I had a few miscarriages and finaly 1 doctor suggested testing for thrombophilia. The test showed I have a homozygous Mthfr mutation but the factor V and factor VIII results showed up “Normal”. I was told to take folic acid every day but I still had another MC afterward so someone suggested I may need Heparin- Someone else told me that if the factor 8 levels were normal I don’t need heparin. IM SOOOOOO CONFUSED- Can someone help me make sense of all this??????? (Ps I do have healthy children already)

I hope the IVFexpert sees your question. She might be the only one on here that is familiar with all of this. If you are sure about the spelling, run a search, and see if any useful info pops up. Sorry I can’t be more help, and I wish you luck in your efforts.
These are all things you should discuss with your physician. If your regular OB/Gyn does not have enough information, you could be referred to a maternal-fetal medicine specialist or perinatologist for consultation. All of these clotting disorders are very confusing and you really need to talk to an expert to make sense of everything.
