Gene Mutation caused for miscarriages - postive test result ..anyone have this?

HI everyone, I thought I would introudce myself. My name is Tracy and after 2 recurrent miscarriages my ob/gyn ordered a panel of bloodwork. Everything came out okay until I got this on my test:
RESULT: POSITIVE FOR ONE COPY OF THE C677T MUTATION
AND ONE COPY OF THE A1298C MUTATION

I dont know what all of this means right and am worried I will never get pregnant again and carry to term

I literally just found out today. I left a message for my ob/gyn to call me back as soon as they can. I found the lab results out online so I got them as soon as they came back.

Can anyone offer any advice on what to do until she calls back? I am really upset now to think I have something really wrong with me

Hey hun! You best bet is to google MTHFR also known as methylenetetrahydrofolate reductase. I work for a oncology/hematology office and I have seen a couple of women carry to full term! There are treatments for this. Good luck!

You should call the closest Genetics counclor and ask them what this means. I know they don't know your case, but tell them what you have and what it means. I'm kinda surprised that your OB/GYN didn't send you to a genetics Dr. anyway. I mean, that is what they do, that is their specialtly. I have had several m/c and had a child born with a nural tube defect, so they sent my husband and I up to get tested. Just look in the yellow pages and you should be able to find a genetic clinic. Ask to talk to a nurse or a councelor and maybe they can help you untill your Dr. calls you back.
I'm sorry you are going through this.
Keep us updated with everything. I hope it turns out to be nothing serious .You will be in my thoughts.
