Countdown to Surgery & Life after Surgery

Perhaps a Connection?

It's well known that taking estrogen can cause blood clots. So, to help counteract this, I take 81mg of aspirin daily. As a prerequisite to LAB and BA I went off of the aspirin 3 weeks before surgery. I restarted the aspirin 3 weeks after surgery. The labial bleeding started right around this same time. Unfortunately, I can't exactly remember which occurred first so I can't really reach a cause-and-effect conclusion. However, aspirin can certainly cause bleeding and I'm bleeding. It definitely seems prudent to stop the aspirin for a while and see what happens.
