Hi
I have been reading your posts for the last week and have finally registered.

Firstly I am so happy to hear all the recent good news about new BFP's!

I was diagnosed with an ectopic pregnancy in my right tube on Sept 3rd & got my 1st shot on Sept 5th. Hcg levels were around 700 on day of the shot, rose to 922 on day 4 then fell to 782 or so on day 7 so no where near enough the required 15% drop.

Got another shot on 11th and spent two days in agony and have been bleeding since. Thankfully my hcg dropped another 6% by day 4 then a whopping 26% by day 7. By yesterday (day 11) they had fallen to 262 so another whopping 45%. I am so glad this is coming to an end, despite being so heartbroken that my april baby wasn't to be.

After not wanting another baby for the past 6 years, my husband is now agreeable to trying again and I am so desperate to start trying in December.
I just hope that i get under 5 soon to start popping the folic acid though the hospital have said I can eat as much spinach, broccoli and sprouts as I want (which is daily!)

I really hope to log on daily to keep up with you all, hear success stories and meet friends!

Ann

Welcome Annie! So sorry for your loss. It is very hard to go through what we all have experienced. On the bright side, there are tons of positive outcomes after the shot. Many of us are proof right now! We are here if you need to talk or vent! xoxoxo

Loving all the good news ive been readin ...

Ladies think I need help... first month off ttc after shot and AF was due yesterday with no sign. Been having symptoms so took test 2 days ago which was negative, took another this morning and got a very faint line. When should i take another one?

After having the shot i found out my mum was pregnant then she came to visit me here in Turkey and while on holiday she had a MC. Not sure what ill feel like if i get a stronger BFP or how ill be able to tell my mum when the time comes :/.

aww, sorry to hear of your loss.

I wish you lots of luck with the BFP....and hope little bean is settled into the right place for you this time.

If youre worried about your mum, i guess she will understand as the tables were turned before (when you had ectopic, she fell PG) Its not like you have done anything to hurt her on purpose, so im sure she will be ok and happy for you.

I can imagine youre probably remembering how you felt when you had your loss and then realised your mum was expecting, and you maybe feel thats how your mum will feel? I think you should have a good chat with her if you can, or maybe send her a note in a card if its hard to talk.

I have been in similar situation, when i miscarried years ago, my mum also became pregnant very soon after, like a month later or so...i must admit, i did feel bit upset but you do get over it dont you. And also, on the same day I was in hospital having my methotrexate injection (id been admitted the night before) my brother and his girlf - AND one of my hubbys best mates, were both in the same hospital at the same time, giving birth. That felt very strange and sad for us too. But i was happy for them, i really was. I even managed to pop up and see them both on the ward and hold the babies. I did feel sad, but not because theyd had babies and i didnt, just because id had such a traumatic experience and MY baby was gone, do you know what i mean? xx

good luck talking to your mum. x

I'd test again in the morning... Actually... I'd call your doc right now and get in for blood work. I think it's important to get tested right away so they can make sure your hcg is doubling.

For my, AF is due today and I have no sign of it coming. We were planning on trying after this, so I'm not sure what's going on. I guess I'll test tomorrow if it doesn't come today, but I really don't think there's any way I could be pregnant right now........... Damn you AF! Why can't you come first thing in the morning when you are due! Don't make me wait!!!! Haha

 

[Dee1989]

Thank you for your kind words. I dont know why but i took another test tonight and that was negative. Wonder if my body is just not right after the d&c and shot. I will take another on Sunday if AF still not here. The only symptoms ive been havin is going to loo much more exspecially at night, tender breasts, so hungry, tired but cant sleep. I guess they are also symptoms of AF.

You are right, i did feel upset when i found out my mum was pregnant. I was happy for her but i didnt show it, wish i did. When she lost the baby here in Turkey visiting me, although I knew how it felt I just didnt really know what to say. She seems to have come through it much stronger than I did but I know how good my mum is at keeping things inside.

Im so sorry for your loss and you have really helped me to ease my mind. My body feels so crazy right now so I guess ill wait untill Sunday then ill post the outcome. Thank you so much for replying xx

Hi ladies! I have been on vacation for the past 2 weeks, and there is so much to catch up on. I'm so glad that there has been a lot of good news in the past few weeks!

Hpyns, OMG you are totally PUPO with twins! That is amazing, so when is your official test date?

Tray, congrats! I hope that this is your forever baby.

Coxy, congrats to you too! Any news from your doctor about getting a blood test?

As for me, it looks like I will be able to add to the recent positive news on this thread! After the chemical in August, and b/c DH and I knew we were going on vacation in mid September, we didn't do any treatment with the FS for this cycle other than the fact that I still took my clomid on CD 3-7. I got a positive OPK on CD 15, and DH and I figured that it couldn't hurt to try on our own. I had noticeable cramping on CD 16, so I figured I must have ovulated. Fast forward 2 weeks, today is 14 DPO, and I got a BFP! My boobs have been sore and I have been nauseous on and off, so I thought this morning before I took the test that there was a chance. The test turned positive right away, before I even had a chance to leave the bathroom! I will go to the FS on Monday for a blood test, and I have everything crossed for a good beta!

 

[JPARR01]

Omg of congrats!!!!!! Super happy for you! Please let me know how you make out at the doctor. Woop woop!

 

[Hpyns4life]

Michelle!!!! Congrats!!! You lucky girl you

I'm in the tww now Not the usual tww though because there's no use symptom spotting because I'm on progesterone and estrogen so they are causing every PG symptom in the books So I have nothing to obsess over, just have to wait. My official beta blood tests are Oct. 3rd and 5th, but I'm pretty sure I'll test at 12dpo (or days past egg retrieval, which equates to the same thing) on my own with an HPT. I've here's a chance of a false negative, but I don't think I'll be strong enough not to test.

 

[TrAyBaby]

wow congrats Michelle that is awesome news fingers crossed we both get good beta results in a few days.

And Hpyns my fingers are crossed for you too eeeeeeeek this thread is so exciting right now.

Congrats Michelle78!!!

Hi!
Ive been reading all your posts too, since i recently went through the same experience you all did. Im glad there are other people who can share what they've been through, this way we can support and help one another. And i'm glad some of you are already expecting. This gives me hope.

I was diagnosed with an ep on March (i was using Clomid), and was given the 2 MTX shots. When i had my first shot, my DR told me i should wait at least 3 mos, to TTC again. A week later, after my first dose, i was given a 2nd one. At first she told me, that with this 2nd dose, the minimum waiting period to TTC should be at least 6mos.! And as if 6 mos. weren't a long period enough, she later told me that I had to wait a whole YEAR to start TTC again! Just to make sure the scarring had healed properly, and prevent future ep.
But its been 6 mos now, and i'm starting to feel a little impatient. I used to have irregular periods before my ep, and after the "event" my period just happened to turn to regular periods. So i've been having them since June pretty much on a regular monthly basis.
After reading all your posts, I think a YEAR is a little too much waiting, dont you think? You've all been saying about DR telling to wait 6mos.

I feel fine, i've been having my periods every month since June, I already have a 5 yr old daughter, and wouldnt want to wait too much longer.

Should i look for a 2nd opinion? Should i start TTC right away?

Me, my DH and our daughter are REALLY looking forward for a little brother or sister.

HI Sandy
Im so sorry to hear about your loss! I know how frustrating the wait can be and I am currently a month away from TTC myself.
I had 4 x MTX shots over a period of 8 days through a womens maternity hospital and was told that once my levels went down to zero I had to take folate every day for three months and we could start trying again. I did however have a cornual ectopic and no surgery on my tubes so your situation may very well need a longer period but I would maybe get a second opinion? All in all the whole process has taken approx 6 months so I too am feeling anxious and excited at the same time....
Wishing you all the best in your babymaking ventures.

Hypns, I am soo excited for you.... bring on the twins... Yaaaay!

Michelle78, fantastic news. CONGRATULATIONS

There has been a ton of great news on here lately so I am feeling quite hopeful.

All the best laydeees xxx

OMG, Michelle!!!!!! Congrats!!!!! Eeeee, keep us posted!!!!

 

[coxy1978]

Congrats Michelle to you too!

My doc still didnt want to do my bloods til 6 weeks, but i managed to swing it round to 5 weeks, so i have app with EPAU tomorrow and il be exactly 5 wks.

Ive been told its unlikely that they'll be able to see uch at 5 wks, but i just want bloods done so i can see whats happening. I feel much more nauseous than my ectopic preg - and whilst this seems like a good sign, i still worry it may be worse as it may mean my HGC higher and if ectopic, it may be more likely to rupture!

My symptoms seem very on and off which is what makes me dubious! One min bb's feel sore, the next they dont seem too bad. Tend to feel bit off in afternoons, but im no where near as sicky as i was with my other 3. I am going crazy thinking about stuff! xx

Good luck to you when you get your bloods done, post us the results! x
