Homozygous MTHFR (trigger mention)
This is my 4th pregnancy but hopefully my 2nd living child
We just found out after my last loss that I have both MTHFR mutations. (Homozygous, worst case scenario) This explained a lot, however...
This time, we wanted to treat it for a while and get my homocysteine levels normal before getting pregnant again.
Well......we accidentally got pregnant and I don’t we want to lose this baby.
I’m taking L methyl folate, eating healthy, avoiding folic acid and my doctor is about to give me the daily injections to prevent blood clots to the placenta. Is there anything else I can do?
I heard that some women take baby aspirin to help with blood clotting. But I won’t do that until I talk to my doctor.
Should I avoid metals like iron?
Thanks a lot!
