I've never heard age could be a factor, but it would help explain why I had my first two kids with no problems since I was 23 and 25 when they were conceived but 31 when I conceived Cooper. And the homocysteine thing is so confusing, all docs seem to have different theories on it. But I guess the whole genetic testing thing is pretty new so there are no long term studies out there to show the docs what is best. I have done some research on my own on Lovenox and most studies have shown that it does help reduce m/c and pregnancy loss so I'm not going to complain. And I've also looked into ba and all the studies I have found showed an increased pregnancy rate for women who were on it. But I don't think I should stop it either while I'm on the Lovenox although I was told to, as I've heard it actually crosses the placenta whereas the Lovenox doesn't. Urggh its so confusing. Stefkay how are you doing? You're getting close to the 3rd trimester right? Cloud9climber, l would be interested to hear what your rheumatologist says. All my autoimmune testing came back neg. but maybe he has more insight on the MTHFR too. I'm so sorry for your losses. But it is hopeful when we are armed with knowledge this time around.
