The researchers at the University of Utah are looking into the possibility that daily low doses of aspirin may help women who have lost pregnancies in the past carry a baby to full term.

The thought is that low-dose aspirin may improve pregnancy outcomes by improving blood flow to the reproductive organs and the placenta and helping to thicken the uterine wall.

“This could have a favorable impact on several aspects of reproduction, including implantation, early pregnancy loss, stillbirth, pre-eclampsia, small-for-gestational-age fetus, placental insufficiency, and preterm birth,” said Robert M. Silver, M.D., principal investigator for the EAGeR study, professor and chief of the Division of Maternal-Fetal Medicine in the U’s School of Medicine.

The researchers are looking for women to join their study. If you are between 18 and 40 and have had one or two pregnancy losses and wish to become pregnant again may be eligible to participate in the study.
