Pregnancy Info HOME

Hi, I am hetero C677T, so not as much a problem but I've still been taking the aspirin, b6, b12, folic 5mg and omega 3 combo for some time. I also did lovenox this pregnancy just as a precaution. I personally don't put too much stock in the homocysteine levels thing because I've done so much reading that shows women all having "normal" levels yet keep miscarrying. Then when put on blood thinners they mysteriously go on to have babies. Coincidence? I don't think so, but doctors don't have enough hard evidence and studies to go on so most will stick with the "if your homocysteine levels are fine then so are you" line.....I'm just not convinced that most of the docs out there know all that much about this. Maybe a handful of specialists, but that's it. My primary care doc didn't even KNOW what MTHFR was!!!!! I was floored! Also, I noticed that many women who had babies early on and have this mutation have problems later on once they get in their 30s so I'm interested in knowing how much age plays into it.....
