Prenatal with C677T MTHFR

I am trying to research whether it would be okay to stay on an OTC prenatal or if I should consider finding a prenatal that would be helpful with having one copy of the gene mutation. I was just told yesterday that I tested positive for the mutation after having 2 miscarriages this past year (one in May 2013 and the last 7w5d ago with a T21 baby girl). I also was told I have hypothyroidism and was started on Synthroid as of today. I also was told it would be okay to take baby aspirin.

    I also have the hetero mutation for c677t mthfr. I take Thorne Prenatal because it has the bio-available form of folic acid.  I also supplement with extra bio-avail folate and b-6 and b-12.

    My family doctor told me that I didn't need to take anything other than my prenatal. I'm going to ask my RE at our next appt though because I've done my own research and it looks like I should be taking extra folic acid and a baby aspirin from what others have posted.
