TTC after Methotrexate shot

[Laubull]

My DH hated wearing condoms, he'd rather not do it!! Anyway I'd recommend bbt tracking as an alternative, altho it's more of a long term approach but will help when you're ttc again. Glad there's no line, roll on 4 weeks for you

Thank you too, so pleased its not another ectopic!

I wont be able to temp i dont think, i wake up all other times, and sometimes i sleep late lol! im so forgetful, i was going to go back on the pill but it took me 6 months to concieve after the pill and i wanted to get my cycles back on track first, when i ov next month we can ttc again! im only 25 so you may think 'you got all the time in the world' but i really want it now!! lol!

Ohh i bet hun, its such a relief to know, i know a mc is horrible but compared to an EP its a slight relief if you get me lol xxx

Temping can be tricky which waking times, I've found it difficult because I'm always getting up in the night but you do find a routine and you do remember! Regardless of age it doesn't change how much you want it

Yes it is a relief, especially because we can ttc straight away!!

Condoms sure do suck the big one hey heh heh - isnt that one of the perks of getting hitched - to ditch them forever....

At 12dpo, I got my !!!!!!!

I pray that this is my forever baby. I am so excited right now, but I know that there is still a long road ahead and I am still very scared of something going wrong. I won't be able to relax until my 18week scan is normal.

To sum things up:
- 1 shot of MTX for suspected ectopic @ end of Jan -> took about 5 weeks to reach 0.
- started taking my prenatals and waited 5 cycles/4 months before ttc again
- waited until July to start trying -- no luck in July
- got my bfp in August!

[cathgibbs]

Ladies did you Dr tell you to wait 3 cycles, 3 months or 12 weeks? xxx

 

[baby_maybe]

I was told 3 months hun xx

 

[cathgibbs]

a lot of people on here have been told 3 months but my dr said 12 weeks and on the ectopic website it says 12 weeks after MTX, Stupid isnt it, it should be 3 months or 12 weeks for everyone! im seeing my consultant on the 28th, my partner and i have decided to try when i next ov which should be 2 week of september so thats 12 weeks but i want him to see if he will test to see how my folate levels are as since my levels were 0 iv been taking -1400-1800mg of FA a day lol etc im hoping for a HSG too! xxx

THANK YOU ladies for such kind words!!!!! You are the BEST!!! You girls have been my support through all of this.

I wish you all the best and pray that all of you get your forever baby and never have to go through any problems! We have been through enough!

cath - I was told to wait 3 months, which ends up being like 3 cycles. The doctors just want to make sure that your body has had enough time to rebuild the folic acid in your body since the MTX just wipes all of it.

MTX actually has a very short half life, so most of it is removed from your body within days, but a little bit may still be lingering around...I am a worry wart, so I waited even longer than what the doctor recommended.

 

[cathgibbs]

Thank you lovely, yeh it only survives for like 2 days doesnt it!! Our bodies did go through a battering though! Congrats again hun1!! xxxx

 

[autigers55]

Congrats again Chig!!!

Cath -I have had an HSG before, it was done last March. Everything was clear and working properly, I even got pregnant but ended up having a chemical.

I dont see a Specialist, but maybe my doctor will refer me to one. If he does the closest one is an hour away. I honestly dont care what type of help I get, I just want some. In the meantime, I've decided to make DH take a multivitamin to see if that helps him and I also read that we need to make sure his swimmers stay healthly, so that means bd every other day or give him some private time. Dont know how well that is going to work, but what I read said maintaining a active sex life is important while ttc(not so easy when you have a 4.5 yr old bugging you constantly).
