Mthfr

[Starlight288]

Anyone here know a lot about this gene mutation?? I stumbled across a article about migraines and Mthfr. So I started looking more info up. I then went back to look at some of my blood work while pregnant.

I found in my ob panel that my MCH/MCV were listed as being high. So I look that up and it talks about folate deficiency/b12 deficiency. Does anyone know if this is true or if these acronyms are what are looked at when looking at a Mthfr mutation?

I'm sorry I have no information for you, but I'm interested in finding out more, as well. I've seen women on this board talk about that gene mutation before.

Thank you for your reply. Hopefully we can both find more info.

I have mthfr homozygous a1298c, meaning I have two copies of the same mutation.
My doctor put me on 81mg asprin daily, and I take a special prenatal with active forms of folate, and B vitamins. And I eat veggies high in folate.
The prenatal I take is emerald laboratories prenatal.
Also with MTHFR you must avoid folic acid in foods, and supplements because it blocks absorbtion of the active folate.
Folic acid is a man made chemical that people with MTHFR can't absorb, It is toxic to us.

I do not know what MCH/MCV is sorry.

Hope I could help some.
