TTC after Methotrexate shot

[baby_maybe]

Not really having any pain no. Just the odd cramp, but I've been having those since about a week before my af was due. Still not had my phone call

 

[baby_maybe]

Doc has done me an urgent referral to epau due to the previous ectopic. I should get a call from them in the morning to arrange. Obviously hoping for a healthy peanut and please let it not be an ectopic this time!

 

[PreshFest]

I'm pulling for you girlie. I had a mc after my ectopic so I've somewhat been where you are now. So scary and just awful. I'm hoping you are just having a hemorrhage like I'm having now........... fingers crossed!!!

 

[autigers55]

Sorry to hear that baby_maybe! I hope everything turns out to be fine!!

 

[baby_maybe]

Thank you ladies. I'll keep you updated in the morning when I hear from epau. Thank you again for your lovely comments

Oh that is pooey news BabyMaybe... will be thinking of you and sending you loads of good luck on the breeze x Hopefully its just some old blood up there from implantation or your eggie getting comfy.... GOOD LUCK!

Hey Preshy, i am about 7dpo at the moment so will probably test on the weekend... i have a whole drawer of Ebay pregnancy tests (and a couple of FRER) so it has been very hard not to get POAS fever as I normally do... heh heh! AF is due on Monday so fingers crossed this is our month.. eeeeek!

How is things going with you hun?

 

[Angelinheaven]

hello ladies

 

[baby_maybe]

I have had a call from epau and they are going to scan me tomorrow at 11.45am. Still have some blood present and although I would like to be positive, I can't help feeling that this is happening the same way as it did last time and the outcome will be not be a good one. I'll update tomorrow after the scan xx

 

[cathgibbs]

i have everything x for yu hun, much pain or has that gone? xxx

Good luck with the scan baby maybe. Send you lots of baby dust your way in hopes everything will be just fine.

Afm, fertility friend is back to plotting CD11 as my ovulation day...we dtd two days and four days prior. I hope we caught it! With the current plotting, that puts me at 7 dpo today. I might be testing next week! Renzalxx, you and I are practically on the same cycle this time around! When are you going to test? I will be on vacation for a week starting tomorrow, so that will help me through the tww.

You are so funny. I totally agree about ttc being an addiction, though!

Renzal, I got my BFP at 9dpo this time. I LOVE POAS, so I see no harm in it!

AFM, approaching 2nd tri and I'm so excited! I still have the subchorionic hemorrhage, but have still not had any symptoms of it so I'm hoping it goes away soon. I have my gender scan scheduled for August 17th, so that's pretty exciting!

Ladies its been 18 days since MTX and 11 days since my laporscopy and today im having real bad pain AGAIN in my left hand side (side of ectopic) has anyone had this or is it just that my body hates me so much its throwing everything at me to test my patience?!!? xxx

 

[PreshFest]

Cath it's been almost a year since I had my mtx shot and I still get pain just about every day on that side. The docs are assuming it's scar tissue leftover, but we don't really know. If I get gas or sometimes when I go to the bathroom it hurts more because it has to pass right by there, I guess. Very odd. But even now at 13 wks pregnant it still hurts frequently.

 

[cathgibbs]

Thats what it feels like hun! Sunday i literally thought i was having very slight contractions, i was bleeding quite a bit and had shooting pains down my groin and around to my bum sooooo weird, i decided to go to the toilet and i was sat there for an hour cause i was in that much pain, today its more like a trapped wind feeling but its okish when im sat but trying to get up and walking 'oh dear lord it hurts lol im glad its just not me lol xxx

 

[PreshFest]

I also got majorly constipated after the mtx.........that hurt worse than anything. I could barely walk!

 

[cathgibbs]

oohhh and me hun but i think it might have been more to the laporoscopy with me lol i didnt go for 9 days.................................ouch lol!! the things us women go through init hun!! at least you've got your sticky been now chick so its all worth it xxx

alleysm - I am 11 or 12 dpo today and I have been having bad cramps since Sunday. I keep thinking it is AF but last night my boobs starting hurting bad while laying down, but now it is gone?? My temp was also up this morning, but not sure if it is acurate because I havent temped since cd 1. I also agree that ttc is an addiction, everytime I say I am going to give up, I never do, lol.

cath - Sorry your having pain! Sometimes I get a pain in my left hip, but not sure what it is because my doc wasnt 100% sure I had a ectopic. Maybe the some of the pain is maybe due to constipation. Like Presh I had constipation so bad from the shot I could hardly walk or even sit. Hope it gets better!!

Hi everyone bit of advice again!! Well my levels as of last Friday were 6 do hospital discharged me, will have a follow up with miscarriage specialist in couple of months but going for ivf anyway. I asked if I should start taking my folic acid again now as I know the methotrexade depletes all this. She said no I don't need to take it until I get my BFP again. I thought you are meant to take it once levels got to 0 especially because of methotrexade. I've heard that you need to build this up again, I know u won't b ttc anyway until end of year with ivf clinic. What the nurse told me is incorrect surely. I've even heard people take double folic acid because of shot. What you guys think should I start taking my vitamins while we are waiting ttc. I feel as though this hospital haven't a clue about anything I won't be going back there! Xx

 

[autigers55]

Becktoria - I dont know what they were thinking, but as soon as you hcg level is 0 start taking your vitamins. Those shots completely wiped out all the folic acid in your system and you do need to build it up. I didnt take a lot of folic acid I just did 1200mcg(1.2mg) and by the time I was ttc again my folic acid levels were fine. So as soon as you know your at 0 or below start you vitamins hun and forget what the nurse/doc told you.
