TTC after Methotrexate shot

[baby_maybe]

Grkgrl - great numbers hun, I understand what you mean about feeling guarded, I felt that way for all of the first tri and the first few weeks of 2nd tri. I'm just the past couple of weeks or so starting to relax with regards to the baby, but I'm still nervous of my stupid cervix! A few more weeks and I'll be able to breathe easy again

Libby - fantastic to hear from you and read your wonderful news. Huge congratulations on the birth of your triplets, like the others I can't wait to see a pic of them when you have time. Take care xxx

Ohhh babymaybe post a bump pic!!!

 

[baby_maybe]

Honestly I would if I had one, but I haven't taken any yet because my bump looks weird! It's bigger at the top than bottom, probably because I'm a little overweight and I'm waiting for it to even out before I take one. Hopefully in the next few weeks

Baby_Maybe - do you know what you are having? Looks like you could use a boy in that household.

Can I ask a methotrexate question? I'm 2.5 weeks after the shot. Levels down to 500 from 2000 as of Thursday. Very light symptoms until the past few days. Suddenly I have very heavy spotting (thought AF at first--even has clots) and substantial cramping, especially in the area where the ectopic was supposed to be. Does this sound normal? Can't call my doc until Monday, so I'm hoping you can help.

Thanks!!

Yep, sounds normal to me hun. I spotted very light for about two weeks then had a painful massive bleed with clots etc that latest a few days. My numbers came down a lot quicker after than. Sounds like things are moving along just as they should sweets. It is horrible but you are nearing the end of the tunnel. Will be thinking of you and drop in to ask any questions you need to...we are all here for you xxx mwah xxx

 

[baby_maybe]

Same for me pbl, but my bleed was after about 8 weeks or so. However my nos were much higher when I got the shot, around 13,000 so it's not a wonder it took so long!

Grkgrl - we have our scan on Tuesday. We were going to not find out but I don't think I can't wait! I won't be at all surprised if we end up with another girl though!

Were you ladies given any guidelines for how much cramping is okay? The only thing I've heard is, "If you're doubled over in pain, you should go to the ER." Hard to calibrate that given different levels of pain tolerance. There's a nontrivial amount of pain in the area, and I just don't know how much is too much.

Yup totally normal, I had same thing as my numbers went down

 

[baby_maybe]

I didn't really get any cramping until the big bleed started, but as I understand it you need to be in the 'normal painkillers don't even touch it' area before heading to the er xx

 

[Renzalxx]

Mine was like a miscarriage with contractions and all. I was glued to the toilet as this helped with the pressure and it lasted a few hours and then mellowed out. Rang hospital and they told me to take some strong painkillers or Valium if I had any. If it continues on sweets, give your ER a call and see what they can do. They will probably get you in for some pain relief xxx good luck xxx

OMG!!!!!!!!!!!!!! SO MANY! and then of couse miss libbyloulou who just HAD HER 3 babies! YAY!!!!!!!

So exciting that so many of you are preggo again and libby just had hers! gives me such hope for the future and this cycle. I am sooo excited to be ttc again.
We will likely start this weekend, i go on Monday for an ultrasound and to see how my follicles are doing. Its very interesting doign this cycle. its medicated and closely monitored, which is fine with me, I am 36 and have excellent insurance that covers everything so im ok. Very excited and scared to ttc again but can't wait to see a bfp in a few weeks!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

[PreshFest]

Hey everyone!! Just back from a wonderful vacay...going to take me a bit to get caught up. I hope you all are well!!

 

[autigers55]

Sorry I haven't posted in awhile, been busy trying not to focus on ttc. This last cycle I was totally not focused on ttc because we had a vacation to Disney World and that kept me busy, plus DH was working out of town. We just got back home Saturday from Disney Word and that was one crazy vacation. I did have fun getting to ride the rides and seeing my daughter's face light up when she seen her favorite characters.

I did come home to a nice little surprise though: a !! We only bd like 3 times, so I was completely shocked. I'm on but also super scared. I go Wed to get an u/s(even though I know I wont see anything) and to talk to my doc because he wants to put me on progesterone, but my first offical appt isnt until the 29th.

Congrats to all the new bfps!! Sending baby to all the other's still ttc or waiting to ttc!! My secret to sucess was completely giving up and putting focus on something else, I dont know if it was a coincedence or if we just had good timing, but whatever it was helped!! GL to you girls!!

 

[grace10209]

autigers! congrats on your bfp! YAY! so exciting!

Another pregnant woman here! yay everyone! i can't wait to be one of you that is ALSo pregnant, fingers crossed this cycle is it and I get my bfp first week in November!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!


Hugs to ALL! praying for you and your little ones! YAY!

 

[baby_maybe]

Congrats autigers, great news and glad you had a lovely time away at disney

Presh, wow 27 weeks Glad to hear you also had a great holiday

Grace - good luck with the ttc, it's great that your doc is keeping you closely monitored

AFM - 20 weeks today Have a scan tomorrow, so looking forward to seeing peanut again and then next consultant appointment is weds morning

 

[grace10209]

babymaybe! 20 weeks is awesome! I am so thrilled for you! i can't believe you are going to have 4 children. OMG.

do you work or is staying home with them your job? I can't wait to be a momma. are the girls excited for the little brother/sister to come? im sorry i can't remember if you found out the babys sex or not.

 

[pbl_ge]

Congrats, autigers!

 

[baby_maybe]

I know grace it's crazy huh?!? I am a stay at home mum, to be honest the cost of child care for before and after school would wipe out anything I could earn realistically and DH earns enough for us all to live

We haven't found out the gender yet, still thinking about whether I'm going to ask at tomorrows scan or not, we'll see The girls are excited, not as much as at the beginning but I think that's just because this seems to take such a long time for them. I'm sure once we get closer to the edd their excitement will pick up again

Hows your detox going pbl?
