A 27-year-old woman had experienced 2 miscarriages.
She was doing everything right.
Taking folic acid every day.
Following medical advice.
And yet, the pregnancies weren't progressing.
All routine reports looked normal.
So a deeper investigation was advised.
An MTHFR genetic test and Homocysteine level were checked.
The results revealed the real problem.
MTHFR C677T Homozygous Mutation.
Homocysteine = 22 Β΅mol/L
Normal is usually below 10.
Here's what that means.
Folic acid isn't the active form of folate that the body actually uses.
Normally, the MTHFR enzyme converts folic acid into its active form.
But in some people, this conversion doesn't happen efficiently.
As a result:
Folate deficiency can develop silently.
Homocysteine levels rise.
And high homocysteine may negatively affect implantation, placental development, and early pregnancy.
The treatment wasn't more folic acid.
It was the right form of folate.
The protocol was changed to:
β Methylfolate (Active Folate)
β Methylcobalamin (Active Vitamin B12)
β Low-Dose Aspirin
Over time, Homocysteine levels dropped from 22 to 8.
The next pregnancy was carefully monitored.
And the outcome?
A full-term healthy baby π€
Sometimes the problem isn't a lack of treatment.
It's using a treatment your body cannot properly utilize.
