i am sad to say i am joining this as well.
I just wanted to share my story with you ladies, with hope that i can find piece and some reassurance here, at least find women that i can relate too.
My husband and i witnessed our first loss in February of 2008 @ 9 weeks and i found that was due to a partial molar pregnancy.
In September 2011 our son Adam Elijah was brought into the world and he is our true blessing from God.
We found out we were expecting again in August of 2012 and we were so excited that we were going to be bringing another life into the world and that our son was going to be a big brother. We found that we were going to be having a girl and i was so happy and couldn't believe it that i was going to finally have my little girl that i could put in dresses and do her hair i was so excited. I had a normal pregnancy somewhat except i had pre-term contractions like i did when i was pregnant with my son but they started much earlier this time. Around 30 weeks i started having mild cramping and i didn't think much of it because it was severe and also when i was about 31weeks pregnant i started dilating with my son. I ended up going to the doctor the next day only to find out that our beautiful baby girl had no heartbeat. Our daughter Grace Nicole Gray was born on February 14th 2013 and went to be with Jesus. She was sweet and perfect in every way and look just like her big brother. This was the hardest thing that our family has ever had to go through. About 6 weeks later mt doctor told me that i was diagnosed with MTHFR a gene mutation and from what i have been reading im not the only one who suffers from this. I would like sometime in the future to get pregnant again and i know that if my husband and i are meant to have another baby that God will bless us with one. Thank you for letting me share my story with you.

Huge hugs to you. I also have MTHFR (compound - one of the A gene and one of the C gene). I was diagnosed after our second loss. I currently take extra folic acid, B-complex with B-12 and B-6, a Baby Aspirin in addition to my regular prenatal. Some doctors give prescriptions that have the same ingredients in them.
We also have a daughter, Grace who is now in Heaven. It is such a beautiful name. I am so sorry that you find yourself here on this board but please know that you have come to a very supportive and understanding group. You are in my thoughts and prayers.
