Question about MTHFR

[ldivecch5]

Hello all...I have a question:  Does anybody have MTHFR and if so, have you had any complications?  I found out I had MTHFR after my first m/c (I've had 3 m/c's) and my doctor put me on extra folic acid which I have been taking daily even when I wasn't pregnant.  I've read some other sites where some women have problems with their pregnancies around their 5th-6th month....I am currently 12.3 weeks.  
Thanks!

my kids r 14& 8 but I lost my baby because of MTHFR  I was not diagnosed untill after my m/c. I tried getting pregnant 4 ,many years after my daughter, I had a total 8 m/c they were very very early thank God ,my son was the hardest 2 go through ,I saw his,  little heartbeat , so if this helps one family 2 not go through a loss than i want 2 let people know, I was put on heprin but i RECOMEND LOVANOX ,HEPRIN IS 2 SHOTS A DAY LOVANOX IS ONLY ONE. BY THE GRACE OF GOD ,I carried my son he was early but very healthy.  I was rhneg, so that was another reason 4 the bloodthinners. u can get tested by a hematologist,they will recomend the right treatment . u can have 1gene passed down by 1 parent or u can have 2 were both parents pass down the gene 2 u. it's really good 2 go to a specialist so they can recommend the right treatment 4 u & your baby.my prayers r with u.

Thanks for your response Glenda306.  My sister and dad have Factor 11 which is where their blood doesn't clot.  I was negative for that.  I see a specialist tomorrow so he may put me on aspirin at that time.  I have been taking a prenatal vitamin and folic acid daily.

I have MTHFR and Factor V Leiden.  I had 2 healthy pgs, a m/c, another healthy pg, another m/c, and now I'm 19w5d pg again.  My clotting disorders were discovered after my 2nd m/c and shortly after my sister (same dr) developed a blood clot in her lung from a hospitalization.  Are you on low-dose aspirin or another blood thinner?  My dr put me on low-dose aspirin and Metanx (a specially metabolized form of folic acid and 2 other B vitamins).  MTHFR can cause a clot to form at any time, but I don't know of any particular diificulty during the 5th or 6th months.  Best wishes.
