Aspirin may help women with recent pregnancy loss conceive and have a baby. A new study published in The Lancet finds that a daily low dose of aspirin increases the chance of conceiving and having a live birth in women who have suffered a single recent pregnancy loss.
While the study results are interesting, they don't change U.S. recommendations. As set forth by the U.S. Preventive Services Task Force, people whose risk of heart attack is 5% over five years (or 10% over 10 years) should take one baby aspirin every day.Those whose five-year risk of a heart attack is 3% probably also would benefit.ow-dose aspirin is known to reduce the risk of heart attack in high-risk patients. It also seems to help lower high blood pressure, but studies looking at this effect yield confusing results.
