Spoke to a nutritionist/dr of reproductive medicine today and she firmly believes low dose aspirin can help implantation as it gets the blood flowing, anyone had success with this..

@BriocheBuns yes few days after ovulation. 150mg is now the standard uk guideline dose. It was just recently changed but it’s mainly what’s prescribed now for recurrent loss or blood pressure issues in pregnancy. It’s still a considered a very lose dose. 75mg was the old guidelines x

Interesting thread! I've had 2 MCs this year, recent one being a MMC and had to have surgical removal. I have been contemplating starting low dose aspirin this time around after doing a bit of reading as hospital won't advise or investigate until 3 MCs but really on the fence about it. Trying to up exercising as a means of a natural method for blood thinning

Ive had 3 mc’s, currently pregnant took aspirin from bfp but fetus died. So it looks like aspirin helps hold the pregnancy but that is all really.
i took it with my daughter and she was born healthy fullterm so not sure if aspirin actually helps.

Following with interest. I have had 1 MMC and 2 chemicals and 1 live birth and ttc again now. I have read some things saying aspirin can increase the likelihood of mc but also can prevent it?! So confusing. Does anyone know in which situation it could increase mc risk? Do you need to know why you're mcing before trying aspirin in case you're one of the ones it could actually make it worse for - iyswim?!

I was told by a doctor that aspirin is only good for those who actually need it (I guess blood clotting issues). If you don't need it, it can have a negative effect. Even with two losses I was advised to not take it as got my bloods done and there was nothing to show any issues with blood clotting.
I was tempted to self-prescribe with the third pregnancy but decided not to after what the doctor said.
They say that if someone doesn't have blood clotting issues, APS, etc, and achieve a successful pregnancy having taken aspirin, it's a coincidence and the pregnancy would've been successful even without aspirin. Miscarriages are often due to bad luck, bad egg or things going wrong at fertilisation.

@TunnocksTCake I think what you're saying about preventing but also causing m/c is what the doctor said. If someone has blood clotting issues and takes aspirin, it will help prevent m/c. If someone doesn't have any of that and still takes it, it can increase the risk.

@ScrantonDunderMifflin Thank you, that makes sense, I will stay away! Its hard when you want to do all you can to help things along but sometimes you just have to trust your body
