I'm happy to hear your happy story!  My RE acted like this wasn't that big of a deal but reading everybody's stories has me worried.  My homocysteine levels aren't high so he doesn't seem too concerned.  He just told me I am heterozygous MTHFR...I think that's a 2 gene mutation...I'm not sure about the c677T thing...do you know if that is homozygous or heterozygous MTHFR?   Thanks for the words  of encouragement!

I don't want to jinx anything, but I am currently 24+weeks pg with twins. I have one copy of each of the mthfr genes. I am being monitored regularly and so far all is well with my boys. They are even measuring big for their gestational age!

I am doing folgard (folic acid and b vitamin mix), ba, prenatal, and I did 12 weeks of Lovenox.

It can and does happen!

I have the same gene mutation as yours. My doc prescribed me VitB-6, B-12, baby aspirin, and folic acid, and said go ahead and get pregnant. I got prgnant and miscarried. He sent me to a perinatologist who said you have to be on all those vitamins AT LEAST 3 months before you try to get pregnant. I waited for 6 months. I got pregnant. He also prescribed me progesterone. I had morning sickness all day long, was tired and sleepy all day long. I was sure everything was ok.
On my first appointment they told me the fetus is too small for the gestational age. More likely it died. I have my second sonogram tomorrow to confirm it.

When I asked my perinatologist what is the rate of livebirths with such jene mutation, he said 99.9%. I have been on different forums and have never met anyone, who actually had a baby with this jene mutation. I don't know if these girls stop writing after they have a baby or there are no any?..

Wishing you luck and I want your story have a happy ending.

I am heterozygous MTHFR...I think the compond one...2 gene mutation...does that mean compound??  My RE recommended I see a genetic counselor.  My homocysteine levels are good.  I am taking folbic on top of prenatals.  Folbic gives you extra folic acid and vitamin B6 and B12.  I am also taking one baby aspirin a day.

See a reproductive endocronologist or hemotologist for a consult...even if you have to pay for the initial visit out of pocket, you will at least be armed with information about your specific diagnosis. I am not sure if the army has such specialties, but maybe you can find one willing to refer you?

You will most likely need special medications to help you maintain a pregnancy, especially in the second and third trimeters. Your variation is the most severe, so you should be an advocate for yourself and your babies.

I wish you luck!
