TTC after ectopic

Forums New posts
laubull!!!!!! amazing!!! :happydance::happydance::happydance: giving me so much hope. :hugs: any tips??

I've been away in Vegas but I'm back and ready to go! I am feeling really good about my TTC journey. I had my Dr appt last week. As expected, my Dr was very aggressive with figuring out what's going on. I got my bloods taken that day and he called me the next morning. He said that my hormone panel looked great and that the symptoms I'm experiencing may be left over from my methotrexate shot or from stress. I don't feel stressed really - every month I'm convinced I'm pregnant and then just feel sad when I'm not, but I think stress must be playing a role. I relaxed by the pool most of the weekend, got a massage and facial, and really think I just need to keep up with these type of things to relieve some of the stress. As predicted, I think I am O'in early this month (guessing today is the day but will see what today's OPK says - I'm expecting it to go lighter).

So overall just feeling refreshed. Glad that my hormone levels are normal and now just trying to be calmer about the whole process. My temps got messed up from Vegas - traveling, drinking, not sleeping, time difference, hot weather and sun etc, but back on track now after I had to discard 1 I can see my SO's point about not traveling close to O. I had EWCM the first day there and panicked. Luckily I packed my OPKs and they were negative. Was going to BD every other day this month, but did already panic there and can't resist BDing when I know I'm fertile. hopefully this is it.....
 
Thank you sooo much Bee :-)

No tips really other than what you are doing, monitoring your CM, temps and OPKS. I think your trip to Vegas will have helped a lot, sun, fun and relaxation is always good.

If you O today it looks like you've timed in perfectly. Now you've just got to find something else to think about during the TWW! I found being on holiday helped a lot as I just forgot about it, when at work I think about it all the time.

Really, really hope this is your month. xxx

aw thanks laubull - you are so sweet. it really is crazy how going away can take your mind off of it. I can't believe I went 4 days without really thinking about it at all (except for when I had EWCM). I've timed it perfectly every month, so hoping my body has just needed time to heal. thanks for your well wishes and keep us updated! H and H 9 months! :cloud9::cloud9::cloud9:
 
Hi ladies :). I had my ectopic treated on September 6th and just had my period last Friday. TTC next week hopefully :)

Welcome Dtrisha, sorry for your loss :hugs: If you don't mind me asking, how was your ectopic treated?

I had keyhole surgery and unfortunately lost an ovary but I'm almost certain I am still ovulating every month.
 
It was treated with methotrexate. My levels were only at 500. It worked well with my body and within 2 weeks my levels were at 0. So I've been taking folic acid since then and pre natals :)

Aah, I did wonder if it was methotrexate, seeing as you said 'treated.' Are you sure you're OK to TTC so soon? They usually say you have to wait at least 3 months for the methotrexate to clear out of your system, and I was under the impression this was quite a strict thing.
 
Well the doctor did say 12 weeks but I've been talking to plenty of ladies that have tried after one cycle. And methotrexate isn't in your body for more than a week tops. They are just worried about folic acid since it strips it. But I feel like if my body any handle it then it won't happen. We're not trying hard core to have one right now just not being cautious. I think it'll all work out :) I've been taking folic acid for s little over 4 weeks so it's not like there isn't anything
 
Dtrisha I know I sound like a party pooper but please be careful, methotrexate is a horrible drug. My first ectopic was treated with it, I waited 3 months and conceived in the 2 cycle of trying, sadly that ended in a miscarriage. I don't know what caused it, most likely bad luck but I always wonder if it was methotrexate. I only say this as I don't want you to go through any more heartache.

Good luck when you start TTC, it's your body, trust yourself. X
 
how are all my girls??

hilslo, everything??

laubull how are you feeling??

I'm 2DPO and trying to stay busy! :wacko:

xx and :dust: to all!
 
Hi beemeck! We're not officially TTC but if it happens it happens. My body has felt back to normal weeks ago. And I feel ready to try. I know you're not supposed to for 12 weeks. I doubt I would conceive this month anyway.
 
I totally support that decision. My doctors said there was no medical reason why they say 3 months, just really to give your body a break. I am SUPER healthy and periods regulated right away so I did end up trying after 2 months (had to wait until my cervical stitches were out to even be able to DTD which took forever). But the fact that I haven't gotten pregnant since (ectopic was our first try) is prob indicative of that healing process that they were talking about taking place. I'm not sure if it's true or not, but I can't help but feel that if they body isn't ready for it, it won't happen. :shrug:
 
Yeah so we're not BDing all the time just when we feel like it. We will TTC next month after my next period. That will be around 11 weeks. So close enough lol. My period was as regular as it could get and I felt great. :)
 
I've always said if your body lets you get pregnant you're meant to get pregnant. My daughter was conceived straight after a miscarriage and this time we started trying only 1 cycle after my ectopic and here I am, pregnant!

I am now 5 weeks and can confirm it's in the uterus, I had a scan this morning :-) They also confirmed I ovulated from my tubeless side so my left tube picked it up, clever tube!

Dtrisha good luck whatever happens this cycle :-)

Bee, yea for being 2dpo! Now you just have to keep your fingers crossed and your mind busy. I hope you've caught the egg.

Congrats laubull!!! Happy to hear :). I can't wait to be pregnant again but it be in the right place. I have yet to see my baby in a ultrasound. So next time hopefully it all works out.
 
omg laubull that's amazing! the part about the tube! but also that it's in the uterus. I am so utterly happy for you and it gives me hope! make sure to update us every now and then ! :hugs:
 
So exciting!! I hope it's a sticky bean! I can't wait for my BFP and then hit the 12 week mark lol
