TTC after Methotrexate shot

[Laubull]

Thanks Renzalxx. AF is due tomorrow so if it doesn't show I'll test Wednesday. Feel completely normal so doubt it's my month....time will tell. Oh you're 6 weeks now, whoop!

Cathgibbs - yea for you, 5 weeks is great. I managed to get a period while I was still be treated so you're right everyone is different. You have to ovulate to get AF so I would assume if your cycle is 28 days, you should have it in 4 weeks time. I don't think there's any rhyme or reason to it though! When will you start trying, September?

Baby dust to all

Well they think i may have had a period last week as i had quite a lot of blood loss all of a sudden! my OPKs are finally getting a teeny bit darker so if i did have AF i would currently be on CD10 which could possible be, if that makes any sense lol! Yeh we will be trying from Sept 1st, i started my folic acid up a week today, been taking 4x1 folic acid, 1 baby aspirin and 1 pregnancy tab so hopefully my folic acid should be okish by now lol xxx

 

[Laubull]

That does sound like AF, your body is getting back to normal which is a great sign!

Quick question, baby asprin, I've heard others mention it, why should you take it?

[cathgibbs]

yeh they said it was very uncommon to get a period during low levels of hcg but as i had a D&C during my LAP they assumed my body was tricked into having an af as my levels were low enough they were only 22.

Baby aspirin (i think) helps with clotting problems, as its only 75mg it cant hurt to take it, after my mc i took them and got pregnant and my prog levels were really high at my first blood test after my pos HPT so i think if it cant hurt ill continue to take it! xxx

Hay Cath, congrats on reaching below 5. Such a good feeling hey. I got AF two weeks after reaching zero and was told by doc it takes approx three months to regain safe folic acid levels... Good luck x

Laubull- I hear you on the frustration of having an ectopic. I am only on my 2nd month TTC, but last month, I started out like, "I'm going to take it easy... just see what happens", but then, I just went nuts with it. Analyzing every little thing, and just feeling so overwhelmingly depressed when my P arrived.

And here I am this month, trying to just "take it easy" again, but I know it will be the same cycle. I wish there was a way to get my mind off of it.

 

[Laubull]

Grkgirl I'm sorry you're going through it too, we need a switch so we can turn it off....if only! If anyone has any advice please let us know!

I'm now getting my hopes up even though AF is obviously on her way (cramps, sore boobs, back ache).....why, DH keeps telling me not too but it's useless I'm obsessed by it!

Let's hope we get out BFP too otherwise I'll be certified crazy!!

OMG, can't believe it but I got a faint positive this morning ahhhhh so excited and so unexpected, I thought I was out! I am hoping it's a sticky bean in the right place. I am off to the pharmacy at lunch to buy more tests!

Good luck all

[GrkGrl]

Laubull- Congrats! That is so reassuring!!!

Was your MTX on March 16th? That was exactly the same day as my shot!

 

[Laubull]

GrkGirl - thank you

Yes I was diagnosed on 14th and then received the shot on the 16h March It took me 10 weeks to get to zero, it felt like forever but in hindsight that was easier than the TWWs have been, they drove me MAD!

I hope it's a positive sign for you. I know baby_maybe was around the same time too and she is 9 weeks now so hopefully you next

[autigers55]

Congrats Laubull!!

 

[Laubull]

autigerss55 thank you

Cathgibbs we waited 12 weeks to start trying, so wasn't on folic acid for that long after the all clear but I have a very healthy diet full of folic acid so wasn't worried. Looks like we got lucky on 2nd cycle so have been back on folic acid for 8 weeks. I hope the bean sticks and is in the right place
