There is hope. The diary of a traveling man who's wife is pregnant. She had had two miscarriages. DNA tests showed that she has a mutation on one of her MTHFR genes that likely caused blood clots in the placenta. Treatment with blood thinners and folic acid supplements resulted in the live birth of a beautiful baby boy. And now, we are pregnant again.

I find this blog and all of the reader comments very interesting, as I was diagnosed with homozygous MTHFR after having a miscarriage 1.5 years ago. I have since given birth to a full-term, healthy baby and during that pregnancy, they had me, like your wife, on folic acid. This was a "just in case" measure, as my homocysteine levels were found to be normal. I don't know if you've mentioned it before, but I was wondering if your wife had elevated or normal homocysteine levels? So much is said about MTHFR in relation to miscarriages when in fact it is the heightened homocysteine levels in the blood that seem to contribute to it. I'm just curious because you don't really hear people talking about homocysteine.
I also want to say congratulations on the second pregnancy. Hopefully you come up with a name soon!
