

The best answer is ask your surgeon. My surgron just said NONE for 3 months. If your are worried about ulcers try the enteric coated aspirin 81mg strength. That should help. The enteric coated has a cover on the outside that makes it digest in the lwer GI not the stomach/pouch. Best of luck much love and prayers sent the way of you and your family.........

best advice is check with your surgeon or go with the coated like the other advice you have been given. And RELAX and try not to stress out. You got a whole support group behind you down here Jessie plus this one. We are here for you.

I read my surgeon's material closely and kind of surprised him when I went to my first post op appointment. I had written down the list of meds and supplements I was taking - including a baby aspirin every day for the first 3 weeks after surgery! He apparently didn't know that was in the instructions! (I think everything has been revised since then.) I had no ill effects.(It was to help prevent blood clots in the first few weeks after surgery.) At any rate, check with your surgeon, and it may work out. I hope all goes well for you. Sue

I made my 1 year appt. today with Dr. Adolph on April 16th. I'll ask him about it then. Meanwhile, I have an HSG in the works. If I can't be fit in on Wed. or Thurs., I have to wait til next month (they can only do it on certain days of a woman's cycle). Its a test where dye is shot up into the fallopian tubes and uterus and then tracked by x-ray. It has immediate results and we'll see if there is a reason that I've miscarried twice. I had a huge round of blood tests done in Feb. to see what the cause was, but those showed no abnormalities at all. Wish us luck!! hopefully by June we'll be pregnant!!
