I just found out my 2 recent losses are due to a blood clotting disorder. (In the back of my mind, I blamed myself and thought somehow I was causing them by swaying (pink) since that’s the only thing that has changed since my last baby.) I know this is a silly question and it doesn’t really matter but I am curious if the disorder itself sways one way or the other. I have 2 healthy boys and suspect that I had this disorder when I was pregnant with them as I had blood clots on my placenta(SCH). I’m just curious if you have any thoughts on this, Atomic...

There are LOTS of different clotting disorders so without a study I can't totally say but I see plenty of both pink mamas and blue mamas with the clotting disorders so barring more information, I don't think they sway.

Hi Atomic, I was on the LE diet for 11 weeks and got a BFP 1.5 weeks ago. I have been off the diet for 2 weeks. I am miscarrying now at exactly 5 weeks. Should I start the LE diet again for 12 weeks before TTC? If not how long? Just worried being off the diet for 2 weeks and eating all the no go foods like meat & avocado daily has set me way too off course! Along with diet I was only planning to sway with femara this time and getting DH to start taking LR again. Thanks for your help!

Agh I'm so sorry this did not go through when I wrote it back in January!
NO you don't need to go back on diet for 12 weeks. Just regroup and TTC when you're ready.

I do not think that's what happened with you, becasue while you did reduce your folic dose, you were also getting more folic via diet at the same time and so your level was probably perfectly steady.
Most people just drop folic acid cold turkey - doctors don't tell people to wean off most of the time, and yet most pg are perfectly fine. We are just wanting to err on the side of absolute caution and hopefully eliminate all losses that can be eliminated.
Does this also include folate?

Yes, you also need to wean off folate.
Just be cautious and wean off everything, but folate and FA in particular as I've personally seen this seem to cause issues with otherwise healthy pregnancies.

But to make sure I understand correctly as I've been taking 1600mcg of folate, to wean off of folate AFTER the first trimester?
What if I take a prenatal with around 400-800 of folic acid or folate, should I take just half the dose of the 1600 mcg of folate then? I wouldn't imagine id continue the 1600 and then the extra in pretanal vitamin..
Thanks for your help

Yes, I want you guys on the higher dose through the end of the first trimester and then wean off it. The neural tube is formed at that point.
Yes you can compensate for the amount you're adding in the prenatal. Some people do add them in (and that's ok too) but you just are trying to avoid sudden decreases in the amount of folic acid/folate they're taking.
Make yourselves a cuppa , this is going to be a loooooong one LOL (and sorry, it may not be super consistent as I started this when pregnant in September - then changed it when I lost that baby and...
