MTHFR mutation?

Question

I have a nearly three year old now and have had two miscarriages since then. I had testing which revealed I have the MTHFR mutation (homozygous), so they’re putting me on 5mg daily of folic acid instead of 400mcg.
Does anyone else have experience of this? It’s weird that it wasn’t an issue with my son so I don’t know if it is relevant to the miscarriages or if they were just random. I’m also hypothyroid.

Answer

I could of wrote this. I had my daughter with no issues and when she was two we were excited to give her a sibling. We’ve had nothing but loss since. I’m currently experiencing my 6th miscarriage.  I ever make it past 5/6 weeks. I do have MTHFR mutation. Did you ever get any answer or go on to have a successful pregnancy?!

Answer

I am sorry to hear you are going through this. I have a healthy 18 month old and my husband and I have been trying to conceive for the past six months. We had two chemical pregnancies in a three month period during that time and before having our 18 month old we had a trisomy 18 pregnancy. I too am trying to make sense out of all of this. They ran some blood work for clotting issues but they came back normal and now we are waiting for my MTHFR mutation test and the chromosome test they did on my husband and I. It sucks not knowing what is going on and I feel really hopeless because reproductive endocrinology department won’t see me unless I have had three chemicals. I don’t know why they are not considering my trisomy 18 pregnancy as a loss too. I hope you get the answers you need and that your husband and you will be able to conceive soon and have another healthy pregnancy. Keep us posted on this.
