Is it safe, Aspirin and Estrace during pregnancy ?

[pg0301]

Hi,

I am 6 wk pregnant after FET and I have been taking Estrace and Progesterone supp three times daily plus a baby aspirin daily. I am supossed to continue during the first trimester. Is this safe for the baby ? please let me know. thanks

I had a similar protocol after my ivf sans aspirin.  I also stopped estrace pretty early but was taking progesterone till 2nd trimester.  W/o progesterone you may lose your pregnancy and the other 2 drugs are optional but definitel safe.
Good luck and congrats on your pregnancy.

If it is baby aspirin, the 81 mg dose, do not stop taking it.  Studies have shown that it helps prevent clotting disorder, and this is vital for a good connection of the baby to the uterus in the early stages.  The protocol they have you on is very standard for good REs.  Good luck!

No I would stop taking the Aspirin.  It thins your blood out and can increase any bleeding you may have.  I would def. stop taking that.

I think this is normal protocol from fertility Dr's.   The only thing I would question is the estrace....they know what they are doing though.  There is a reason, have you questioned it?

I did FET as well - same meds as you were one.. they stopped them around 11 weeks for me... then I started another type of progesterone via shot in the butt... to help keep my cervix strong because I have a history of preterm and early delivery...
So far on all of my us she looks fine.... I am sure all will turn out well.. Congrats and good luck!
