cartia is low dose aspirin - and basically acts as a blood thinner. There are quite a number of girls here who take cartia.

clexane also acts as a blood thinner/stabaliser and basically is to help some people with specific blood issues fall pregnant and maintain a pregnancy.

Sometimes if you have too many platelets for example, you get blood clots which can cause problems in the placenta and cause a m/c - and the clexane is supposed to help with this.

that is my understanding anyway.

If you are unsure about why you are to be taking these - ask your FS. It is important that you know and understand why you are taking such things.

Good luck
