Blood Results

Michael and I had some blood work done, our first round was chromosomal testing to make sure that they were normal, we got those results back on our vacation and they were normal, which is good. I then had to have more testing, which I had when we got back from vacation and just got the results back yesterday afternoon. They took 12 tubes of blood from me and were testing all kinds of things that I cant remember, some blood clotting and autoimmune stuff. All of my tests came back nornal except for one. I have 2 copies of a genetic mutation, nice word huh? Is called METHYLENETETRAHYDROFOLATE REDUCTASE, for short its "MTHFR". From my understanding this is what has been causing my miscarriages. I am not sure what all of this means, they have me on baby asprin and foltex or something, which is just more vitamins and follic acid. They have scheduled me to see a Perinatologist on the 17th, I will have more answers then. I guess this doctor treats the fetus and complicated pregnancies. We are not sure if this is a big deal or not at this point, he will go over all my results with us and go from there. So feel free to brush up on your Biology if you like, hehe. Like I said we will know more on the 17th when we meet with this specialist. Keep you posted, we are still set to start IVF in November.
