and that diagnosis folks is.....
MTHFR (Methylenetetrahydrofolate reductase)
and in a nutshell if you haven't heard of it before...
it causes issues with absorption of folic acid, which possibly leads to Neural Tube Defects and/or Chromosomal abnormalities. If that wasn't enough for you it also increases homocysteine in the blood, which leads to increased clotting...which could throw a clot to the placenta, or just prevent a healthy placenta from developing.
Google it for better information...but these are my lay-peoples terms for it...and I can't even pronounce the condition!

ReplyDeleteI'm sorry. We were checked for this and I remember waiting for the results (and for the other results of the tests being run). There are specialists out there who can help you have a successful, healthy pregnancy. I know it's hard to think about, but there is hope. Sending you big hugs...
ReplyDeleteI'm glad that you've got a diagnosis, I just wish it was an easier one. Sorry for the bad news. I hope there are some folks in the community that can help you with your new diagnosis.
