    While TTC - baby aspirin and extra folic acid (folgard minus the B vitamins)

    Starting the day of ET - all of the above plus I started on lovenox that day and am still taking one shot a day through pregnancy.

    Me: 37 DH: 40 TTC since 9/09
    #1 BFP 1/10/11; missed m/c discovered 7w5d
    IF Dx: Endo, hetero MTHFR mutation, poor morphology
    #1 IUI: 1/18/12 = BFN
    #1 IVF/ICSI 4/2/12 = 2 x 7-cell and 1 x 5-cell transferred (3dt) = BFP!!
    H was born at 41w2d on 12/29/12 - be still my heart!
    #2 IVF/ICSI 1/19/14 = 2 x 8 cells transferred (3dt) = BFP!! EDD 10/09/14

    I have 2 copies of c677t. Prior to getting pregnant I took 4mgs of folic acid, and after ET I started 81mgs of aspirin. 

    Both my RE and OB were against Lovenox. Not sure why since I've seen others that have hetero copies or only one copy on it.

    During TTC I was on Lovenox and folic acid; once pg I was switched to BA for a little while, then only the folic acid.

    I was put on baby asprin, folgard once a day and lovenox 5 days before transfer.  After  pg everything stayed the same except folgard was increased to twice a day.  The cycle we did this protocol was our successful cycle!

    I was on folgard before and started lovenox three days before transfer. I am currently on folgard, lovenox (60 mg), and baby aspirin. I also have lupus anticoagulant in addition to MTHFR.

    I only have a single gene mutation for MTHFR, so there is not thing that has to be done. My doctor strongly recommend I take Folgard.

    Thanks ladies. I have a friend who has the signle gene mutation and her dr. wasn't going to have her take anything other than PNVs.  I was wondering if that's normal?  She's had multiple m/cs.

    Folgard and baby aspirin...my homocysteine levels have always checked out within normal range so the MTHFR really hasn't been a factor even though I have double mutation.  (BTW, I do go to the hemotologist every 6 months to have my homocysteine levels checked and will continue to do so during my pregnancy.)
