I think I might be preggy and was curious what exactly the baby aspirin is supposed to do? Is it safe to take? Will boost your chances of actually keeping it and not M/C? I m/c my first and only so far pregnancy, and terrified it's gonna happen again.......

Thanks for any info anyone might have on this! :)

On the clomid board - they mention taking a baby aspirin and drinking pineapple juice every day between O and AF as a way of boosting your progesterone levels (thus attempting to maintain a pg if you're lining is too thin).

I hope I'm quoting this correctly. You may want to jump over and read up on their board to see if it really works or not.

Lauren,

Sorry this was apparently something women were doing to increase their lining back when I first started ttc back in the spring. Now they have done new studies (in August and posted on the ttc6+ months board) that state it can increase your risk of m/c by 80% - no wonder I didn't get pg the couple of months I did it.

Anyway - here's a link that might help:

Thanks for that Melinda... I wasn't sure if it was a good idea or not...

How are things going for you? :)
