MTHFR

When we had our miscarriage in the fall our doctor was amazingly thorough and ran a slew of blood work in addition to testing our little one. Through the blood work she did genetic testing and found that I am positive for two copies of C677T mutation or in more simple terms I have MTHFR. It's obviously an alphabet soup and if you are wondering what all this means it means two things

1) My body clots blood easily and we found that our miscarriage was the result of the baby not getting the blood it needed through the placenta.

2) SHOTS. Like injections, EVERY night!!

Now, my pet peeve is whiny pregnant ladies, so I am not going to say that it is TERRIBLE to get a shot every night but it certainly is not cupcakes and sunshine every night.

I am on 40 mL of Lovenox (a blood thinning injection) and a baby aspirin so that this bambino gets all the blood it needs.

I am a total wuss when it comes to the shots. I thought, "no biggie...I want this baby SO bad that I can do these shots every night." I can handle the injections when someone gives them to me. I absolutely cannot inject myself without shaking uncontrollably. ENTER- AMAZING HUSBAND! Adam (my injection buddy) is a champ and gives the shot to me every night. I am so thankful!! He is wonderful!

I am not thrilled that they go in my belly, and I wonder what's going to happen when I start to grow. The midwife told me not to worry, I'll be able to inject my belly all 10 months....and after. :)

Look at that needle!! SCARY!! hahaha


UPDATE: Adam was gone for the weekend and I was able to do the shots!! I cried (I have NO ability to self-harm) BUT, I rewarded myself with candy! Haha!

  1. Hello everyone!! I'm Marilyn Here in the States and I'm here to talk about what Dr. James did for me. I have been suffering from (GENITAL HERPES VIRUS) disease for the past 4 years and had constant pain and itching, especially in my private part. During the first year. This disease started circulating all over my body and  I have used Oregano oil, Coconut oil, Acyclovir, Val acyclovir, Acyclovir, and some other products and it really helped during my outbreaks but I totally got cured! From my HSV with a strong and active herbal medicine ordered from  Dr. James herbal mix and it completely fought the virus from my nervous system, and I was tested negative after 15 days of using  Dr. James herbal mix medicine. I'm here to let you all know that the herpes virus has a complete cure, I got rid of mine with the help of Dr. James herbal medicine.  I came across a testimony of Tasha, on the internet testifying about Dr. James, on how he cured Her of 7 years HSV 2. And she also gave the email address of  the great Dr. James  (drjamesherbalmix@gmail.com...]..., advising anybody to contact him for help on any kind of diseases that he would be of help with, so I emailed him telling him about me (HSV 2) he told me not to worry that I'm going to be cured!! Well, I never doubted him. I have faith he can cure me too, Dr. James prepared and sent me his herbal mix medicine made of roots and herbs which I took. In the first one week, I started experiencing changes all over me, after 15 days I drank his herbal mix medicine, I was totally cured. No more inching, pain on me anymore as Dr. James assured me. After some time I went to my doctor to do another test. The result came out negative. So friends my advice is if you have such disease or know anyone who suffers from it or any other disease like Alzheimer's Disease, Warts, Moles, Bipolar disorder, Shingles, HPV, HIV/AIDS, ALS, HBP, CANCER, NEPHROTIC SYNDROME HIV / AIDS, herpes cancer, Ovarian Cancer, Pancreatic cancers, bladder cancer, bladder cancer, prostate cancer, Glaucoma., Cataracts, Macular degeneration, Cardiovascular disease, Autism, Lung disease. Enlarged prostate, Osteoporosis. Alzheimer's disease, psoriasis, Tach Diseases, Lupus, Backache, dementia. Kidney cancer, lung cancer, skin cancer, skin cancer and skin cancer. Testicular Cancer, LEUKEMIA, VIRUSES, HEPATITIS, INFERTILITY., etc. you can contact  the great  one  directly on his........@ drjamesherbalmix@gmail.com  He is a good man, and He will help you.
