Appointment

I just called my OB/GYN.  I asked about getting a blood test and they decided that since I have MTHFR, that they wanted me to come in.  My appointment is at 3:00 tomorrow.  Everyone keep their fingers crossed and send me all kinds of sticky dust.  Like I said earlier, I am happy, scared, nervous, excited, just about any emotion possible for a person to feel.

Good luck!  

Don't want to sound stupid...but what is MTHFR? 

it might be a DUH moment after you tell me but right now I am not getting it!  LOL

You aren't stupid.  When I told my husband, he thought I was cussing him out.  I couldn't tell you what the letters mean because they are bigger than anything.  The easiest way to tell you is it is a blood clotting disorder.  My blood clots to much so I will have to do Lovenox injections.  They found this out after I lost my baby in September.  They think the reason I lost the baby is because a blood clot was lodged behind the placenta and that kept the baby from getting the nutrients it needed.  By doing the Lovenox, it should hopefully prevent this from happening again.

I hope everything goes well. Good luck.

Good luck...I hope the lovenox works for you!  It sounds freaky at first giving yourself injections - and don't forget to ask for a 'sharps' container from the dr to put the used needles in - but it's actually not too bad...though you will start getting black and blue from the injections.
