UPI: Study to look at whether aspirin aids conception, successful pregnancy

An article distributed by UPI reports UB has begun a clinical trail to test whether aspirin can improve a woman's chances of becoming pregnant and maintaining a pregnancy to term, and quotes Jean Wactawski-Wende, associate professor of social and preventive medicine. "In women who have had their first miscarriage, the reasons for losing that pregnancy are in many instances unknown," she said. "These women generally are advised to get pregnant again, but health-care providers can offer limited assistance on any specific actions to take to improve their next pregnancy outcome -- if aspirin can help some women become pregnant or maintain a healthy pregnancy, it will be a critically important finding."
