I thought this might be the place to ask this question... if not Mods, please feel free to move it to the right place!
History: I've had 3 early miscarriages since Nov. 2007 and after lots of testing we recently discovered that DH has a chromosome inversion, which has been causing the miscarriages. Basically I've been getting pregnant with a combination of my apparently healthy eggs and his sometimes scrambled sperm. I say sometimes because we have a healthy daughter (conceived before any miscarriages.) We assumed we would just move on to donor insemination, but...
Then we have also discovered that I am homozygous for MTHFR C677T and I had my homocysteine level checked and it came back today - normal 6.0
Soooooo does anyone have any experience with this? Do I need to use the blood thinners during pregnancy in future even with a normal homocysteine level? Obviously I will be taking the required levels of folic acid, b6 and b12, and baby aspirin required, but if possible I would love to avoid Lovenox. I feel like the combination of needing to use donor sperm AND Lovenox would undue me.
I have an appt. in a couple weeks with my OB, but I would love any guidance any of you have.
