Hello! Recently found out I have 2 MTHFR variants. I have had 2 previous pregnancy losses, 1 at 12 weeks (which we assumed was just genetic issues at the time) and 1 just before 4 weeks, which is what led to the diagnosis.

My OB is really pushing me to get on blood thinners for my next pregnancy, but they also haven’t done anything to see if blood clotting is the actual issue or if I just need to increase my folic acid.

I’m curious to hear from others what the success rate is without them or what alternatives you were given! I’ve tried to discuss with my doctor but she is very pushy and I haven’t found a new office yet.

Anybody else get recommended Lovenox but have a fear of needles? I know it’s so worth it and a small price to pay in the long run, but mentally I just get so much anxiety thinking about having to do daily injections, even if my husband helps.

For those with MTHFR mutations, have you taken Lovenox or was there anything else your doctor recommended?
