I posted this on the infertility board as well.. hoping I'll soon make my way over to this board as we start TTC again around Feb.!

Hi Girls. I went to see Dr Kofinas after my BW that I did for him.

Wow what a night. I was at his office for close to 3 hours.

He found some things in my blood work. He found I have compound heterozygous (rather uncommon) MTHFR Gene Polymorphism. That means my body isnt' breaking down folic acid; so I'll have to go on Metanex basically for the rest of my life.

In addition to that he found thrombophilias; the PAI-1 Gene Polymorphism Homozygous 4G/4G. I'm writing this all down in case some of you are familiar with it. It puts me at a high pre-disposition for diabetes later in life and also gestational diabetes so I have to take Metaformin 2x daily. Then once we start TTC again after I ovulate I"ll need the Lovenox.

He is also putting me on Eskimo 3 fish oil, baby aspirin, vitamin D3, an organic prenatal, N-Acetyl Cysteine, and Pearl IC probiotic!!!!!!!!!

So it was a bit overwhelming getting all this information and the many pills I"ll be popping... but he seems confident and even though I was nervous with all the news he acted like it wasn't such a big deal.

He also recommended continuing to go to acupuncture and he recommended his own person that he likes.

So.. that's that. If anyone has a similar diagnosis or experiences with this, please let me know!
