I had mine done after 2 recurrent miscarriages. Later on I realized that it was done when I got 23&me testing - however now they do not give medical information only ancestry info.

Ob can do it. It's part of the miscarriage panel where they test for blood clotting issues. I had it down after 2 mcs at my regular ob. If you get it then speak to an MFM as they have more info on it. I also talked to a hematologist since my results were not completely clear cut.

"your name is MTHFR Jones?"

I was tested for it as part of the Counsyl test.

My GYN (who is also certified in integrative medicine) ordered it. Surprisingly, insurance covered it! I think your challenge is going to be finding a mainstream practitioner who understands it.

Never heard of this before....my first thought was MTHFR= Motherf*kr. After googling, can confirm that it is indeed the Motherf*kr Gene based on what I read. Sorry, I know this is not helpful.

Who can do this? Can i just ask my OB or do I need to go to a RE? Could a regular endocrinologist test for it?
