Thanks so much for your quick reply! That was my first post, so I wasn't sure if or when I would get an answer. You have made me feel better, although after the year I've had I think I'll always be a bit nervous about pregnancy. Anyway, thanks a million. I trust my doctor but I didn't want to make him feel like I was questioning his judgement or doubting him. Thanks for the good luck, too. We need it!

I guess aspirin is really a miracle drug, huh? One question: When you say "a very low dose is ... to begin as soon as the pregnancy is known" are you talking about heparin or aspirin? And are you referring to the "particular disease" or my situation. I am already taking a baby aspirin a day.
