Thanks for the advice and reassurance guys. I am still feeling unsure about why everyone else who has tested +ve for MTHFR is on aspirin. My doc showed me a graph and said that my 'blood strength' was within normal limits - perhaps he menat the clotting strength?? He must know what I was thinking because when he replied to my Q about taking aspirin, he laughed as I was nodding in agreement and said 'yes, yes, three bags full Doctor and then you'll go out and start taking aspirin!!. I said of course I wouldn't but obviouslynow am beginning to wonder. I would ask for a second opinion but this guys is meant to be the top dog in m/c research in the UK a=so I guess that asking my GP is really not going to help and I don't know who else to ask.
Funny cos from what I have read on these forums the women in here are FAR more reliable sources of info than any GP!! Mine was been particularly useless - asked me when I went to confirm my third pregnancy if I had lost the previous one ! Given the dates I shoul;d ahve been 8 months pregnant so not the sharpest of cookies!
I've moved house now and so have a new GP that I still have to meet so might give her a go and see what she says.
Really useful to hear what other people have gone through/are going through with this. Good luck to you all, Janey
Thanks
