i am also on it, after 4 mc's in the past and fertility issues.. the first month i took the asprin + folic acid we got pregnant naturally (after at least 7 iui's!). we are 29 weeks pregnant with our first successful pregnancy (hopefully!!). new studies are showing that it helps people not only conceive but stay pregnant in those people who have had either fertility issues or miscarriages (or both). even in those people that dont have diagnosed clotting disorders.. So they are thinking it has pretty amazing abilities!! GOOD LUCK! : )

it also aids in implantation, in addition to all the other benefits mentioned

Lots of women take baby aspirin while TTC and while pregnant. I've been taking it since my first miscarriage three years ago. I'm now 21 weeks pregnant and will be taking it throughout the entire pregnancy. In addition to what mommyin10 mentioned above, it helps thin the blood and can therefore prevent possible blood clots in the placenta. So like mlb said, in some cases, it can actually help prevent miscarriages.

and therefore can also help prevent miscarriage.

I took baby aspirin, too. My RE actually prescribed it before going through IVF. It actually thins your blood & promotes blood flow through your reproductive organs. They had me take it til I was 6 weeks. Hope this helps & good luck! =)
