Aspirin thins your blood so I don't think so

Miscarriage is an area of healthcare that even the doctors can't really understand. Very often a woman will have a miscarriage and the is no explaination for it. Some women have a condition where their blood is too 'sticky', this they believe causes a blood clot in the placenta which causes miscarriage. For these women taking aspirin may help prevent miscarriage. To be diagnosed with this condition involves getting a certain type of blood test, the doctor may then prescribe aspirin. I would not recommend taking any medication during pregnancy that has not been prescribed by a doctor, it could end up doing more harm than good. If you have suffered from recurrent miscarriage (3+ miscarriages) I would reccomend you go and get fertility help and maybe ask for the blood test mentioned above.
