So, I should *not* be taking aspirin????

Like wildfire, the rumor that taking low-dose aspirin in preparation for an IVF treatment protocol runs rampant online, even to the point that most adopted the opinion that if it doesn't hurt, then why not?

The truth is, studies have shown low-dose aspirin *might* hurt. True, it is often indicated for people with other infertility issues, and it can help during a heart attack, but supplimenting with aspirin isn't always a rule when preparing for IVF treatment.

Yes, you should be taking your prenatal vitamins with follate in preparation for infertility treatments. Yes, calcium and iron might also be beneficial, as is a diet high in protein, but doctors are starting to relay that taking baby aspirin as part of the IVF regimen is not recommended.
