MTHFR mutated gene

littlemagen&ben

I have the gene mutation and iv been on lovnox injections the entire pregnancy. I'm 37 weeks and it has always been the plan to induce at 38, just wondering if anyone else is in the same boat. I would love to hear your stories.

If there is no one on here that can help you may find similar stories on the high risk board!

I remember in the beginning that some people posted about this. I only remember because I think some said it looked like the mother f'er gene. I hope you can find support/stories. Maybe try searching and then PM the people who posted that have it (if you can find any!) good luck!

My husband is the carrier of the MTHFR gene. I luckily did not have the gene but we had several miscarriages before and they are unsure if that gene had something to do with them. I don't take anything that has folic acid in it nor does my husband. We strictly take folate instead. So no, I am not in your situation but am familiar with the severity of what you are going through.

My brother has it as well and he and his wife have been struggling to get pregnant. It's an ongoing joke in our family calling it the Mother F***** Gene

I was seriously wondering what gene OP was talking about and simply assumed that she was referring to it as the motherF***ing gene because she was frustrated.

I'm sorry, I had to Google this to find out what this gene did, etc, and that sounds really unfortunate. But this comment totally made me laugh.

I'm hoping all goes well with you and baby! Sounds like you're doing well with your medical team so hang in there!
