Is homocysteine a big influence on pregnancy preparation?

Homocysteine

is a sulfur-containing amino acid that usually has no adverse effect on pregnancy preparation if homocysteine is within the normal range of 5-15μmol/L during pregnancy preparation. If homocysteine is below the normal range, it has no clinical significance and does not affect pregnancy preparation. If homocysteine is higher than the normal range, and is caused by hypothyroidism, abnormal liver function, renal function and other disease factors, it may reduce fertility, affect pregnancy preparation, and even cause pregnancy complications, such as abortion, premature delivery, fetal abortion, etc.

Therefore, for people with elevated homocysteine levels during pregnancy preparation, intervention should be carried out under the guidance of doctors. After homocysteine levels return to the normal range, pregnancy preparation should be considered.
