Question for those with gene mutations
I had trouble conceiving my DS. I had 2 miscarriages. After 2 years we conceived him via injectables with IUI's. I went for a regular physical last week and the PA asked if I wanted the MTHFR gene tested. I said sure, whats the harm. He called yesterday to say I came back with 2 gene mutations. One A and one C mutation (can't remember the #s after them). If you had this, what was the protocol going forward? They mentioned going to a hematologist, is that necessary? We were going to try on our own for a while, now I am not sure

Re: Question for those with gene mutations
I have this...
Since you carried your other pregnancy fine with no clots/issues, that's a great sign. I was told to take baby aspirin and lovenox in pregnancy, but I have many other issues besides the two copies of MTHFR so you may not need the aspirin AND the lovenox, for example.  Just ask Dr.B. I don't see a hematologist for my issues. I saw one once and she looked at me like I was nutty. 
eta: Ohhh I forgot, metanx. You will probably be told to take that.... it's a form of folic acid. It's just a pill.

Oh Jackie don't you remember Dr.B told me I "could" take baby asprin if I wanted LOL. I took it the whole time based on my craziness, now I am glad I am so crazy
