Got my third blood test back..

And my hcg levels are at 1502! That's like a lot, right??? They almost tripled since Tuesday. I am at 17DPO today aka around 4 weeks (I think). My progesterone is also at 47.

Anyway-- everything is looking good, but some of my blood work came back borderline in regards to blood clotting/bleeding-- like one value below abnormal. So, my RE referred me to a high risk OB/GYN to get their opinion if I need to do some other treatment plan. In her opinion, she wouldn't, but she wants me to talk to someone who knows more than her.

She also told me I have some mutation-- something like MHER-- sounded like that, but I have no clue what it is-- and that I should take an additional 400 to 800 mch of Folic Acid (on top of my pre-natal).

I also get to have my first ultra sound in the next week or two-- when is the earliest you can hear at HB?

Anyone have experience with the blood issue or folic acid issue??

Re: Got my third blood test back..

P4of 47 is normal. I have MTHFR and am on a special vitamin called Metanx that has 2400 mg of FA plus B vitamins. I am also on Lovenox since I have some other clotting factors. Are you homo or heterozygous(one copy of the gene or two?)There are also 2 variations I have C677T. The other-is it low protein C?

Thanks--- I don't have PCOS, although they did check for it, as well as my thyroid. She didn't mention anything about the B vitamins.

As for the blood tests--- I just got the high level results over the phone. I am picking everything up on Tuesday, and I assume I will go over the results in detail with the high risk doctor. Hopefully I can get an appt quickly-- but at the very least, everything else seems to be progressing well.
