    I recently found out I have MTHFR too. My first 2 pregnancies were fine. Now I'm on my third. I'm taking methyl folate pills but no injections

    I have one copy of the MTHFR gene and can't remember which one, the one that affects folic acid absorption.  I have taken extra folic since my diagnosis and this is my third pregnancy since finding out.  I also take a daily aspirin as I was told it can put you at a higher risk for heart attacks. 

    I have used lovenox during my pregnancies but that is because I had a DVT, not because of the MTHFR.  My hematologist would not have prescribed Lovenox for MTHFR.

    Secondary infertility success with IVF, then two losses, one at 14 weeks and one at 10 weeks, then success with IUI and then just pure, crazy luck.  Expecting our fifth in May as the result of a FET.
