Hi ladies! As y'all might know, last cycle ended up with my second chemical pregnancy unfortunately and my OB was nice enough to draw labs for me even though I only had 2 when most of the time they wait for 3. I am homozygous for a MTHFR mutation, which is a clotting disorder, and can cause multiple misscarriages. Anyways, I had a call into my OB last Thursday after researching this on-line and I finally got to talk to someone today. A different OB was in the office, and he said that this is a "gray area" when I asked about being on aspirin and/or lovenox and he is referring me to a perinatologist! Woohoo! There is only one in Fresno, unfortunately, but they're going to get me an appointment, and I can discuss it with her. I'm going to take low-dose aspirin in the meantime, even though he said he wasn't sure about my needing it while TTC, only that it would be a good idea when pregnant. So yay for something getting done...or at least in the process of being accomplished!!!

This rocks! I'm actually hetero for MTHFR (so not as severe) but my perinatologist put me on low dose aspirin, really high folic acid and high B vitamins. Keep us posted!

At least you have some answers. Hopefully you can get into to see the perinatologist soon.

That's great! Glad your doctor is getting you the referral.
