More spotting after increasing aspirin

Hi I need some advice.

Currently 14+6 IVF pregnancy. I started aspirin (75mg daily) at 4 weeks as told by the clinic and to increase it to 150mg daily from 12 weeks. I don’t remember exactly when it started but been having light dark brown spotting for a few weeks now, not when I wipe but it’s just a bit in my underwear. I totally forgot to increase the aspirin dose so didn’t start 150mg untill 9 days ago.

Then 2 days ago in the morning I started having more dark brown sporting than usual both when I wiped and in my underwear (looks like when your period is ending sorry TMI) I got really scared as I had a MMC in January and it started like this. Anyway went to early pregnancy unit and they said they don’t want to do a scan unless I’m bleeding heavily (filling a pad in an hour) or clots coming out so I went home and booked a private scan. Scan was fine and the sonographer couldn’t find a reason for the spotting.
The increased spitting started after I increased aspirin could this be a coincidence? Any advice?

Early pregnancy unit is waste of time as they said they’ll only scan if you’re bleeding heavily or clots coming out.

Has anyone had spotting without any reason found?

Thank you in advance.

Aspirin thins blood so bleeding will seem like more. Question is why are you taking them in first place?

@Angelik Thank you for your reply. Aspirin was advised by the clinic as I’m high risk (previous miscarriage, age and IVF pregnancy).

Hey @KG2022 How are you getting on and how did your spotting wind up? I just came across your post and thought perhaps it could be timed with the progesterone pessaries stopping around 12 weeks, as that can often cause a bit of spotting.

I know i'm probably 2/3 weeks late but just thought I'd see how you were as I didn't want to read and run.

Hope all is okay 🙂
