TTC after Methotrexate shot

[jammers77]

Aww, Rachel, so glad you got your much-needed and much-deserved vacation!!! I'm so glad it left you feeling rested and refreshed. Sometimes we just need to get away for a bit, get our minds reset. I'm sure you and your OH must feel so much better.

Thanks for asking about me! I had an ultrasound on Tuesday. As soon as she stuck the wand up my hoohah (gotta laugh, that stuff is just hideous lol), we saw a little beanie and a blipping heartbeat. Right from the get-go! I was measuring 2 days behind (at 5w6d), and the hb was 95. I've read conflicting reports on 95 being normal or on the low side, but the tech told us that everything looked great and that the hb was just right for how baby was measuring. Then yesterday I had my first OB appt for all the blood work and the gonorrhea swab. Ugh. In spite of hubby being my only partner, they still have to do that. Can't help but feel a little insulted, but I know it's just standard protocol so I swallow my feelings. lol I may have another u/s in 4 weeks--the ARNP I saw wasn't certain, but said they might want to do another one since the one on Tuesday was so early. I'm feeling pretty good--the back cramping is still there, and I talked to her about it, and she said I would feel that for a while, but it should be reducing in intensity as time goes on. She was right--it has. Last night, hubby made himself a fried egg sandwich for dinner (he was late getting home from work and the boys and I didn't leave him leftovers hehehe), and the smell was awful. Eggs bothered me with my youngest son.

I hope how soon you will be experiencing these things too, and all of the rest of these beautiful ladies here.

LeahMSta, looking for an update from you. Hope you gals are ok.

So girls i need some help...some girls on another thread im on have taken fertilaid and fertilcm and have gone ahead to get bfps...i was thinking of trying tht from now itself so tht it works itself in my body by the time im ready to start trying...ive read online tht u shud not take fertilaid with clomid ( which i was on both the times i got preggers ) so i was thinking tht i could take the fertilaid and cm now up until the time my doc prescribes clomid...wat u do think?? do u think it would still interfere with eachother?? any thoughts on this would b helpful...thanks

I honestly don't know. I don't even know what these things are, I have heard about them though.

But if I started having issues getting PG then I may look further into those things and try anything I could to bring this little one into this world.

Let us know what your plans are...

Sorry about the delay in posting. Dw tested and it was negative as we expected. We both felt a little silly for even being worried but now we can breathe. See.s it is just a tummy virus or something that she was dealing with. We started insemination for this cycle a couple of days ago. We were going to SMEP but our donor had some stuff going on today so it will be an almost SMEP. This is our 13th month of ttc. We are just going to hope that it is our last one too.

Viruses can really make cycle symptoms go wonky. Glad that she's ok!

So my HSG test is scheduled for this Thursday. It's at 2:30PM, should I go back into work afterwards? or will I be in pain? thoughts?!! I'm so excited to start the investigatory process into all my troubles

Everyone is different but for me it was very painful. I took off work the rest of the afternoon.

Alley - Thanks for the info! I see on your signature that you had HSG and found out your left tube was blocked. Was that because of your ectopic? Did they do anything to un-block it??

Hope you get your BFP soon!!!

 

[alleysm]

It most likely was due to ectopic. Its blocked at the uterus so nothing can be done.

Hey there...so sorry for your loss...i actually had a methotrexate injection just sat for my second ectopic pregnancy (1st one also treated with methotrexate). My first dr. (1st ectopic told me to wait 6 months before TTC. I'm glad I got a second opinion because you only have to wait 3 months...some women can successfully conceive after 2 with no birth defects. it is chemo so it will attack any new cells in your body and it does stay in your system for about 2 months I believe (i think they want one normal cycle after this). Hope this helps...i totally know what you are feeling...you want to start right away again! But just remember you could be doing harm to any new baby that would begin growing too soon. Good luck to you!

Gosh girl I am sorry you had to go through this horrible thing twice!! I hope things work out for you really soon

 

[jammers77]

ectopicpast, so sorry this has hit you twice now. Virtual hugs to you for your rainbow baby!!

 

[ectopicpast]

Thanks you guys...I think the toughest thing is that they dont think we can conceive naturally anymore since i've had an ectopic on each side We are already saving for IVF in hopes that we may have some luck with this...have any of you heard of conceiving naturally after bilateral ectopics?

I haven't known anyone who's had an ectopic on each side, so I can't say one way or another. But there's always hope, hon. Hold on to that.
