Well Derek and I met with a genetic counselor and a specialist this afternoon and had a great visit. They both feel the MTHFR was not a factor in this miscarriage because my homocysteine levels are under control. We feel soooo much better because they were very reassuring that this was not the cause and should not cause reoccuring miscarraiges. They felt if we were to have another it would be because of something else that I have not yet been tested for or some other complication that has not been identified. I feel like a huge weight has been lifted because at least we can move forward and not worry so much about the next pregnancy. Of course I'm going to worry, but at least now I don't feel like a negative outcome is certain. We can take our chances and if something does happen again, we'll just know that there are other factors coming into play and move forward with more rigorous testing from there.
Just wanted to give everyone an update! We are going to start trying again, but probably will not be announcing the next pregnancy at 4 weeks - lol. So stay posted and hopefully I'll be posting back here on a regular basis in a few months. Fingers crossed!
