Undiagnosed Recurrent Miscarriages

I'm a recurrent miscarriage sufferer.

To be honest, I'm beginning to loose count. I think it's been 11, with a couple of failed IVFs thrown in, I'm now onto my 14th either miscarriage or failed IVF. Though, I guess it isn't failed or miscarried yet. Fingers crossed. 


Don't know why but I remain optimistic.

I'm 40 years old, have been married and struggling to have a family for 8 years. Everything about me is healthy. No serious illness, no obvious reasons as to why... Though I have the MTHFR gene mutation, homozygous. 40% of all humans have some kind of MTHFR gene mutation.

It's something they take seriously in terms of miscarriage, and have been treating with folic acid and plain (non active) vitamin B - but that may well be my problem. Recently a naturopath told me that folic acid is an enemy if you have MTHFR, and you need to be on bioactive vitamin B. Rather than taking folic acid you should be on 5-methylfolate. 


So my miscarriages have been tough, some are fine but others have been at 17, 12, 9 and 8 weeks. I've had a few DNCs, delivered a dead baby, been operated on untold times, have a black a bruised stomach from so many injections (Clexane mainly), and have been subject to steroids which are the worst of all.

It pretty much feels like I'm in infertility jail. I've got to be careful with what I eat, the naturopath says I should be organic. After every IVF I need to treat my body as if it's pregnant (diet, hygiene, no gardening, meat, activities, careful at restaurants etc). Seeing I have back to back IVF these days it's constant. Then there's my job... well, you can't really have one. Miscarriages have ruined my career. Currently IVF is my full time job. 


I'm on a strict diet of medication. My morning starts with 10 different pills and a gulp of disgusting liquid. Then there's another pill at lunch, and 3 more at dinner where I also have a full plate of spinach or other greens. I then have an injection before inserting a pessory. Every second day I have this other liquid drink that comes out of a glass tube I have to crack open.

Yes I'm still married, but life seems to have lost it's fun. Hopefully that is temporary.

  2. I'M TOTALLY FREE FROM HERPES VIRUS/HIV/AIDS
    HIV/Herpes is a serious and recurring condition that cannot be cured by drugs or injections by USA Doctors. But the best way to fight and get rid of herpes virus permanently is to take natural herbal remedies, I read about DR JAMES, the great herbal Doctor, who cures people of HIV with his powerful herbal medicine. I contacted him to find out how he could help me, and he told me never to be worried that he would help me with the natural herbs' medicine! After 2 days of contacting him he told me the medicine is ready, and he sent it to me via DHL COURIER SERVICE and it got me in 3 days! I used the medication as he prescribed for me (MORNING and EVENING) and I was cured! It's really like a dream, but I'm so happy! For people suffering from the following diseases Alzheimer disease, Eczema, Shingles, MS, Bulbous Pemphigoid, Diabetes, cancer, Pcos, hypothyroidism, vaginal rashes, Herpes, COPD, HIV, arthritis, HPV, liver disease, autoimmune diseases, Parkinson's disease, Lupus Schizophrenia, Autism, Bipolar disorder, Infertility Get your EX back, and more should contact him for his herbal medicine, because I am a living witness, and I was cured of herpes virus. And DR James medicine is legitimate. I sent him what he asked for, and he sent me his medication which I took for 2 weeks and today I am here with a negative result. When I went for the test, I was so happy after I took his herbal mix medicine. CONTACT DR JAMES FOR A PERMANENT CURE Email: DRJAMESHERBALMIX@GMAIL.COM.
