Hey, I've been reading a few posts and asperin has been mentioned more than once....do tell, how is it beneficial and when should I take it, and how often? I thought it would be bad to use because doesn't it thin out your blood and wouldn't that be bad in regards to miscarrying... http://www.healthboards.com/ubb/confused.gif

Well, you're correct that it does thin out your blood. In my case, blood tests have shown an elevated level of antiphospholipids, which could cause clotting problems. What this basically means is that my blood may be too thick for sufficient nutrients to get to baby.
Unless you have a history of recurrent miscarriage, doctors usually won't even mention using aspirin.
Hope this helps.
