pdxmom, I'm so sorry that you are here. I know the wait feels like forever and I know how hard each loss is. Your rainbow baby will come to you when the time is right. Thinking of you

I agree, but it is for the best. Metho is a nasty drug! We all dream of a healthy babe.

It will come hun. i have literally been pregnant now for about a year and a half with my ectopic and subsequent miscarriage so it has been a long - but soooo worth it - journey.
Keep positive and look after yourself and we will see your BFP here soon xxx

Sorry to hear of your loss, pdxmom. I know how you feel. I had ectopic (mtx in May AND July) last May and had a loss this month. Found out I was pregnant day before Valentine's Day and lost it the following Sunday. Totally gutted. If I get pregnant again, I'm going to request a progesterone check just in case something's up with that.
Hugs sent your way!

Glad to see some of you ladies have your precious babies baking! Baby dust to all of you working on it!!

I just spend the last two days sporadically reading all 309 pages of this thread. JSPARR, Renzal, Epump, FreshPresh, and everyone else who has success stories has made these past two days so much more bearable! I'm SO happy for you guys!! Also, as I was reading them I could see based on your signatures or pictures that you finally got pregnant again and had healthy babies, so it was like knowing this fabulous secret that it would happen so soon for you guys!! Mazal tov!!!

I found this thread because two weeks we found out we were having another miscarriage. And a week after that found out it was ectopic. I was devestated. THEN found out we had to get this methotrexate shot. I got that on Monday. Just had blood results and ultrasound today. Doctor says ultrasound looks good and it hasn't gotten any bigger. Just waiting on the HCG. So far beta has been 24, 190, 85, 47, 55, 70, 57, (Methotrexate shot). I just want all this to be over so we can start trying again!!!! And also so my FS can start doing the miscarriage workup! Since reading your thread, I am really so hopeful that a healthy baby is somewhere in our future, hopefully very near future!

Also, my FS said we only had to wait for one cycle of AF before we can start trying again. He is a really well known respected fertilit speialist. Obviously what your doctors worried me, but he has assured me its fine. So we just have to wait and wait!!

How is everyone else doing after their shots? I'm just feeling very tired and achy!

for everyone TTC again....it will happen!!!!! Gd willing!!!!!

 

[jammers77]

Sorry for your loss, Rachel. It's a hard thing to endure any loss, but an ectopic is especially worrying. Glad your numbers are falling. Hang in there--it'll happen for you.

 

[Rachel613]

Thanks Jammers

The doctors office JUST called. The numbers went up, but not much. From 57 to 66 - they said its normal and in a few more days they will start to go down. hopefully!

 

[allforthegirl]

Rachel613 I am so sorry you landed yourself here.

You only have to wait for three months if you received two shots, but because your hCG was so low was the reason you only had the one. That is why you don't need to wait as long for the drug to leave your system.

Yes you will hold your forever babe very soon. What I tell myself to get through it is to keep telling myself that there is a reason, maybe it just wasn't time for us to meet yet. But I know the time will come.

GL my dear we are here for you!!

 

[Rachel613]

Thank you Allforthegirl! How is your 3 months going along? I'm sure its so hard, waiting is the worst! Anything positive from it?

Today I started to have pretty bad pain in my leg on the same side as my ectopic and where they injected the shot. Has anyone else had this?

What day are you on since your shot? My Dr said that there is a chance that pain will get worse day 4-7 which is normal and the drug doing its job.

I guess the one thing that you can say that is good coming from this, is that OH and I are taking some time for ourselves come the time that we are going to be TTC again!! We haven't taken a trip just the two of us since my older boys dad was alive, and before our LO. So we are very excited about this spa get away!! Another thing would be that OH and I are getting closer too, talking more. It is nice!

 

[pdxmom]

Hi Rachel...i c tht u got your shot on the 25th...so did i...my numbers were pretty low too...35,25,33,23 and then shot....even tho my numbers were low my doc still asked me to wait 12 weeks...now tht u say your nubers were kinda low like mine i wonder y the difference in wait time...be strong my dear....good times await us all

 

[Renzalxx]

Hi Rachel
So sorry for your loss and that you are here but the ladies here are amazing and so supportive.
I cant stress enough about allowing yourself time to heal before trying to conceive again. It is so hard to wait but as you have read, alot of us miscarried our first BFP after the shots (whether we had one shot or two) and after waiting the preferred 3 months. It is terribly toxic stuff and damages your eggs... allow yourself time to heal hun and for your heart to mend... your BFP is just around the corner and look forward to seeing your good news on here soon xxx

 

[Laubull]

Girls I am with Renzal, I lost my first BFP after waiting 3 months. The advice we are given in the UK is to wait 3 months regardless of how many shots or your HCG levels. I know 3 months feels like a long time but it is worth it in the end. Plan lots of things to do through the 3 months, focus on your relationship and look forward to what will be around the corner, a BFP

Sorry there are so many new girls joining us

Renzal, only 4 weeks to go! How are you feeling?

Hi All
Just wanted to quickly pop in and give an update as this thread was my saving grace for so very long.
I conceived 6 months after methotextrate and everything is going great so far!
Had my first ultrasound at 7 weeks 5 days and the baby is in my uterus and a heart beat is beating away!
I am so very thankful and still cautiously optimistic. but I am excited and just so thankful.

I got for my next OB appt on March 21, and I'll be 10 weeks 6 days at that point!

For me, seeing stories of success from babymaybe, chig, and so many others helped me get through.

good luck everyone!

 

[allforthegirl]

grace10209 Congrats!! You too are now us newbies saving grace as well. It give us hope!!

 

[Rachel613]

Renzal and Laubull, I agree with you guys too. It's worth it to wait. Also, my FS is doing a workup once I reach 0 beta so while we are figuring out what is wrong its good to not try. I would prefer to wait a few more months and not have to go through this again. Once you guys got your shot, how much longer was it until you got you sticky BFP??

PDX, have you got your numbers back since the Metho shot? I go back on Monday for another round of blood and ultrasound. I really hope they are going down!!! Also, I am from Oregon....I'm assuming with the PDX you are from Portland?!?

Thanks for all the support everyone!! It helps so so much!!
