TTC after Methotrexate shot

[PreshFest]

Good luck Chig! I remember that day all too well... So stressful! All will be great, though. Can't wait to hear the news!

And YAY Grace!! Such a relief that it's going down so fast. That definitely helps your healing, I think. Now you can focus on the future instead of the past.

Hi guys
just checking in to see if Chig updated yet. Thinking of you girl!!!

 

[PreshFest]

Me, too!! I hope she updates soon!! I can totally feel her stress right now lol.

haha I know right!!!!!!!! I can't wait to get "to the other side" and yet I can totally imagine how stressful the first several weeks of pregnancy will be after this experience. I think excepting that it is 1000% out of our control is the only way to get through it.

 

[grace10209]

Me, too!! I hope she updates soon!! I can totally feel her stress right now lol.

While we wait, care to share with me your dates with metho..........when did you get shot? when did you ttc again? and when did you get bfp?
thanks!

My story is a little scary...so don't let it get you worried, ok??

Metho July 25th 2011. TTC again 3 months later and got bfp right away. At my 6wk ultrasound baby was in the right place but they couldn't find a heartbeat. I went back 2 weeks later and they found the heartbeat, but it was about 1/2 the rate it should have been at 8 weeks and baby was measuring 2 weeks behind. So we knew it wasn't looking good. Unfortunately, they didn't find it necessary to give me any more scans for some reason. So I tried to stay positive even though we knew baby probably wouldn't make it. So finally at 11 weeks I started bleeding and had to have a d&c at 12 weeks. So they made me go all that time wondering what the heck was going on! That was by far the worst part of the whole deal. Just all that waiting.

So this time, we TTC 2 months after d&c and then got pregnant the 3rd month and here I am, in all my pregnant glory lol. ROUGH road to get here. Waiting for my 6 week ultrasound was killer. I had no symptoms really. I knew it wasn't ectopic somehow, but was terrified about it being alive. So..I've been through the wringer. And still trying to convince myself that I will actually get a baby at the end of this.

Wow! I feel so blessed to have so many ladies here waiting for my update!

Now to get to the update...I just got back from my 3 hour appointment! They did another ultrasound and found that beautiful heartbeat at 143!!!!! The moment I heard that heartbeat, I had tears rolling down my face. I was so happy and relieved and excited to hear that heartbeat. It was wonderful! They also said that the baby caught up with what it should be at 6w+6d!!!!! They checked both my tubes and ovaries just to make sure everything was looking good and things are looking great! We then went on to get more blood work done, left a urine sample and then had a one on one with the doctor to go over family history and she did another look and feel inside. Everything is looking good!!!!

I am going to try to enjoy this moment as long as I can before I start worrying about the next thing.

I am on cloud 9 right now!!!

omg
thank you for sharing, but OMG. I can't imagine, AFTER the ectopic that you got your bfp again and then that????? OMG I am so sorry, i would die. having to wait 11-12 weeks to learn that it wasn't ok, ughhhhhhhh. And they dont know right, no clue why these things happen? OMG. Well, the good thing is that you made it through and are pregnant now - and still. With your ectopic and then the next, did you go public with the pregnancy? When DH and I first start discussing having kids, we promised ourselves if we got bfp we would keep it to ourselves until we hit 12 weeks along, I will admit it has been very tough for me having to go through this loss alone (minus you all). Im wondering if it would be better for me to tell at least a few CLOSE people in my life next time when we first get bfp. Like my sister and best friend. Then at least I'll have people to talk to that know what im going through. ?
thoughts???

Hello ladies i haven't been on here in a while. I have had some major changes in life after my ectopic in march and i haven't been trying to get pregnant but haven't been preventing it either. I wanted to ask you all about your cycles after ectopic and methotrexate. Did they change? Mine are now very light and shorter. I'm still on a 32 to 36 cd . Also when it starts getting close to either ovulation or af i get these pulling sensations in my uterus. It's very noticeable and lasts until af starts. During ovulation i also get pains in my sides that sometimes can bring me to my knees and also in my legs around my pelvic area inside my thighs i get really bad pains just like ligament pains. Is this normal?

 

[baby_maybe]

Hi resque, sorry you've been having a rough time with your af since the ectopic. Personally I didn't really notice any difference of the couple of afs I had after my numbers got to 0, but that might not be true of everyone else on here. In fact if I recall correctly chig might of had some differences.

Hope you manage to get the bottom of the pain you've been having

 

[Renzalxx]

Hi resque,
I too have been able to feel ovulation and my period coming from a mile away. My last ovulation was severe like period pain. Think we are more sensitive and in tune down there. I would def have a chat with your doc sweetie just to make sure it's not more than healing pains.
Hope your feeling better soon x

Chig, such great news! So happy for you, lady xoxo

Hi resque, I've never had ovulation pain until after the ectopic/methotrexate. Last month when I ovulated I was in a meeting and was in such awful pain I was having trouble concentrating on what was being said. I also have very light brown discharge. At my 6 week appointment after mtx, I was ovulating and my OB noticed the discharge and said, "You're having some bleeding, which is normal." So I guess even a light brown discharge is considered to be bleeding. I dunno.

I never had ovulation pain like this until after the ectopic. I usually would have a little bit of back cramping that would last an hour or two, but it was barely noticeable. Now when my body gears up for ovulation, it is very obvious.
