Hi,

You have a predisposition for recurrent abortion it is due to this MTHFR condition and this causes high levels of a protien called homocysteine, which effects your blood vessels.
This can have implications for both you and your pregnancy.
You are more likely to get a condition called deep vein thrombosis which can lead to even more serious problem called pulmonary embolism.
Also the pregnancy loses are due to this, as blood vessels of the placenta are getting clogged by the protein.
You have to consult an Hematologist or a gynecologist with expertise in thrombophillias. They will start you on low molecular weight heparin an injection which has to be taken once fetal heart activity is seen on ultrasound and has to be continued till 3 months after delivery.
You will require constant monitoring by the hematologist and gynecologists during pregnancy.

Hope this helps.
Regards.
