TTC after ectopic

Forums New posts
Hi Dtrisha - welcome!! Love the fact that you're already trying to fast forward to 12 weeks pregnant - sounds like me! 😄

Laubull - amazing news that bean is in the right place and from your tubeless side (gives me hope!). Any symptoms yet?

Beemeck - I'm in the tww too. Day 6 today so I'll test this time next week. Fingers crossed for us both!

I'm not sure exactly when I ovulated as I had positive opks two days in a row. Hope it was the first day as I got a vomitting bug 😟 so didn't bd on the second day! We bd on the 5 days leading up to it though so hopefully the bug hasn't ruined it!

Beemeck - how do you put a chart in your signature. I used to have one but have no idea how I did it! My chart isn't very exciting as I don't temp but it will at least keep you up to date if I don't check in for a bit!
 
Hilso- yeah I'm tired of waiting and I feel great! I've heard success stories and maybe I'll be one :). Been on folic acid for like 6 weeks. I'm sure it won't happen this month anyway. And if now it'll be 11 weeks next month.
 
Hi ladies!

Thank you for the welcome :)

Laubull: Congratulations!!! So happy to read about your BFP and the baby being in the right place! Praying everything goes extra smoothly for you! Can't wait to hear updates!

Well it seems I was right a couple of weeks ago. I was pretty certain I ovulated on the 12th and here I am today on the 25th and my first cycle has started since this whole nightmare began. It feels bittersweet... Like its a done fact... My body has resolved everything now...but also excited to have my regular cycles back so we can hopefully TTC soon. Another week and a couple days before my follow up appointment.
 
BFN on 11dpo for me 😥. Feeling a bit bummed about it as I had a good feeling about this cycle. I have zero symptoms so don't think it's my month. I'll test again on Thursday then stop the progesterone.
Mamabird - think of it as one step closer to getting your rainbow 😊. What are you planning to discuss in your follow up meeting?
 
I'm new to this site, but have been using it for support for my ectopic.

I'm 32, DH 47 and we have been actively TTC for 13 mos.

I am currently on my way down from a dose of methotrexate. Betas on Monday were 130 down from my 6 week mark of 2,800. This was my second pregnancy and thank God for this site. My first ended in MC naturally in January.

Just wanted to let you know that my last bfp was negative on 11 and positive on 12, although very faint. So hopefully today's the day!:flower:
 
I see you are relatively new to this site too (or at least new to officially joining). Have you been trying for long?
 
Ltweety- who are you wondering about?? It doesn't say who so I wasn't sure lol

Dtrisha--It was for you...being new and all I couldn't figure out how to edit my own response once I posted it :)
 
Lol ok. Just wanted to make sure. I didn't want to respond if it wasn't for me. Well this is our first cycle trying after our ectopic loss in September. Hoping we caught the egg. But if now I won't be to dissapointed because it took us 2 cycles last time. I just hope there isn't anymore losses. I just want a baby and so does DH. We just got married in June so we're ready now :)
 
I am sorry about your ectopic. Having had a miscarriage too, this was by far much more emotionally taxing and traumatizing to my system. Was your ectopic treated with methotrexate or did you have it surgically removed? Do you still have both tubes?

I had the methotrexate and my doc said I should wait to have two periods after my hcg levels hit zero again. Did you get similar advice?
 
I had methotrexate as well. Still have the tubes and everything thankfully. And yeah they told me 12 weeks from the shot but then after my first cycle and from being on here and talking to people we chose to start before 12 weeks. I have been taking 800 mcg of folic acid for 7-8 weeks and a lot of people were telling me that they tried after the first cycle and how the doctors said it wouldn't be the worst thing in the world if you did. And I figured we waited two months that it was long enough. Methotrexate only stays in your system for about 48 hours and after you've been taking folic acid back up you shouldn't have a problem. I'm not telling you to do so just telling you why we advised against 12 weeks. I feel like if my body is ready for a baby then it'll do so. If not then maybe next month. I started feeling really good and back to myself as well.

Did you opt for an HSG? I'm partially worried that the "mass" hasn't "resolved" itself yet. Don't you just love these terms they use? Sometimes I wish they would just call a spade a spade. :wacko:

I probably won't do too much to prevent either. I'm thinking I will start charting as soon as I have a confirmed 0 and then maybe avoid during first ovulation and after that let nature take its course. Maybe we can get new years BFPs!
 
No I didn't get a hsg. My levels were only 500 and they never actually found the baby. And yeah I'm hoping for a positive by then. Fingers crossed.
 
hi girls - sorry I've been so MIA. I've had such a bad cold for a week now, ugh!

hilslo - I actually totally forget how I got my chart up, but yes I would love to see yours so I can stalk! It was something like going on FF, find the sharing drop down at the top, and then getting code for chart thumbnail. Then copying and pasting that code in your siggie. hope that helps!!

laubull - hope you are feeling well!

everything - where are you love?

dtrisha - good luck to you this cycle, glad you are feeling well and recovered :)

hi LT, welcome! sorry that you've found yourself here but we will all get through this together. good luck getting back down to 0. it only took me 5 weeks considering I was at 15,000 the day I was admitted to the hospital!

AFM - I'll be testing tomorrow actually. it will be 11 DPO and we have halloween parties all weekend. I'm feeling like AF is brewing, so I don't have much hope (though of course I will hold on to that thread forever).

:dust::dust::dust: to all!
 
Thank you girls for asking :-) I'm feeling rubbish! Tired, headachey and sick but it's all for a good cause so I can't complain. 45 days until my 12 week scan, I'm not sure how I'm going to get there, I'm driving myself mad already!!

Bee, good luck for tomorrow, I really hope you get your BFP.

Hilslo yes please share your chart, I still love charts, it amazes me how many signs your body gives you.

Ltweety welcome to the thread. I'm sorry you find yourself here :-( I hope you recover quickly.

Dtrisha, I'm so pleased you've recovered quickly and are rating to go!

Sorry to those I've missed, I hope you're all well :-)

Baby dust to all! X
 
thanks for the well wishes :)

BFN today..... :( will test again tomorrow morning since we have another party in the evening.

:dust::dust::dust: to my other girls!
 
beemeck
Sorry about the bfn. They never seem to get easier do they?
 
Hey ladies! Happy Halloween. I took this test at 930 am. I feel like I see a very faint like but still trying to figure it out lol. Lots of ladies are telling me they see it but I'm not getting my hopes up just yet. What do you ladies think?

Dtrisha I'm not sure, have you tried playing about on your picture settings? X
