I got some interesting news yesterday. My OB's office called and told me I had tested positive for the C mutation of the MTHFR gene. I had originally had the blood drawn for the testing in September, and found out then that I was heterozygous (but I think I was told everything was negative). My OB had decided at that time to put me on the Folgard folic acid/B vitamin supplement in addition to prenatal vitamin and baby Aspirin daily. I am now being referred to a hematologist or blood doctor. My appointment is on Monday January 19th, so I have one more week to obsess and "research" online about this!!
One thing I'm not sure about is that I have never really had any miscarriages, just one chemical pregnancy 3 months in to TTC. Everything I read online talks about miscarriages being associated with MTHFR mutations. So, I don't know what this new doctor will tell me. The nurse said he would definately be putting me on the supplement and ASA that I'm already on, so we'll see.
I'm kind of happy to have something wrong with me, even if I've already been treating it and not having success. Maybe it's not even affecting our infertility. Time will tell. If anyone that reads this knows more about it, let me know!!
