TTC after Methotrexate shot

[HerdingMomma]

Thanks for the welcome.

Just got my latest hcg result. They wanted to see 400 and it came back at 317!! It's dropping nicely! I go back in a week. Not as low as *I* wanted to see it, but I'll take it.

allforthegirl... I've also been reading your journal and just came to the blanket you made for your nephew. I'm assuming that's knitted? I have some of that type yarn, but I'm not so good at knitting, and it doesn't seem to crochet well. Any pointers? I can knit the pom pom yarns great, since tension isn't an issue with those, but I'm dying to use that awesome baby yarn!

That pattern was actually an easy one. It only took me a week or so to do it too. But even just doing a pearled blanket would be even easier. Just make sure you use a chunky beginner pattern. I am not all that good at it either. I even had a couple mistakes in that blanket, but I was happy enough with it.

Your blanket gave me the determination to find patterns I can do with that yarn, and I found three different crochet patterns for it. Hoping I can do it. Figuring out what all the abbreviations mean is easy. Figuring out how to translate it into actual stitching may take some doing. The instructions on the one I like best aren't exactly clear. To me, that is.

Ha ha! Just found the same pattern but written for Lion's Brand bulky yarn instead of Bernat Baby Blanket and the instructions appear to be the same, but as I read it.... something clicked. Now I know I can do it! LOL

I can't wait to see it!!

I started on the Bernat Baby Blanket project, but had also found another pattern and set the first aside and then started it to see how it would go, and worked on it all weekend. I'm loving this one! But it won't let me post a picture until I get to 10 posts. So here's one closer, I guess.

Oh, how do you decide on a date for your ectopic loss? The day you found out? When hcg starts dropping? When it's all gone? With my mmc in November I chose the loss date that coincided with my D&C for my sig, but on the plaque that goes with the memory tree my sister got us it shows the date it appears the baby actually died, at 7w4d. For now I just have the month shown for my ectopic angel. Found out it was ectopic in early Feb, and if my quickly lightening HPTs are any indication, it *could* be resolved by the end of Feb.

Gotten positive opk the last two days and my hpts look like the ones before my first beta.... That came in at 46. Blood draw tomorrow.

Eagerly awaiting today's hcg result. And posting about it so I can get to 10. LOL

 

[HerdingMomma]

It's down to 20 from 317 a week ago!!!!!

Hi herdingmomma, I went through an ectopic and mtx almost a year ago also. Great to hear your hcg is falling nicely. My advice is pamper yourself, before you know it you'll be back to normal

 

[HerdingMomma]

Thanks, Summer!

Loads of luck to you for your IUI next month!!
