Your temperature is well within normal for you in that little difference. Progesterone would make your basal temp a little higher if you were low. Aspirin will affect your circulation and thus your clot time, but not your temperature. You are going to have a VERY long 9 months if you take your temperature every day and worry about a small difference like that. Cortisol is very very very bad for your baby (and not so great for you) and is released when you are worried or similarly upset. Try meditation and or visulation to help you move past the anxiety over miscarrying. I know it sounds impossible but its one of the best things you can do that you have absolute control over. Best wishes to you with this pregnancy.
