I have a question - I had my second round of mtx on Sunday, my hcg had a dramatic drop by Wednesday (314 to 43) - but I feel like CRAP. I didn't notice many side effects with the first round but starting Monday afternoon I was nauseous and it's been pretty much like that with extreme exhaustion since then (although I was feeling better Wednesday afternoon). I'm also bleeding, like a lighter period since yesterday (Thursday), and have really only had light spotting since before the first MTX shot - is all of this normal?? and if so, when will it end?? i am so ready to be done with this nightmare.

It made me sick and so tired too for about a week. I spotted from jan 17 to the shot on jan 31 then bleeding until feb 10 then started again feb 14 until feb 20 then terrible heavy bleed from march 1 until march 9.. it was such an ordeal. My thoughts are with you

I had some slight exhaustion and indigestion with the 1st shot, but was over it in a few days. The 2nd shot really got me good. I had the shot on Friday 3/2 and that Saturday, I could barely keep my eyes open. It continued until about Monday. I also had indigestion bad too. I felt like I was sitting on a knife from all the pressure and I was extremely bloated. There was nothing I could do to get rid of the pain(pass gas or go to the bathroom, sorry tmi), so I just had to deal with it. It went away after 5 or 6 days. I did have a little spotting, but no bleeding. So the first shot symptoms went away after 3-4 days and the 2nd shot symptoms went away after 6-8 days(for me at least).

I had stopped bleeding/spotting before I got the first shot, so I dont know what to tell you about the bleeding, but the exhaustion/nausea will eventually go away. I'm sorry your going through this and I know it is tough, but just hang in there.

Thank you alleysm and autigers!! I can hang in there better knowing it's going to end soon and not too out of the ordinary. You ladies rock.

Carteroh, I didn't have many side effects from the methotrexate other than the extreme pain and cramping, but I think that was from the tubal abortion. I also didn't have a second shot though, so that might be the difference. Hang in there! Thinking of you and hoping you feel better very soon. The drop from 314 to 45 is a great sign!!

Poor lil chicky, it is HORRIBLE stuff.... I felt dreadful for about five days after my shots then came good. Really flu like symptoms, like aches, pains, headaches and flushes. I then had a major bleed and things started to teeter off.
I also had terrible constipation/gas pains (like I had sat on a sharp pencil) sorry too graphic ....which was very painful but much to my work colleages amusement as I yelped every time I sat down...heh heh

Hope things get better soon hun, take it as easy as possible and look after yourself xxx mwah xxx

Carteroh, I'm thinking of you and hope you start to feel better soon, its awful.

I'm really nervous because I keep getting twinges in my left side where I had the ectopic. It doesn't hurt but its just weird. Did any of you experience this with normal pregnancies? My scan isn't until Thursday which is a long time to be worried for!

Thanks in advance x

AF arrived for me today!

It didnt even take her a week to show after my hcg level got back to normal.

I plan to start my prenatals tonight along with some extra folic acid, so my body will be ready when I start ttc again.

I have a question. Do you ladies think it will be ok for us to start trying again in May? That will be 2 months after the 2nd shot and hopefully I will have had at least 2 cycles by then.

Yaaaaay for AF... Bet your relieved! Hope you have taken mine for me....fingers crossed!
I would wait three cycles before trying again. I fell pregnant after three and miscarried....I think your eggies take a while to get healthy again! Up to you though, I would double check with your doctor! Xxx

Libby, I am pretty sure most of the pregnant ladies here experienced the same twinges, due to the area still being a bit fragile...I have everything crossed for you for Thursday chica x

Afm, I did a test this morning, af is due tomorrow...BFN!!!!! BOOOOOO! Do you think I'm still in with a chance? I have had a horrible flu last few days, could that effect my symptoms or should I just right this month off...
