TTC after Methotrexate shot

[Gwenylovey]

Hi Gweny
All good here thanks for your message... three weeks to go!, been a long slog since 2010so very excited indeed.
Hoping your travelling well sweets - You certainly deserve your little forever bear too and looking forward to hearing your good news on here soon x

Hi Renzalxx!!! It has been so long since I have been on the message board. You are definitely getting close to the finish line now. Wishing you an easy delivery to a healthy baby! We have all been through so much together and sharing our stories and glad to know that there can be a happy ending!

Good luck to all the ladies that have had to go through an ectopic pregnancy recently. Just know that there is hope for all of us after MTX.

Chig!! How are you doing? Almost there yourself! So exciting

 

[Renzalxx]

Thanks Chig
Certainly has been a wild ride but looks like our happy endings are just around the corner. How are things going with you and your little one?

Gweny, nearlly 16 weeks.... eeeek! Are you feeling many flutters and kicks yet?

There are so many new ladies here and my heart breaks for you al. Just know there is definately happiness around the corner and a light at the end of the tunnel. Hang in there and lots of baby dust to you xxx

Renzal, Gweny, and chig, it's so good to see you all are getting closer to your D-Days. I hope you have a smooth rest of your pregnancies!

I've been reading about you new ladies who've gone through ectopics recently, and it's awful. Knowing that there are pregnant ladies in your lives makes it so hard. The waiting to get to 0 is agonizing. But know that you're not alone, and you'll get that rainbow baby soon.

AFM, I caved today and tested at 10dpo. Squinter of a positive, but I'm a nervous wreck. Last month, I had a chemical, and seven months before that I had my second methotrexate shot. I've been wondering if that shot caused problems. I just don't know. At any rate, I'm just scared to death that this will be another loss. I'm glad I can come here and know that you all understand. Thanks, ladies, for reading my ranty drivel. It feels good to let it fly, because we won't be telling ANYONE (not even close friends) until we know it's a sticky baby. It's easier that way, but in some ways it's hard because you want to be able to tell SOMEONE. And you guys are my someone, because I know you're not going to tell.

I know its been awhile since I've been on...Hope all is going well..today AF is due... i tested last Saturday because of some pains I was having and was a BFN but was told that could be to early. I'm waiting to see what today and tomorrow holds. Been super emotional this week. Just started crying today for no reason. Hoping for a BFP...

Crossing my fingers for you!! Ugh. Don't you hate being over-emotional? It makes me feel like I'm ready for the looney-bin. I've been an emotional wreck this week. I've been hearing things that normally I wouldn't hear (like a little sound that my 13 year old DS makes when he brushes his teeth--a little grunting like sound). Things have just been irritating me so badly. My husband's light teasing has really peeved me off, which just makes him tease me more. I blew up at him yesterday, and he said, "Ok, I'm done now." lol Now that I know why I blew up, maybe I can tone it down a little.

Well a cautious Congrats to you my dear! I hope this one is your forever baby..... I have a good feeling so far!!

 

[Heidagirl]

Ill say a little prayer for you jammers. Hoping this is ur forever baby!

 

[Gwenylovey]

Thanks Chig

Gweny, nearlly 16 weeks.... eeeek! Are you feeling many flutters and kicks yet?

No flutters yet but anxiously anticipating them! I had a moment today where I thought maybe...just maybe I felt something but unsure. My midwife during an ultrasound said that I have an anterior placenta and that it might take awhile to feel things which is a downer. Last time I remember feeling flutters right around this time, so we will see!

Renzal, you are just about a week away....EEEEEEKKKK for real!! How are you feeling? Are you so ready? You must be just so ready to meet your little one. I'm so excited for you!

There are so many new ladies here and my heart breaks for you al. Just know there is definately happiness around the corner and a light at the end of the tunnel. Hang in there and lots of baby dust to you xxx

Jammers, I too will give you a cautiously optimistic congratulations!! I've had 2 chemical pregnancies and my bfp always came late on those. I'd say a bfp on 10 dpo, even a squinter, is a good sign! Please keep us posted!

 

[Gwenylovey]

Oh weird Renzal, my response to you went in the shaded box.

Here it is again!

Last time I remember feeling flutters right around this time, so we will see! I have an early fetal scan on Monday which I am both excited and nervous for, so hoping all looks good.

Renzal, you are just about a week away....EEEEEEKKKK for real!! How are you feeling? Are you so nervous? Excited? You must be just so ready to meet your little one. I'm so excited for you!

 

[Rachel613]

Thanks for all the support after that wedding ladies!!
Jammers, such great news!! Really hoping the best for you!! I know how nerve racking it can be and also how upsetting it is to not be able to be excited like "normal girls" when they see that line! Soo cute, you said "and you guys are my someone" I totally feel the same way. I can't talk to anyone in my life because they don't really know what its like to go through this....you all are definintely my someone too

ps. My numbers dropped from 60 to 9!! Yah!!! Next appointment is Tuesday....I'm feeling a zero!!! CAN"T WAIT to get af (haha weird!) because then we start testing to see if anything is wrong!

 

[Heidagirl]

Well ladies AF decided to show her face.... So I'm guessing another month of trying. I'm super bummed but ill keep trying and praying for a forever baby.

 

[Renzalxx]

Jammers that is fantastic news! I agree... a faint BFP at 10DPO is a fabulous sign. With my losses i always got mine late too but this time i too got a BFP at 10DPO... will have everything crossed for you hun, keep us posted!!


Ooh, Gweny, not long now till your little one will be giving you love jabs... soooo exciting! May take a little longer but you will be feeling them soon enough! I am so happy for you hun, you have been through such a hard slog - this your forever baby, you truly deserve it and i can feel it in my bones! As for me... nervous and excited at the same time. It has certainly been a roller coaster ride thats for sure! have a feeling though she wont show here little face until the 2nd April but will wait and see.
Good luck with your scan, it will be perfect hun and keep us posted.
Mwah x

I am sorry the caught up to you again. You will get your chance. Your babe is just shy so it may take some time for the little one to feel brave enough to catch! It will happen on your babes terms but it will happen.

 

[Laubull]

Jammers I am sure I got a faint BFP for this pregnancy about 10/11DPO, it is a good sign, be positive! Fingers crossed

 

[jammers77]

Rachel, 9 is so very close!! Next is zero!!! It's odd how we get anxious for AF. Seems soooo wrong, but you just want to go on. I felt like I couldn't get closure until I was at zero. You're almost there--one day at a time!!

Heidagirl, I'm sorry the witch showed up for you this time. Someone needs to confiscate her broom and give her a good whack up the backside! Doggone nasty witch.

 

[allforthegirl]

Jammers Great news!! Many ladies who get an early BFP are going on to have healthy babies.

 

[pdxmom]

Jammers all the best..awaiting the bfp pic
Rachel...wow 9 is awesome girl...so happy for u...
allforthegirl...its so inspiring to her how u feel abt all of our rainbow babies...all the best to u hun..
AFM...still no bleeding at all...goin on for a blood test on monday ...it will b 2 weeks since the last one where my number was 11...really hoping to c a 0....

 

[jammers77]

pdxmom, sometimes it takes a little bit for that period to start. For me, it was a day after the second shot. At the time of the second shot I was 13, and by the time I went to have blood work done three or four days later, I was at 0 and was bleeding at that time. I've read that some ladies have gotten theirs a couple of weeks after arriving at 0. Don't hesitate to ask your doctor if it's worrying you. That's what they're there for.

AFM I didn't realize I hadn't put the pic up. Doh! I did in another thread and forgot to include in this thread. I'm going to go grab more tests later this afternoon, and I'll post a pic showing progression (hopefully progression!).

GO progression GO!!

I started to bleed before I went in for my shot. I didn't bleed after I went to 0. I O'd about 7 days after a confirmed 0. So maybe that is what is going to happen with you too pdxmom. This is why I decided to start charting. I don't like to be in the dark, I WANTED to know what was happening for me. I am sure everything will work our well for you!!

 

[jammers77]

I agree with you, allforthegirl. I've been charting for years as my form of birth control, but after my ectopic experience, charting became my buddy for figuring out how things would look during the months afterward.

I'm starting to get a little excited and hopeful now. I bought another box of Answer tests today, and the test was so much darker today at 12dpo than my original squinter that I took two days ago at 10dpo.
