TTC after Methotrexate shot

[grace10209]

Hi Ladies,

Mind if I pop in? I was just given metho yesterday. I thought I had miscarried a full month ago at 5+5, but it turns out that a "mass" clung on ectopically. It's 4 cm and my HCG is at 2000. I'm obviously very nervous about what the next few weeks will bring. So far, only a bit of pain....physically. Emotionally I'm kind of a wreck. Other deets: I'm 35 in a couple of days, and OH is just shy of 40. We started TTCing i May, so our BFP was quick, although nightmarish.

But I started reading this thread from the beginning, and pretty much everyone who initially posted in March of 2011 is now a Mom! That was nice to see.

and to all as appropriate....

pb welcome, sorry you are here but I am so so thankful for this thread, I only joined in August and the women here are wonderful and yes as you have seen, people do go on to have healthy babies, many on here are pregnant now.
I am 36 so im with you on the age thing. You will be getting monitored closely as your levels go down and dont be surprised if yours goes up on day 4, most of ours did, and then it will likely go down on day 7.
Time truly heals with this situation. I am doing soo much better now than I was one month ago.

you are in good hands here. sorry you are going through this........

Hey girl. Didn't know you were 36 too! How does 15 weeks feel? when did you go public with your pregnancy? DH and I always said we would wait until we hit 2nd trimester, but I would imagine that might be tough! I can't wait to ttc again!! how are you feeling??? I can't wait to get where you are!

 

[grace10209]

babymaybe, i just noticed you are 17 weeks???????????? OMG! YAY!
when did you go public with your pregnancy?

 

[baby_maybe]

We started telling family etc after the scan I had at 10 weeks, but I didn't feel completely safe telling people until after I had my 12 week dating scan. I actually still felt like I shouldn't have told people so soon in case anything happened whilst I was having my suture placed, but now it's all over and I feel ok I'm happy that people knew

OMG I just had mine done!! Yesterday! dont be scared!! its NOT that bad at all. I took 800 mg of ibuprophen beforehand. and a Lorazepam to calm my nerves, its like an antianxiety medication. It wasn't that bad.
A little tiny bit crampy like but truly not bad at all. Last 5 minutes max.

Good luck, Alley! And Grace, what did your results say?

FX for both of you!

 

[grace10209]

Going to meet with RE at 130pm today to discuss results from HSG and my "treatment plan".

will post later how it goes. Fingers crossed.

Hey All, thought I'd pop over here from 2nd Trimester and give everyone an update. A little back story:

I became pregnant last February, but unfortunately lost the baby on February 19th and was given two shots of Methotrexate. My levels dropped really fast and my cycle started 28 after I zeroed out. We waited the suggested 3 cycles and then began TTC again.
I immediately got a BFP after our first try. We were scared and a bit skeptical, not wanting to get our hopes up too high. Well, now I am 20 weeks and we just found out that we'll be welcoming a little girl into our family on February 13, 2013.

Just wanted to give everyone encouragement that healthy babies are possible after these injections. I know what you are all going through and my heartaches for your losses. If anyone wants more details feel free to message me.

Congrats on your BFP. We were super surprised that we got our BFP as soon as we did. I had hoped that we would conceive before Christmas... we did.

 

[baby_maybe]

I was also surprised to get my bfp so quickly after, I thought I would struggle a bit for some reason. Guess it was meant to be

We had been trying for over a year when we lost our first one. I think that is why neither of us thought it would be so easy to conceive again. Are you thinking of having more after this baby or just sticking with one? I know my DH wants more (he's #4 of 6) whereas I am overjoyed to be having my perfect little girl and don't really want any more. I also don't really want to go through another super emotional first trimester with all the worries and fears.

Hi pbl. I am sorry that you are going through this horrible time in your life right now. But, I do want to say that there is light at the end of this long tunnel. This thread has helped me so much! I don't know how I would have gone through that time. Please feel free to ask any questions you may have! I hope your numbers drop quick!

This is actually our 5th and last baby! Although we lost our first due to extreme prematurity. It makes me grateful that we have been able to have several healthy pregnancies since. My main issue is actually having an incompetent cervix rather than anything else, but I have my stitch in already for that so hopefully I'm set for another term pregnancy

Hi guys, met with dr yesterday and got the green light to ttc as soon as I get my AF!!! Yay! Hope she shows soon

 

[baby_maybe]

[Renzalxx]

Yay Grace...here's hoping you catch that googie eggie soon and we see your BFP on here soon x
