Pregnancy Info HOME

I googled "MTHFR miscarriage" and got an article called "Ask a genetist". The woman had muliple m/c. She was asking about extra folic acid (above and beyond prenatals) to prevent micarriages. The genetist went on to explain how higher doses of folic acid and blood thinners have been used in woman who have MTHFR, but would not be increase positive outcome if she did not have this mutation. Also, was this test part of karyotyping? How did you find out you had this? I was not aware of this problem. I am always very curious about this type of stuff since I don't buy into the "really, really, bad luck" theory my doctor keeps throwing at me.
