So scared of a third miscarriage

Hi all, hope everyone is well. I am 40 and desperately wanting one or two more children to complete our family. The thing is I have suffered 2 recent miscarriages the last one being this month. I have tried again this month (so soon I know) but scared to wait because of my age. I am now in the two week wait but already convinced myself it won’t stick again. GP mentioned taking aspirin due to my age. Anyone else heard this. Just want to have a successful pregnancy this time. 😢🙏

I've taken aspirin and it didn't make any difference to my losses sadly - sadly age is the most significant driving factor - my doctor told me at age 40 only 13% of eggs are chromosomally normal falling to 6% at age 42 so miscarriages are much more likely (my doctor scared me shitless). But be aware that unless you have a diagnosed medical issue aspirin can actually cause miscarriage.
