Is there any chance of pregnancy while on Ecosprin?
Patient: my wife conceived after 4 months was aborted but doctors are recomended ecosprain 75 for 3 years compulsary with timing to even am taking tis tablet in the time of pregnancy too with doctors advice....now 6 months are gone what i have 2 to and wat treatment i have to take? is there is a chance to get pregnancy again? Doctor: Hi, Let me start by saying that once your wife has conceived , her chance to conceive again is very high. Ecospirin is a medicine which makes blood less thicker/ less chances of clotting. When baby sits in uterus blood has to be thin to reach it. but in some conditions this thinning doesn't occur & blood flow to baby stops gradually & baby dies. But this medicine is required only when she gets pregnant, I mean when her urine tests positive. The other indication for taking it is if she has DVT ( Deep Venous Thrombosis) or clotting tendency even before pregnancy, but then she will need it for life long , why 3 yrs!!She should have an APLA testing done ( Anti Phospholipid Antibody Syndrome) before next pregnancy. If abnormal start Ecospirin once urine positive & she will need Heparin injections daily once heart beat is seen on scan.Kindly see if the following checklist of investigations is doneHusband- Semen analysis at least 2-  done 4 weeks apart preferably in an infertility center ( examination done by andrologist), Blood sugarsWife - Blood Sugars, Thyroid profile Ultrasound scans to evaluate Uterus , Ovaries & adnexa          Confirm tubal patency- most important- Tube is the connection           between uterus & ovaries( the bridge where sperm meets the egg &           forms a baby) this is size of hair follicle & cannot be seen on scans.           So check with HSG( Xray with dye), or SSG ( Scan with dye) or LaparoscopyIf all this done & found normal , nothing can stop a pregnancy with God's willHope I have clarified your queryAll the bestDr.Balakrishnan
