MTHFR

Hi Ladies..I was diagnosed with the MTHFR C677T homozygous. Prior to be diagnosed, I had in 12/13, I an ectopic pregancy causing me to lose one tube. In 3/14, I miscarried at 4 weeks, in 7/14 I miscarried at 3 months. I spoke with my OBGYN and Hematologist and have been advised about going on Lovenox, baby asprin, and folic asprin prior to becoming pregnant. I would have to take it throughout my whole pregnancy including 6 weeks after the baby (hopefully) is born. I'm scared that we might do all this and there is no guarantees for a healthy pregnancy. Part of me wants to stop because I'm so scared. What have been other people's experience with Lovenox? Also, does it hurt? TIA!

MTHFR

After a few losses, I was diagnosed with multiple thrombophilias including MTHFR. My last 2 pregnancies I was on lovenox, heparin, baby aspirin, folic acid, and a vitamin B complex vitamin. I had fairly uneventful pregnancies and carried 2 healthy babies to term.

Lovenox isn't pleasant- but it isn't super painful. I had more pain and discomfort with the heparin injections, which I switched over to at 36wks.

Good luck and best wishes!!!

MTHFR

I have MTHFR 2 copies of c677T which Is one of the worst to have since the same copy. I had 2 M/C & then was doing tons of research....I read all these crazy things. I got prego with twins & went to a high risk Dr at winthrop. She advised to stop LOVENOX (I took until 12 weeks) I was scared out of my mind to stop...but did. My twins are now almost 3yrs (Oct) No Regrets!!! I did take the baby aspirin & folic acid.

Re: MTHFR

I also have MTHFR C677T homozygous. Had blighted ovum. Then discovered dr B, who guided me thru a successful pregnancy ( my son is lamost 3 now). Was on lovenox, aspirin, NEEVO and metanx all pregnancy and 3 months afterwards. You get used to daily Lovenox shots, it is doable. The result is worth it! GL
