Hi all, I’ve just had my first pregnancy and miscarriage ☹️ In fact I’m actually miscarrying today, right now, after bleeding for 2 Weeks and a scan on Thursday that said there was no heartbeat.
My poor little baby should’ve been 9 weeks but was only measuring 6 weeks and no heartbeat, despite seeing one on a previous scan.
I’m sort of relieved it’s happening now so I hope when I have my second scan on Monday that the tissue will have all gone.
Anyway I’ve been trying to regain some control by researching how I can reduce my risk of miscarrying again, as I know that nhs won’t do anything after just one. I have pcos and thought my chances of conceiving were less, but I thought once I got pregnant I had as much chance as anyone else.
I wondered if anyone knows much or has taken baby aspirin/low dose aspirin? Usually 75-150mg per day until 36 weeks, apparently it helps thin the blood so it can reach the baby quicker, as some women have ‘sticky blood’ which restricts blood flow and can cause miscarriage.
I feel it’s unlikely my doctor will advise me to take it as they will say there’s no reason to, but I have read in an online nhs leaflet that there are no known risks to mother or baby of taking it.
I’m wondering if I jus started taking it when we start trying again, or maybe once we get a BFP, it might help? I can’t see any harm in it... what do you guys think?
Would be great to hear from any of you that have done this.
I’m also going to see a private fertility specialist next week so hoping he can shed some light or maybe even prescribe me some. Apparently sticky blood can be tested for easily via a blood test but I know nhs won’t be interested, so maybe I could ask the private specialist to arrange this.
Thanks all xx
