I was thinking of starting acupuncture too....keep us posted on how it goes!

I am thinking of it too.

How do you go about getting it. I know it may be a dumb question. But hey ho.

Hey nice blinkie. I love it

Oh i have a question ladies.

Has anyone had the methotrexate injection. I had it wednesday and i started bleeding friday. Like a propper period flow.
I have been sick, dizzy, headaches, very very sleepy - but i know this is normal but they did not say anything about bleeding.

Thanks lovelys. xxx

Hi Katstar,

Sorry you're not feeling so well.
The methotrexate acts by stopping cell division and helps the body start the miscarriage process. The bleeding is quite normal and for it to be proper period flow as it causes the lining of your uterus to shed (sorry if TMI). If you have any major abdominal pain, or excessive bleeding (above that of a period) I'd call your dr/health clinic/hospital to check.

Take care love,

Hi, can I join in too? My right tube is still attached to me but it's blocked.

 

[noja]

I just started acupuncture too and I found it really good. I have mild endo and I got relief-practically total-for the first time in months!! If you go into the Zita West website they have a list of affiliated practicioners, I think I looked up the British Association of Acupuncture too-or some organisation with a similar name!

Hi, can I join in too? My right tube is still attached to me but it's blocked.

Welcome noja. You can definetly join us. We have quite a group. Is there anything they can do to unblock your tube? I also have mild endo and a fibroid in the muscle of my uterus the dr said it shouldnt pose a problem but we will see. The endo doesnt cause me much pain. Hope we all get our BFP's real soon.

Hi PM! Don't know if anything can be done as have not had my review since my lap back in May. We were waiting for DH to have a SA done but the clinic forgot to orgainze it-three time!! Finally got an appointment for Monday though so I'll be able to talk to doc then. He spoke to us after the lap but he didn't seen overly concerned as he reckoned one tube would do the trick-I however am a little more cynical than that!! Also have small fibroid in wall of uterus which shouldn't be a problem apparently.

 

[puppymom32]

I was suprised when I had my lap in April to have my tube removed from an ectopic that my dr didnt go ahead and remove the endo and fibriod but she said it would do more harm than good to remove it. Who knows. Hope hubbys SA turns out ok.

 

[noja]

That's exactly what my doc said, I suppose we must trust them. Think SA should be fine, DH is younger than me (he's 31), he doesn't drink too much, never smoked and is a healthy blighter, he eats like a horse but manages to remain slim and trim-ggrrrrr. But there are other issues which I won't go into now but they're in the journal if you're ever REALLY bored.

Hi ladies,

Just wanted to tell you all i am having a good day.
Well you all know i have had methotrexate on wednesday 12th. Well saturday my hcg went from 372 to 313. Its gone down which is good. Been back today for more beta bloods and they have gone to 130
I know i should not count my chickens yet but thats an incredable drop isn't it?? They were only expecting it to go down another 45 at the most (15% every 3 days) I had some heavy cramps last night and some heavy bleeding with clots this morning (sorry tmi) my doc thinks i may have miscarried and that my hcg will be 0 next week. He can not be 100% sure but if it was ectopic then it would have only gone down the 15%.
He also can not be 100% that it was not ectopic and my body did a tubal abortion. But i am happy its nearly all over.

Another great thing is that my gp has referred me to the gyno clinic at the hospital to have tests done on my only tube and uterus. Bloods, hormone levels and Hysterosalpingogram - HSG for short. This is where they put dye in your bits tosee if there are any blockages or problems. I guess you all know that and i bet some of you have had them.
Lets hope i can get some answers or see everything is ok. 14th sept is my 1st appointment. xxxx

Thats good Kat at least during this break you should be able to straighten some stuff out.

 

[noja]

Good to hear your body is sorting itself out Katstar, sorry you had to go through it all the same. You sound like a very strong person. Take care.

 

[puppymom32]

Hello All,
Well my temps are all over the place this month so not real sure when I am gonna ovulate I decided to buy some OPKs got the CB Digi ones with the simley faces because in the past I had tried the dye ones and could never get a darker test line. So here is to hoping they work.

 

[katstar]

yeh them smiley faces ones look easy and simple. Hope you catch that egg love. X

 

[puppymom32]

They are if you read the instructions wasted one last night as I put the darn stick in the wrong way. Duh!!! came back with an error then I realized what I did but I could still see the dye on the stick so not a total waste. They r pretty expensive. I think I might just invest in a CBFM a used one on ebay or something. How are you feeling today Kat?

 

[puppymom32]

So I got a smiley face today so hubby and I will definetly be getting busy today and tomorrow. Hoping I am o on the correct side I have been having pain on both so who knows.

 

[katstar]

Glad you got your smiley face. Did you manage to bd lots?

I have been up and down hun. Felt so sad at some points of the past couple of days. I guess its my hormones all over the place. I feel so sorry for my partner. He does not know whether he is coming or going.
And to top it off the methotrexate has given me a right bad wheeze.

 

[Blue12]

Hi all I have missed you tons.

Welcome noja - hope your stay is short.

Katstar glad your numbers are dropping quickly - sorry that you are not feeling the greatest though.

Pupppymom I know what you mean about the frustrations with opks. I always used to used the expensive smiley face ones - they are so easy to read the results - recently I switched to the cost effective ic's - flippin hard to read.

I have been gone for a few days because I am so mad at my fertility clinic and doctor. They are so terrible there I can hardly put it into words. There have been many poor moments. I have another appt with them on Tuesday and I am going in with a slew of questions and going to see how it goes, and right following that I am going to find another clinic - I am thinking of speaking to the director of this clinic to let her know of my experience. Sorry to rant - I am just so pyscho mad.
