I agree with Elizabeth - insist that your doctor check your progesterone levels and see if you need to supplement. The aspirin may help but without knowing if you fall within that low % of people who really need it, it is hard to predict. From what I have heard, it can't really hurt. I think the progesterone is the most important. Good luck.
