A new study breaks the most believed notion that aspirin facilitates successful conceiving from in vitro fertilization (IVF) treatments. Earlier studies have recommended that aspirin led to easy conceiving through IVF treatments, by providing better blood supply level to the uterus and ovaries.

The new study was published by the Cochrane Library, which regularly carries out independent evaluation of existing researches to provide suggestions in medical decision-making. The organisation assessed 13 studies involving a total of 2,653 participants. In most of the studies, the dosage recommended was of 100 mg of aspirin per day, since the beginning of hormone treatments at the hands of participants in preparation for IVF.

The studies found no difference in the conceiving rates among those who took aspirin and the ones who did not take the medicine. The studies that concentrated on miscarriage rates also did not find any difference with consumption of aspirin.

As per the authors, led by Charalambos Siristatidis, of the University of Athens in Greece, "Use of aspirin for women undergoing in vitro fertilization cannot be recommended due to lack of evidence from the current trial data”. Therefore, the researchers claimed that consumption of aspirin did not increase the chances of conceiving from IVF treatments. However, the study doers did not reveal about their support to the use of aspirin among women.
