High platelets + aspirin?

Would love your thoughts as I am not getting anywhere with the nhs!

I have had consistently high platelets, with usually high MCV and low platelet volume. Average platelets are 450 when range goes up to 410. It has gone over 500 before.

I’m currently 15 weeks pregnant. Should I be taking aspirin? The doctors don’t seem to be concerned but as it’s taken me so long to get pregnant and I am now 40, I feel this is my own chance. When I was doing ivf previously (years ago) they had me do aspirin because of this count.

Is it worth me just taking aspirin even without a doctors permission? I just don’t feel they are interested at all. Gp has ignored my requests for further tests and midwife doesn’t seem to think this is an issue.

Grateful for any thoughts of experiences.
