TTC after Methotrexate shot

[grace10209]

BayBeeEm,
CONGRATS ON YOUR BFP!!!!!!!! I see you have some beta's done. have you had anymore? sooo exciting! I can't wait to get there again. Oh im praying for you that this one is a keeper! yay!

Chig,
again just so excited that you got to hear the heartbeat! amazing! yay ! how do you feel?

Babymaybe,
wow almost 20 weeks is great! Hopefully the next 4 will go quickly. quick question, have you always had the incompetent cervix? I mean, did you have it with your other childreN/ ? or is it a newly diagnosed thing? just curious if you had it before with other pregnancies that were successful? Hoping the next few weeks fly by!


GrkGrl,
keep us posted on your blood work and betas! very exciting! try and think positive!

pbl, how are you doing?

 

[Laubull]

Chig, thank you Hearing the heartbeat must have been amazing. Fingers crossed for next week!

Gweny thank you as well How are you feeling?

Grkgrl I have everything crossed for you.

Baby_maybe, 20 weeks, wow where has the time gone, it feels like yesterday you got your BFP! I hope that suture sticks fast for you

Grace, good luck in your first cycle of trying.

AFM, I just can't stop worrying even after last Friday's scan. I am terrible at the moment, prodding my (.)(.)s constantly, worrying if I don't feel sick, etc. I wish I could be scanned everyday to reassure me, at the moment I don't feel excited just scared

Gosh it so easy to get ignored in here at times lol. I've popped at least 10 times to only get a response the first time. If I'm not following protocol, someone let me know lol!

@Grace - I only had two betas and because they were more than doubling the doctor asked me to wait and return at at least 5 weeks, which I did. During my 5 weeks and 2 day scan, there was the yolk sac and all of right tidbits in my UTERUS! I have a follow up scan this Friday for the heartbeat. I will share more after.

How is everyone here?!

 

[alleysm]

Aw baybee- dont be offended. I get ignored too! LoL im sure it's not intentional.. im sure weve all posted something at some point an no one has responded.

 

[grace10209]

baybee
i agree with alleysm. there are a lot of us here so sometimes when you post - you cant address everyone or remember to.
A lot of times, i'll just post a message to all - but please dont think you are being egnored, if you have something important, post a few times and say "hello, please respond! "
at least that is what i would do. lol

Hey girl
Im sorry you are so worried. You have to somehow TRY to keep the faith and think positive. Its going to be ok. Talk to your little one, tell her/him they are growing just fine and everything is going to be ok. Tell yourself that too. "My body knows exactly what its doing and is nourishing my little one perfectly"

 

[pbl_ge]

Awwww....we're all so bruised, I think. These forums are wonderful is so many ways, but not perfect. Wouldn't it be great if we all could sit in a room together every week or so and be supportive?!

To me, I think BnB is amazing. When I had was diagnosed with an ectopic, I was devastated. The combination of my age (just turned 35) and the diminished probability of future success after an ectopic made me feel so hopeless. And then I came here, and within a few days had identified several other 30+ women who had experienced the same thing, and about half were already pregnant again! I think that helped my mental recovery more than anything else could have.

But it's still hard for everyone to address everyone else's posts each time they post. Sigh.

Anyway, thanks so much to all the ladies on the thread for being so inspirational and strong and supportive. I'm so happy for all of you who are PAL, and for those of us TTCAL I hope it happens really soon!

and congratulations, as appropriate.

Hi All-

Still waiting on the call. no results yet, but I wanted to ask about PG symptoms. Everyone have them? Badly? I have just slight symptoms which is also a huge cause to my concerns.

Gwenylovey- Thanks for popping in. how are you?

 

[BayBeeEm]

Thanks, gals. I know its not intentional that why I am able to make light of it. I will try to get on more so that people will know who I am a bit better.

Pbl_ge - you're so right. When I had mine, this thread was my air. I was so concerned during and after the experience that I was thrilled a board of women who moved on to have happy normal pregnancies!

Grace - I can't wait for your turn either. you remind me a lot of myself. I was dying for my numbers to go down, I wanted to be on the TTC train ASAP! How much longer do you have to wait?

Allysem - very, very well said. I trust I have offended others as well. I get on sometimes and there are 20 - 30 pages since the last time I was on. I read but fail to retain a lot of the information lol.

1 in 4 women do NOT have morning sickness and things like that. I am still early on but I only have "bubble guts", headaches, fatigue and bloating from time to time. No vomitting or incapacitating pains. Try not to worry, you just might be one of the lucky few!

OMG THAT WOULD BE HEAVEN IF WE COULD SIT TOGETHER ONCE PER WEEK!?!?!??!?!?? Can you imagine? how awesome[

I wouldn't worry too much, every woman and every preg is different. My bff has a TON of symptoms with first baby and NONE at all with 2nd. No sickness, no tiredness, nothing - and both babies were healthy and fine.

Yup, we are very similar and we have the "old age" thing going for us too. haha. I am 36 now OY
anyway, my AF is coming/ spotting and cramping like crazy so my guess is CD1 will be tomorrow or friday, just waiting for "full flow" like my RE's office calls it. Then we will be ttc in about 10-15 days!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

My first pregnancy which ended at 24+ weeks I had no idea about it. I went into prem labour and during my second pregnancy when the IC was diagnosed they figured that it was an infection that set off the labour in my first pregnancy which got in because my cervix was dilating and no-one knew. I have now had a stitch in all of my pregnancies, so this is my fourth one. I'm sure the stitch will hold as it has the past two times to term (second one was done on an already open cervix and held until 32weeks) I just get nervous around this time every time I'm pregnant. 30 weeks is always my goal, which this time is Xmas, once I get that far I'll be so much more relaxed

Laubull - every time I had a scan I worried constantly afterwards. It's was like it only reassured me for a day max and then I was back to worrying. Before my 12 week scan I had one at 10 weeks and even after that one was ok I still shut my eyes for the first few seconds of the 12 week one because I was sure something would have happened in the two weeks since the last one! My symptoms never got that bad, I think it took until about 7-8 weeks for me to feel icky and it was gone again by 11 weeks, that's never happened to me before. I also spent countless hours prodding at my bbs and worrying every time I woke up and felt 'normal'. All of this is completely normal in pal even now I am only just starting to allow myself to get a little bit excited, but I still have some sort of worry most days. it does get better I promise.

Hi hun I'm sorry you've felt ignored its not intentional I promise. In fact I'm using the quote button a lot more these days because my preggo brain forgets most of what I've read by the time I've read it!

Great to hear that everything is in the right place! I had an early scan when all I saw was a sac and a possible yolk sack, when I went back the following week we saw the embryo and a little flicker of a hb. Good luck for Friday

Hi grkgrl - as I said above to laubull I had not a lot of symptoms early on in my pregnancy, not normal for me and it made me worry no end. My symptoms didn't kick in until I was 7-8 weeks along and even then they weren't anywhere near what I've experienced in the past. Plus I spotted on and off for the whole first tri who made me worry even more. The last episode of that was at abut 14 weeks. Good luck with your beta results will look put for your update

 

[BayBeeEm]

Yay, AF come on in!

I turned 29 in August so the big 30 next year. I think I will have a celebration with my stroller by my side lol.

 

[GrkGrl]

Guys-

Thanks so much for your responses!
I got my results.

HCG at 15dpo - 801 (higher than it ever got for me with the ectopic, and that went on for 8 weeks!)
P4 - 13.3 (up from 5, and considered "normal", albeit low)

My doc is not worried, so I am so relieved.... for now. I almost started crying on the phone. I was totally expecting the worst. Now, I just have to hope and pray that they double for the next test. So, there is never a time not to worry, I guess.

I have slight symptoms, and with my son, I had them the worst. With the ectopic, I had none, so it leaves me in a state of panic right now. Thanks for all the encouragement though. It really helps settle my mind.

 

[grace10209]

yay! those are great NUmbers!!!!!!!!!!!!! WOOOHOOOOOO
try to keep thinking positive.

 

[baby_maybe]

Those numbers are looking good hun, fx for another good rise next time

 

[pbl_ge]

Looking good, grkgrl!
