TTC after Methotrexate shot

[baby_maybe]

Well saw the consultant, he is still happy to take the suture out of my cervix next week. He felt my bump today and said the fluid seems to have reduced a bit as the baby was easier to feel, although there is a little doubt about the exact position of the baby due to the fact that he still has extra fluid to move around in and so he does, constantly! As such he is saying that currently I have an 'unstable lie' which means I could end up with a csection, but he did say that given a bit of time the baby might get himself into the correct position and stay there. So basically we'll see what happens! I'll be seeing a reg next week for the stitch removal and he is on holiday and then seeing him the week after at which point I might get a presentation scan if there is still no baby's head in my pelvis!

So pretty much all good today, just need to be a bit more patient in waiting for this little man to make an appearance

Wowsers, you are almost there hun, cant wait to hear your good news! I know what you mean about patience, my little one has such a personality on her already that i just cant wait to meet her...x

 

[baby_maybe]

Nearly there, but seems so far away still at the same time! I really am the most impatient person in the world

Hi everyone
Just wanted to pop in and tell you guys that Im pregnant again! I am so thrilled! I came here many times going through my ectopic and the women here were amazing, and reading their stories of being pregnant again really helped me have hope for the future. and now, 6 months later here I am! I have never been so thankful!

I had a crazy week, My beta was done on friday 2/1 and i was a wreck, i did not test at all at home beforehand.
I had a horrible week at work with major issues with an employee, i had to meet HR and the persons union representation and I was shaking like a leaf and crying a lot. ughhhh, not crying in front of my employee but behind the scenes,
ANYWAY
at 12dpo on Wednesday i started spotting and i was devastated, so i started planning my next cycle. I was sure I was going to get another negative...........

A friend of mine i met on here said to me,
IT WILL HAPPEN - YOU GOTTA HAVE FAITH, and although i have heard that 10000 times before, it really stuck this time, so i kept saying it to myself over and over.

So beta was done friday morning, i was busy at work all day and scared to death to get the call, so i shut my phone off and left it in my purse, when I left work and got to my car, i had a voicemail. the message that said my test came back positive and that my beta was 269, they said at 14dpo they hope it to be 100 so 269 was a great number!!!!!!!!
I STARTED BALLING!
they said i am to go back monday for a 2nd beta check and they want the number to have doubled by then.

I am so thankful and cautiously optimistic for this little one.

please stick little bean, mommy loves you already!

AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH

SO, have faith ladies! it will happen! AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH

Hope everyone here is doing well! i'll try to scroll through now and catch up on all your pregnancies! you guys are all almost done!! most of you 30 weeks or more by now! YAY

[traceyAndLee]

hello and Congrats to those who got their BFP

Thank You, hope you all are well

Tracey xx

 

[baby_maybe]

Yes probably hun, the time between ovulation and your period usually stays the same length regardless of how long it takes you to get to ovulation xx

 

[traceyAndLee]

[Gwenylovey]

Congrats Grace! Those are some great numbers

 

[grace10209]

Thanks ladies, for those that are pregnant or had babies after ectopic,

any advice for getting through the first trimester? Im trying to stay positive, but I can't honestly tell you that im nervous!

any tips, advice?

 

[baby_maybe]

Not really any advice, I found first tri just unbearable at times. I think you just need to keep faith that a lot of women have successful pregnancies after the ectopics and take each day as it comes. Some days you'll feel more positive than others, make the most of those days and try to deal with the not so positive ones the best you can. Before you know it youll be out of first tri and then it goes much quicker from there

 

[grace10209]

Thanks babymaybe

I'm honestly trying to spend as little time online obsessing as I can.

2nd beta was 955!!! Next Is first prenatal appt and ultrasound on 2/26....

Trying to stay positive and busy. - you all inspire me and give me hope that this is my forever baby

 

[baby_maybe]

Thats a great number hun

 

[grace10209]

Ok starting to let my mind take over...................does what my doctor has done so far sound ok?
beta check at 14dpo and 17dpo, numbers rose great, from 269 to 955, now NOTHING, I wait til first ultrasound on 2/26?

OMG i wish i wasn't worried..............she said everything looks great and there is no need to do anymore testing until then. what do you think? OY

 

[baby_maybe]

Sounds fine to me grace, don't forget once your hcg is over 1000 it doesn't typically double in 48 hours any more so that can be worrying in itself. I think a scan in 3 weeks is fine, obviously if you get any worrying symptoms between now and then you can call her and she'll see you before.

Over here they don't do betas in the next pregnancy or offer you an early scan unless you call with symptoms that are similar to an ectopic. That's what happened to me this time, although I didn't get betas, just 2 scans a week apart because that the first one they couldn't see an awful lot. I convinced myself through most of the first tri that something wasn't right, but look here I am 36 weeks and counting down the days until I gt to meet my little man.

I'm sure you will be fine, your numbers are great and you have no reason to think otherwise at the moment. Try to enjoy being pg and take each day as it comes

 

[autigers55]

Those are great numbers grace! What your doctor is doing is completely normal. My doctor was different thought instead of weekly blood draws they went straight for scans at 4w3d and 5w3d, didn't see anything other than gestational sac but it was good confirmation. Then at 8w3d they did another ultrasound and then drew all my blood.

I thought I had lost this thread. It was so nice to catch up on and see everyone's good news. Congrats Phresh on baby Zoe! What a wonderful birth story! And not too long for you baby, I'm sure you can't wait to meet your little man. I think I remember reading that you are due on my birthday (March 5)!

AFM - I am 3 months out from my metho shot and have had 3 cycles already, along with lots of additional spotting during the months. I feel like I have been bleeding/spotting non-stop since Nov. I went on birth control after hitting zero, but am having bad side effects from it. My husband and I decided instead of trying another brand, just to start NTNP and see what happens. I'm hopeful that I don't get pregnant this cycle, but maybe next month. It's exciting, but scary (as I'm sure you all remember). Right now I am on CD 3 and seemingly wrapping up my period which is usually 3-4 days.

Thanks again for the support and looking forward to reading some more birth stories soon!

 

[baby_maybe]

Thanks hun, looking forward to meeting the little man. My due date is the 4/5th march depending on whether you take my date or the hospitals!

Good luck with the NTNP, lots of baby dust coming your way
