I haven't forgotten to post....just waiting on next visit which has been bumped AGAIN to Nov. 25th. Will post more when I find out......by the way, Caitlin's sister is still progressing nicely with this pregnancy on lovenox shots for the MTHFR. As I write this post, she is 20 weeks pregnant and the baby is measuring 21 weeks! YEA!
At Courtney's last OB visit, I told her doctor how disappointed I was not to find an OB close to us that treated MTHFR patients aggressively like he does. He said not to worry, I could fly (or drive 7 hours) Caite to his office for a consult when she is ready to try for a baby. With a family history of this blood disorder and miscarriages, he would be willing to start her on the same medication (blood thinner) regime. Then send her back to her regular OB. He stated that once a doctor starts a prescribed medication regime, it would be less likely that her regular OB would change it.....Hopefully by the time she is ready to start a family, she will have an OB close to home with this research under his/her belt and willing to do the same so we can avoid the long distance consult. Time will tell. At least we have plan B.
