You have cut out the caffeine, and made sure you are in the ideal weight range. Now there is one more thing you can do to both increase your chances of conceiving and decrease your chances of miscarriage. It is as easy as adding a tiny pill to your daily routine of a prenatal pill and folic acid. Taking a baby aspirin (81 mg) everyday during pregnancy may help prevent miscarriage, researches say.

Many women that have recurrent miscarriages have extremely high levels of antiphospholipid antibodies. These proteins increase your chances of blood clots. Pregnant women with this issue can miscarry because the blood clots form around the placenta, depriving the fetus of oxygen and nutrients. Aspirin, an acetylsalysic acid, works prevents blood clots because of its anticoagulative properties.

In addition, women undergoing IVF are almost twenty percent more likely to become pregnant if they are on aspirin therapy.

Discuss this with your doctor before undergoing an aspirin routine. Do not take aspirin if you have hemophilia, an allergy to NSAIDs, or have stomach bleeding.
