Sorry if this seems nosey, but I just noticed...Pam,<br />Sorry if this seems nosey, but I just noticed your reply here and thought I'd direct you to a good prenatal vitamin called NEEVO (they have a website). By supplementing extra folic acid, MTHFR-ers aren't really helping anything, because we have difficulties in breaking DOWN the folic acid into the form that is usable by the body (L-methylfolate). NEEVO, along with Metanx, have the actual "L-methylfolate" ingredient, and not folic acid. <br />Also, you should be on a baby aspirin daily, 81 mgs. In the future you may possibly need more aggressive anticoagulant therapy, but definately ask your Dr if you can start the baby aspirin now.<br /><br />Hope you don't mind me butting in ;) Fellow MTHFR-er, here.Amy @ This Cross I Embracehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04766112822487858490noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3086515951454178468.post-8744642042219505762010-02-11T10:46:37.085-06:002010-02-11T10:46:37.085-06:00JB, push for the MTHFR test if you want it.

My OB, who I went back to in December to have her make sure there wasn't anything my RE had missed, ran a battery of blood tests including the one for MTFHR. It didn't cost extra (I'm in T.O. as well) so I'm not sure what your Napro doctor had in mind. Regardless, it turns out that I'm heterozygous for MTHFR. It's not necessarily and answer for me, but it's a possible reason we haven't been successful, so I'm now on 5MG of folic acid daily. This is my post with the list of blood tests she sent me for http://baby-wanted-apply-within.blogspot.com/2009/10/doctor-visit-update.htmlPamhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03154636161249104743noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3086515951454178468.post-23455833970412449162010-02-11T09:07:58.822-06:002010-02-11T09:07:58.822-06:00I'm sorry you are feeling down.

It sucks that you've had so much in the past year that has prevented you from even trying. I hope your waiting is over soon. I'll be praying for you.mrsblondieshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04624922903281385565noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3086515951454178468.post-34243746961802489592010-02-11T02:31:54.934-06:002010-02-11T02:31:54.934-06:00Bonjour!

I am sorry you had a rough dr. appt. I seem to have this notion that doctors should be able to "fix" whatever is wrong with me and the fact that it is taking longer than expected...well, that is downright frustrating! (I figure - they got me through cancer, how hard could it be to cure infertility)..Ha, ha...I can just hear God laughing at all my dumb assumptions! :) Anyway, I will pray for you and in the absence of Nutella, maybe you can have some dairy free ice cream? :)Joy Beyond the Crosshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09418519519090894030noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3086515951454178468.post-88633828696387409382010-02-11T00:01:57.857-06:002010-02-11T00:01:57.857-06:00Ugh. I understand this feeling!
Yes it is very go...Ugh. I understand this feeling!<br /><br />Yes it is very good to remember that you are really still very early in all of this. Because we live in two week increments, that is easy to lose sight of. <br /><br />Even Dr. S reminded me that we are still early, and need to give my body more time to get itself sorted out!<br /><br />But I still am so very hopeful for you, and you are right where you need to be right now. <br /><br />I think increasing your dose of Femara sounds like a stellar idea, and I just know those hormones will get in line next cycle so that is something to look forward to! <br /><br />Even after our cycles begin to look normal, it can still take a very long time to conceive. <br /><br />Or not. (which is what I'm praying for in your case bc you've waited plenty long enough!!!)<br /><br />I try to avoid places where pregnant women flock to, even still. I don't think I will ever feel comfortable in a room full of fertiles. <br /><br />I hope and pray that the next cycle will not be stressful for you, and that you can really allow yourself to heal in the ways you need. You are on the right track!!LifeHopeshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16574486597928055997noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3086515951454178468.post-79614426818721521842010-02-10T22:56:05.784-06:002010-02-10T22:56:05.784-06:00Here's a hug and some prayers!

I just can't imagine anything different from what I know every month - disappointment and despair.<br />I've tried more recently to keep a more positive outlook, and I think it's been helpful overall - even just for my mental health. Stress is a killer on the hormones, that's for sure!<br />Weird, I used to get super excited about Ikea trips too, but have been a little put off by all the pregnant bellies and babies I've seen there lately. I hope you get your hands on some ice cream or something comforting :).

I left it alone, but then a few months later really urged her to order it, she did, and later said, "Hm, maybe I should test more of my IF patients for this..."<br /><br />My line of thinking is, why wait to have a loss to find out you possibly could have prevented it? I hope that NaPro makes the move in the future to do this testing for all their IF patients (not just recurrent m/c patients). <br /><br />I'm sorry you're so down. I'm there with ya. Hopefully spring will be a new awakening for us.
