Current evidence does not support aspirin therapy in IVF

Previous studies on the use of aspirin have shown conflicting evidence whether low-dose aspirin is beneficial in IVF.


According to a systematic review of 9 studies in different parts of the world involving more than 1400 women undergoing IVF or ICSI ( intracytoplasmic sperm injection) to treat infertility, currently available evidence does not support the use of aspirin in IVF or ICSI treatment. Further research into this treatment is needed.
