MTHFR and normal homocysteine levels

[murfirhea]

I  have had 3 miscarriages in the last year. I tested positive for compund heterozygous MTHFR. My homocysteine levels came back normal. Could MTHFR still be causing me to lose my babies even if the homocysteine is normal? I have started taking 1mg of folic acid, and B6 &B12. I have also been taking baby aspirin. Any thoughts? Anyone experience the same thing?  MY dad  had normal homocysteine levels and died from what we believe was a clot to the heart.  He had no congenital defect and or heart disease.  He was 37.  So I'm freakin a bit.  Any help is appreciated!

If you are having a problem with blood clots dont eat green veggies, I know that sounds crazy but there is a vitamin in it that causes you blood to be thick...(my nanny was on blood thinners and a strict diet)

I also have MTHFR and I suffer from hypothyroidism.  I have had two miscarriages in the last 8 months.  I also am on a baby aspirin and 4 mg per day of folic acid plus a prenatal vitamin.  I do have a 3-1/2 year old son.  I do think the MTHFR is a factor, however, it was something I had when I conceived my son, but did not know it. So I don't think it is impossible to have a successful pregnancy. But the miscarriages are devastating.

I to tested normal for homocysteine and still continue to have misscarriages.  My little sister did the same thing and she has a happy and very healthy 3 year old.  I guess it just depends on the person.  But I was told to take 2.5 mg of Folic acid and 1 mg of b-12 and 50 mg of b-6, 1 pernatal a day, plus the baby asprin.  So I guess it just depneds on your doctor. This is all stuff my sister did and she got pregnant with my nephew 3 months after starting this regiment.  I just started so I do not know what it is going to do for me.  Good luck and lots of baby dust to you.
