Hi Tracy

Im like you two girls too - MTHFR Homozygous, PCOS, 2 M/cs (5yrd o
ttc 3 failed ivfs etc ...) Im also taking the Metformin, baby
Aspirin, & Folic acid 5mg + Vit B12 1g and B6 50mg. Also taking
Clexane (Heparin like Lovenox) during natural ttc (and during IVF).

Who told you that you have to take this for the rest of your life? I
have not been told this ... would be interested to know.

am trying to get my prescription switched over to Metanyx because it
is supposed to be more easily absorbed in the body. I also took
lovenox injections before my frozen embryo transfer. I know most on
this board start lovenox at cd6 also. Hope that helps. If you ever
