The University at Buffalo is conducting a research study on the effects of a low dose of aspirin on women who have had a pregnancy loss or miscarriage.
The Effects of Aspirin in Gestation and Reproduction study is seeking women to participate. The goal of the study, conducted by a team of investigators lead by Dr. Jean Wactawski-Wende, is to increase the chance of getting pregnant and maintaining a healthy pregnancy.
Women who want to become pregnant, are 18 to 40 years old and who have had a miscarriage or prenancy lost are invited to participate. Participants must come to the study clinic one or two times per month, answer questions about their medical, reproductive and social history, have body measurements taken, provide blood and urine samples and take the study medications every day.
All participants will be given a free high-sensitivity fertility monitor, folic acid supplements and a small stipend for their time and travel. There is no cost to participate in this study.
Interested women should call 829-3128 or e-mail spm-eager@buffalo.edu for more information.
IT WAS WORTH A SHOT: I wrote a couple of weeks ago about how Cameran has been waking up in the middle of the night. We’re trying to teach her how to go back to sleep on her own without us interfering (read: without us having to get out of bed at 4 a.m.).
Early Thursday morning, Cameran suddenly started crying, which startled me out of my sweet dreams of newspapers and ink and running presses.
In a haze, I turned over and hit the snooze button, hoping for a few more minutes of sleep. I laid in bed for a minute, trying to figure out why my “alarm” was still going off.
By the time I realized what was happening, Cameran had gotten quiet and gone back to sleep. Success, it seems, came in an over-tired mom not knowing exactly what was happening.
