To anyone who has been tested for MTHFR, were you tested for both C677T and A1298C genes? I see the test for C677T is Medicare rebateable, but can't see if A1298C is. My GP doesn't know if it is.
I was tested for 2 variations, but can't exactly remember what two they were
Did you get tested for anything else with it
Sorry can't remember . I don't think so though. It was 8.5yrs ago
Who organised the test and how long did the results take? I can't get in to see my GP for a while.
It was done through the obstetrician I was seeing at the time, and picked up late in my pregnancy with Lachlan
If you were found to have MTHFR, we're you prescribed 5-MTHF instead of folic acid? If so, how much and where did you source it? Is it available OTC in Australia or do you need a prescription? I can see it's available online from the states. Are you taking anything else, like B6, B12, baby aspirin or whatever?
I had to take folate and vitamins B12 and B6. With my next pregnancy I was put on baby aspirin.
How long did you take any of this before TTCing again? I've been told different things. One person says 1 month, another says 3 months.
Did a MTHFR affect life insurance if you have it?
I don't have life insurance
TIA
