I'm pregnant and I've heard that aspirin is safe to take. Can you tell me how many weeks I should be taking it? Should I take it for the entire 9 months or just part of the pregnancy? Are there any side effects I should be worried about?

Aspirin is not recommended for routine use during pregnancy, but low-dose aspirin (60-100 mgday) may be prescribed by a doctor for specific conditions, such as preeclampsia or fetal growth restriction, typically after 12-16 weeks of gestation and under close medical supervision; however, it's essential to discuss the risks and benefits with your doctor, as aspirin can increase the risk of bleeding and other complications, especially in the third trimester.

I'm in my first month of pregnancy, and my doctor prescribed Ecosprin 75 for me, which I find a bit confusing since I don't have any heart issues. I do have hypothyroidism, though, and I'm currently taking a 100mg Electroxin tablet. I'm also breastfeeding my older child, so I'm a bit worried because my doctor hasn't changed my thyroid medication dosage. Could you help me understand why this might be the case?
Ecosprin 75 is often prescribed in early pregnancy to help prevent blood clotting and improve blood flow to the placenta, even if you don't have heart problems. As for your thyroid medication, your doctor may feel your current dosage is still sufficient for both pregnancy and breastfeeding, but they will monitor your thyroid levels and adjust the dose if necessary.

I'm trying to figure out when it's safe to have sex without using a condom and not risk getting pregnant. Can you help me understand which days would be safest for this?
To avoid pregnancy without using a condom, it's important to track your ovulation cycle. Generally, the safest days for unprotected sex are during the **non-fertile window** of your menstrual cycle, which is typically a few days after your period ends or just before ovulation starts. However, I strongly recommend discussing contraception options with a healthcare provider to ensure you are fully protected and informed.
