Miscarriages: I am wondering if you know your MTHFR 677 and 1298 genes. Methylation issues due to variations (SNPs/single nucleotide polymorphisms) can increase your risk for miscarriage and birth defects. If nothing else, I would at least recommend eating uncooked dark leafy greens twice a day. Patients with MTHFR issues may need to avoid regular Folic Acid and regular B12, and stick to methylated forms.
