Dear user, welcome to healthcare magic.
If you really had recurrent abortions, (more than three successive pregnancy losses), it will be wise to have heparin 5000 iu sc every 12 hours all through pregnancy, together with low dose aspirin.
I would reccomend this management even if the anticardiolipn is negative.
Heparin may be displaced by low molecular weight heparin which could be taken once daily for better compliance.
The history has a stronger evidence than the investigations in your case.
Diet and exercise are useful but not specifically to your case.
I hope these words were useful to you. Good luck.
