getting pregnant withMTHFR A1298C Hetero

[Kawtar]

I am 35years old. I have had 3 IVF to tryon having a baby..3 failures. I have been recently diagnosed with 1 copy MTHFR Heterozygote A 1298C. Pleas I am lost and very scared...should I see a gentician or an hematologist to help me with a tretment to help conceive.

Does this mutation really interfere with conceiving and how.

Should I take low doses of aspirins or heparine...?

Please give me some help.
Thank you

I have MThfr as well. I went through IVF as well, we were successful last summer.

The MTHFR does not interefer with conceiving the problem is with miscarraiges because it can cause a fatal blood clot to the baby.

I have my mthfr from one parent. I took a baby aspirin and extra folic acid. Additionally when we completed the IVF that was successful I took an injectable blood thinner called arixtra through the first trimester. Also, I was monitored by a hematologist every couple weeks to make sure my blood didn't get too thick.

Hope this helps. You can email me if you have anymore questions, ***@****

Hope I didn't cause anymore fears for you. This is all so stressful. It is good they know before hand because they can prevent things from happening. The first time I went to the ER for cramping during my pregnancy they were thrilled I knew about it because that meant I could take precautions. Some people have multiple miscarraiges before they discover why they happened. Good luck!

Sorry you are scared. I have compound heterozygous MTHFR. This means I got it from both parents. I am taking baby aspirin and extra folic acid. No one has told me if this makes it hard to conceive or just a risk of miscarriage - or both.

If you do a search on this forum you may get another point of view. Some people post questions in non-pregnancy forums.

Take care.
