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.
