my bleeding problems and baby aspirin

so since I am having such a bad time with bleeding and heavy AF's, wouldn't baby aspirin be a bad thing for me to be taking?  Any thoughts?  I am going to ask my doctor, but I was curious what everyone thought.

    i'm not sure about that, it's such a low dose i wouldn't expect to see heavier bleeding.  i have been on baby ASA and i haven't noticed a diff in my AF.  everyone's body is diff so it's a possibility. 

    wouldn't hurt to ask your dr, but if you are on it to prevent blood clots for your next pg then maybe it's worth it to just stay on it?  you might want to have your hemoglobin checked to see if you are losing too much blood.  you can always take 1oz of liquid chlorophyll a day to improve that.  the mint flavor tasts best.

    It doesn't hurt to ask your dr., but I couldn't imagine baby aspirin would affect how much you bleed, it just mildly thins the consistency.

    I have it checked every 6 weeks, that and my iron count.  I was having to get IV iron treatments(4 hours each time) every 3 weeks for a while too.  But, I am going to get it checked when I go in.

    They don't know for certain about the clotting, it was more of a pre caution, I wasn't sure if it would hurt either, but I will ask.

    I noticed that my AF the first time I had been taking baby aspirin for a while had much less clotting. My periods are usually pretty heavy and I get bad cramps and they have numerous clots. That one didn't have many clots at all and I had no cramping, but still pretty heavy. I don't know if that really had anything to do with it or not, haven't had another AF since that one.

    I still have a lot of clotting, larger clots.  I guess I didn't really realize that it would stop the clotting during the actual period.

    I'm not a doctor or an expert but I DEFINITELY noticed a reduction in clotting and the size of the clots as well during my period. I didn't really know it would do that either, but that's the only thing I can chalk it up to! I wasn't taking anything else at that time, not even my prenatals.
