I am going to post this quesion if ever I ask early enough in the day  (it is always full)  but in the meantime can anyone answer my questions?   I miscarried after IVF.  The first time I did IVF they said do baby asperine.  The second time they didn't say it so I didn't  (But maybe they assumed I still was)  anyway I didn't think about it after teh miscarriage.  now reading all these posts and comments from people who are taking the aspierine I am wondering If I caused the miscarriage?  Could taking the asperine have saved teh baby?   Should I have asked the doctors for clarification?  I feel horribly guilty!

I'm just about 7 weeks now, and I've noticed a really weird symptom. I have extra sensitive hearing. I'm constantly wanting to tell everyone to be quiet. It's like they are all talking just a bit too loud. It's really getting on my nerves!!

Anyone else ever experienced this? I'm feeling a bit like a freak about it. Right now my DH is talking on his cell phone and it's all I can do not to say "be quiet will yah?".

LMBO.

does anybody have any tips on getting baby to take bottles after 2 months on the breast............i'm pulling my hair out lol

[Myah's Mom]

Of course you didn't cause the mc by not taking the baby aspirin!!
I know only a little about the theory behind taking baby aspirin, but many woman have used it. I am confident in saying that if your Dr felt that was an integral part of carrying your baby, they would have spelled that out. You did not cause your mc. If you are concerned with how to protect your pregnancy the next time, you should speak to your dr.
Mc, as horrible as it is, is nature's way of taking care of an unhealthy, or or unviable pregnancy.
Take care

Mel--try seeing if other people have luck getting her to take a bottle.  Sometimes babies associate mom so much with the breast that they refuse to accept it from her!  You can also try different types of nipples to see if there are any that she prefers.  Sometimes the contents need to be lukewarm as it would come out of the breast, but be careful not to heat much at all.  Shoot for lukewarm if you want to see if she'll take it better that way.

mgi--I agree that if your doctor felt it was important, they should have told you specifically.  Many women take baby aspirin because like progesterone, it may help and probably won't hurt anything.  There are some specific conditions for which baby aspirin is clearly indicated, but it is becoming one of those things that doctors try simply because it might help.

If you had a specific condition for which you needed the baby aspirin, the burden should have been on your doctor to be sure you understood to take it.  It's not your responsibility to manage your medical care.  I'm sorry this happened to you.  Almost every woman feels guilty for something after any type of loss, whether there was anything she did or didn't "do".  Hugs to you.

I'm sorry for your loss after doing IVF. I have been there. It is so hard once you do IVF after spending all that energy into making everything work out just so you can get to the point of transfer. It will work and you'll have a baby in 9 months...right! Well not always. It sucks and I have never felt so let down in my life. Then the guilt and depression. After a couple months it does get easier and you can be more rational in your thinking. When i read your post I felt some of the sadness in my stomach and has been 2.5 yrs. We did conceive the 2nd IVF and have a 14 month girl. Pls, keep talking about it and be open with your feelings. Once i did open up i noticed it was easier for me and on my relationship. Let me know if you need to talk. Oh, as for the baby aspirin..your Dr manages your care. If they wanted you on it they would have added it to the list of meds with you post- op instructions.
