TTC after Methotrexate shot

Baby_maybe
I'm hoping 3rd times the charm, 1st preg - ectopic, 2nd try - bfn, im hoping 3rd will be it for us.
Also, we didn't wait 3 months after, so this AF i have now is my 2nd since the ectopic, and Nov 23 will be 3 months since I got the methotextrate, so maybe this next cycle WILL BE the one as it will be the first cycle after the 3 months.....

Im praying, thank you for sharing your info and for the support.

 

[baby_maybe]

Got everything crossed for you grace

 

[Laubull]

I'm really sorry Grace, sending you big hugs. Maybe it didn't happen this month because it was too soon. I hope you'll get a Christmas miracle

I got pregnant my second cycle after metho but lost that one. Then managed to conceive straight away after mc.

GOOD LUCK! X

Oh, I didn't know you were still so close to the methotrexate! In that case I'm relieved you didn't get a bfp!! It's a terrible drug, so I don't trust it!

So sorry to hear about your BFN Grace .I have to agree with Presh and Laubull though.

We were unfortunate to miscarry which our first BFPs (i got pregnant again just shy of three months after reaching zero which was approx 5 months after my shots) - and would just hate for you to go through another heartbreak - it was almost soul destroying!. So maybe it is a positive in a way to let your body heal for a bit longer. MTX messes with your eggs in a big way and they say it takes approx 100 days for them to return to their healthy state.
Good luck for TTC - will be sending baby dust your way hun!

Renzal, thanks for the support.

I talked to my Re and the toxicology doctors about the metho as I was worried too, they said metho leaves your system after 1 week and as long as you are on prenatals for 6 weeks then you would be fine.

Either way, I think you are all right and that its probably a blessing that i didn't get bfp this time. Nov 23 will be 3 months since i got the shot........and Nov 29th will be 100 days since I got the shot and I will hope to O first week in December so hopefully this time will be it for me.....and will be the RIGHT time for my little one.

Thanks again for all the love ladies. I can't wait to be pregant with a healthy little bean like you all are.

 

[Laubull]

Grace that's the right attitude, keep positive

AFM baby Bull is due 21st May, I'm 13+1 weeks, 3 weeks ahead of my dates. A little camera shy at first, had to jump around to get measurements, not sure how it'll cope having a photographer as a father! So amazed I will post pictures later.

Hope everyone else is well

[baby_maybe]

Aww so pleased for you laubull, can't wait to bee a pic of little baby bull

 

[grace10209]

Laubull 13+1 weeks/?!?!?! wow it goes by so fast huh? YAY!
I can't even imagine what it feels like to hit 2nd trimester!!

how you gone public yet? so happy for you! Did you get betas done early? what were they and when?

 

[Laubull]

Here it is! What do you think it is, I am thinking girl but happy either way

Thank you maybe_baby and Grace, I cannot believe it, I don't think it has sunk in yet. Grace I didn't have any betas done but I did get a scan at 7 weeks.

[Laubull]

Oh and yes we've gone public, quite a lot of family and close friends knew, the rest have just been informed on Facebook. I know not everyone likes Facebook but the responses you get back are amazing x

 

[baby_maybe]

Aww absolutely loving the pic of baby bull I'm rubbish at gender guessing but if I had to say one or the other I think I'd go girl

I love the responses on fb too, we had about 75 comments when we announced this time, I'm thinking it was because most of the people we know thought we were done with babies

 

[Laubull]

Every notification is making me smile, people are being so lovely x

 

[grace10209]

OMG!!!!!!!!!!! that is so beautiful! how amazing that is your little one! how wonderful!

HOly moly, no betas until 7 weeks???? what did you do during those 7 weeks? I would go insane, I should say, I WILL GO INSANE! OMG what did you do? did you have any dr appts/

 

[autigers55]

Lovely scan Laubull!!

Grace - I havent had any betas done either, but I think I will have one today. I have had 2 scans though.

 

[baby_maybe]

Grace over here they don't routinely do betas unless you end up with an early scan that suggests you may have an ectopic or not a normal pregnancy going on. We just have to wait it out for the scans and hope its good news!

 

[grace10209]

Baby-maybe, thanks for explaining.

Over here, or atleast with my doctor its different. Here they do Beta check as soon as you get bfp. It should double every 2-3 days and if it doesn't - then they know the pregnancy isn't viable, either ectopic or pending miscarriage. Once your betas hit over 1000 they can/should see "something on U/S" - even if its just the sac because its early.

SO for me, it will be - bfp, beta check right away - then beta again every 2-3 days to make sure it keeps doubling appropriately......and i will continue those until they are high enough to see something on Ultrasound

OMG what do you guys do during those first 7 weeks?

Its sad that early pregnancy for us is such a scary & stressful time. I know I will be terrified until I actually see a little one in my uterus. Some women get pregnant and never even think twice about it. My sister for example, got pregnant and was excited and thrilled from day one, she had never experiened a loss so the entire process was a happy joyful one for her from day one. I envy that.

Actually, what am i saying??? I want to be pregnant again so badly and I am going to try my hardest to NOT worry - I deserve to be happy and excited too dont i?

OY I feel like a crazy lady. LOL

 

[baby_maybe]

I get that grace, I've never had a pregnancy where I didn't worry due to my incompetent cervix, but that worry was always at the end of first tri. This ectopic threw a spanner in the works completely and not only was I worried about the cervix, but was also worried for the entire first tri about the location of the pregnancy, why I kept spotting, whether the mtx would have had any adverse effects on the baby, the list goes on. Unlike my other pregnancies where I mostly stopped worrying once my stitch was in place, with this it has carried on, don't know why really maybe the ectopic affected me more than I realised at the time. All I know is that I can't wait to get this baby on the outside so I can obsess about him and actually see him at the same time!

Laubull - Great scan pic!!! I am horrible at gender prediction, but I would say girl too!

Grace - I agree with the other ladies that it is probably a good thing that you didn't get your BFP this time around. I would hate for you to go through another heartache. MTX is some really scary stuff. Most of the drug does go away within a week, but some traces still remain for a longer period of time. I think waiting for that third period is probably a good thing! As for me, I waited 5 months to try and got my BFP on my second try! Even though I waited a lot longer than what is recommended, I still worry to this day about the health of the baby. I am worried sick about my anatomy scan that is coming up in like 3 weeks...I pray everyday that this is my perfectly healthy forever baby that I will be bringing home!

 

[grace10209]

So, I guess the bottom line is, we will always worry.......

I will say this experience has given me a whole new perspective on conception, carrying a child 9 months and bringing that child into this world. The process, when it goes smoothly, is such an incredible gift.

babymaybe - i can't wait til your son comes. im sure your girls will help you a lot.
how where their deliveries? vaginal/csection?

originally i always said i would want an elective csection, but lately i have been thinking that i might want to have a vaginal delivery and maybe even without an epidural. lol

chig, im sure your scan will be ok. positive thoughts. xoxo
