If i am compound heterozygous for the mthfr gene, what kind of treatment will i receive when trying to conceive? i've had one stillborn son.

CONTROVERSY: Some rei drs recommend anticoagulation therapy anywhere from a baby Aspirin daily tpo Lovenox (enoxaparin) or Heparin injection until you deliver. Also, if you are mthfr deficient, taking l-methylfolate supplements (deplin) may be very helpful in decreasing depression and post-partum blues.

Controversy: The pathology community is divided over mthfr testing. I'm undecided. A majority of people who take the test will be told they have an 'abnormal' result and are therefore in need of special supplements which they may then be offered by the folks who have done the test. Talk with your own physician and if necessary an authentic genetic counsellor.
