TTC after Methotrexate shot

[Renzalxx]

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

Hey Cath
The MTX causes this awful consipation pain (like you have just sat on a sharp pencil...ouch)... it will go away in a few days... try and get some metamucil or fiber into you and that should help.. poor luvvie, hang in there x

Well thats what i thought it was but i had MTX on the 22nd June and was going to the loo ok until i had my Laporoscopy then i didnt go for 9 whole days!!! That was OUCH lol but since last Friday iv been going every day so i think im back to normal now, i think it maybe my body getting rid of everything as my levels have dropped from 1400 to 351 within 10 days, thank you though hun xxx

Updated my journal if you fancy a read, but in short ovaries and tubes are clear They saw a promising looking gest. sac in my uterus, but although they could see a little shadow of something weren't able to confirm 100% that it was a yolk sack. I have a repeat scan booked for next weds, where hopefully we will see more, fx!

Thank you for all your support ladies

Oh and becktoria, I take 3mg of folic acid a day, have done since my hcg was 0

 

[cathgibbs]

oohhhh great news hun!!! so happy for you! i bet thats a big relief!!!

quick question, where did you get your folic acid from? i cant find any higher than 400mlg xxx

 

[baby_maybe]

Thank you cath

I just take 7 of the 400mcg ones at the same time! lol and then get another 400mcg in my pre-natal/pregnancy vitamin.

 

[cathgibbs]

Hahahha you know what? i asked on the other thread im part of how can i get a higher dosage of FA and if i just take multiple amount of FA will that mean the dose is increased, i sound so thick at times lol! I think ill do the same as you then hun!! how many months has it been since EP hun xxx

 

[baby_maybe]

I had the metho shot on the 5th March, so just over 4 months now. I had what they call a 'pregnancy of unknown location' since I had an empty sac in utero and then a suspicious looking cycstic area on my left ovary. They couldn't see my right tube or ovary at all (both times they scanned) and my hcg was still rising even though nothing was growing. They decided to treat with metho 'just in case'. It took 9 weeks for my hcg to get to 0, that was the toughest part for me, having to get bloods done every week and not having proper closure until they'd finally got to 0 and I started bleeding properly.

 

[cathgibbs]

What were your levels at the highest hun? that is such a weird pregnancy? it makes you think how the hell can it just implant wherever it feels like?!?! I understand what you mean about tests etci had MTX on 22nd June and since then iv been admitted twice and must have had about 10 blood tests, they wanted me to go back every 48 hours but iv told them im only coming weekly, they have dropped from 1400 - 341 in over a week lol im fed up of going there xxx

 

[baby_maybe]

They were 13,000 on the day I had the shot I think. Goodness knows how many times I had blood taken, I think I posted a list in this thread a while back, but it was 2-3 times a week to start with and then once a week for the last 6 or 7 I think. They had to swap veins in the end as some scar tissue built up in the one they started off using!

 

[Renzalxx]

Fingers crossed for you BabyMabe xxx

I still get the slight discomfort in my rectal area (sorry, TMI), which was my biggest symptom of ectopic. It's been two months since I found out it was ectopic.

AFM, it's just been over 2 months since I found out I was pregnant. I had a hard day yesterday. This coming Saturday I'd turn 14 weeks. Every Saturday I think about it; it's hard not to at this point.

My cycle this month has been wonky. This is my first full cycle after the last MTX shot. I'm wondering if this is an anovulatory cycle. I saw my OB on the 3rd (day 14 of cycle) and I had some major CM, and he confirmed that all signs indicated that I'd release that egg at any moment. Three days later, my cervix was low, closed, and dry, so we dtd for three days straight. It was the first time we'd been intimate since the last week of April!!! Then this past Tuesday (day 21 of cycle), my cervix rose a bit, got mushy feeling, I had some massive stretchy white mucus, and massive back cramping and (TMI here) several trips to the toilet (loose bowels). Naturally, I was scared out of my mind because we'd had 3 days of dtd with the recent episode just two nights before. Yesterday, though, my cervix was back low again and dry. Today (day 23) my temperature is about the same--hasn't had a big shift. I'm stumped. I've no idea what's going on. Scared I'll wind up pregnant, so I've been downing my raspberry tea in the hopes that if a little bean was conceived that maybe my uterus will make it stick. I just dunno anymore--I guess my body is screwed up!!

I know the feeling of feeling that your body is screwed up. So while I have been waiting to try, my body was somewhat normal. 5 cycles later, we decide to start trying, i think that it should be the most normal yet...instead it is the weirdest of them all. Fertility friend has been jumping around on what day I actually ovulated. It first predicted it would be around cd13-cd15. Then it tells me I oved on cd11, then jumped back to cd14, then back to cd11 and now cd16! What the heck is going on???? I am just glad that dh and I have been dtd regularly throughout this cycle! I don't want to miss out on any opportunity.

I might go crazy if I over analyze this to much. I am going to just enjoy until my bfp or until the witch shows...

 

[jammers77]

Ugh, chig, I can so relate! It's so frustrating, and I'm not even at the point where you are (ready to BD)! I guess I'll likely go mad when I'm ready to go that route! I've got my fingers crossed that you'll find the right day to snag the egg this month!!

ETA: UGH!! Cervix has changed again. It's now mushy, mid-way up, very mucusy (milky white but mucusy and stretchy). I sure hope this off and on again stuff resolves soon. Driving me bonkers!
