Mthfr

Can anyone give me a little insight on this MTHFR? Is it as bad as it sounds. My doctor gave me this diagnosis three weeks ago and I have been obsessing over it ever since. I am afraid that I will not have a successful pregnancy. Any success stories with this condition?
Thanks

Daney, Well the doctor put me on Neevo which are the prenatal with a high amount of folic acid and b6 and b12 prior to IUI. He said I will need to that baby aspirin and lovenox as well. He hasn't instructed me to take them yet though. What kind of monitor do that do to make sure you rb;ood isn't yo thick or thin.

Just though I would reply don't panic you can check out my signature it's my story and what meds I was on. Oh later in my pregnancy I had to switch to heparin shots twice a day but it was well worth it!!!!!!!!!!
