That's basically it really. I'm trying to conceive number 2. I've had 2 miscarriages in the past, one before my son one after (just this past July). I've just got off the phone with a GP in my surgery and I've asked the question whether I should use a low dose aspirin to prevent miscarriage. She said no.
I'm aware that as a general rule doctors only seem to take 3 consecutive miscarriages seriously however I would like to do anything in my power to try and avoid it. I've read on dr google that low dose aspirin can't really do any harm and may help. So why did she say she doesn't recommend it? Have any of you gone on to take aspirin without consulting with a gp? And did it have any ill effects?
I should give you my background as well as it is relevant. I'm 38, non smoker, non drinker, fairly good health, no chronic illness and I don't take any medications. I am taking folic acid but that's it.
