TTC after Methotrexate shot

[TrAyBaby]

hey Coxy good luck for tomorrow x

 

[PreshFest]

Hey ladies... I have a question for you all. My 2nd AF since mtx came on Friday! YAY! But I've noticed that during these 2 periods has been the only time that I haven't felt any pain on my ectopic side. When AF is not here, I get random pains just about every day. Have any of you experienced this?

Today is CD4 and we are planning on TTC starting on CD10. Having these pains makes me a little worried, but from what I've seen, it's common to have that for a long time for some people. And it doesn't necessarily mean that anything is wrong....

Ugh.

i was a little tender on my ectopic side (right side) for a few weeks, i do remember that. At night, as well, when sleeping on my back i couldnt have my right leg straight as it felt like it was stretching my side too much, so i would have to bend my knee a little. I still get that stretching too much/tender feeling when i lay flat on my back to this day but it could just be bad memories and my mind playing tricks.

Preshfest and TrAy,

Ive always experienced twinging on that side since, and after the 5th month, it did actually settle a little, however, ive now fallen PG (on the 6th month since methotrexate)and its twinging like crazy and driving me insane! I want to believe its just sensitive as the uterus is stretching near it etc, but its making me sooooo paranoid that ive got another ectopic! Im beginning to wonder if these worries will ever go away.
Sometimes - even before i was PG again, i used to have to do the opposit TrAy, id have to stretch my leg out as sometimes if i was all tucked up, it would feel like i was squashing the tube and i would feel like a pressure build up in that area....difficult to explain but weird. i dont think we imagine it - i really think these twinges are there, but god knows why!!! (big sighhhhhh)

Good luck Presh, i hope you fall PG with ease and fingers crossed when you do, all will be ok.

I'l be checking back tomo....prob feeling glum from not getting the rassurance i need from my hosp doctors! x

Thanks for all the well wishes ladies!! I finally got the call back from the FS, and my beta is 1142 I am so glad to see such a nice, strong beta after everything that happened in March. I go back on Wednesday for another beta to make sure that it is increasing like it should.

 

[epump]

Michelle, that beta is HUGE!! How many DPO are you?? This is such great news so far!! Fingers crossed for you xxoo

 

[Michelle78]

I know! I was hoping for somewhere between 600-700 and when she said 1142 I was shocked. I am pretty sure that I am 16 DPO today. I did take clomid this cycle even though I didn't do an IUI, so there is the possibility of twins!

 

[TrAyBaby]

wow michelle that is a beautiful beta number. I get my 2nd beta result tomorrow(that i got done on friday), ive had to wait all weekend and the holiday monday cause the doctors office was closed. So tomorrow i will be 17dpo and getting the beta results from 13dpo. eeeeek fxed for good numbers too.

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.

All the best laydeees xxx

Thank you Renzalxx!
Thankfully, I didn't have surgery on my tube either. So, that's basically where my anxiousness comes from! 2 MTX shots within a week, no surgery was needed, 6 mos have passed, regular periods....ONE YEAR WAIT??!!!!
Probably I'll end up looking for that 2nd opinion anyway!

Wish u the best of luck on your TTC journey!

Please keep me posted!

BTW! My best friend just found out she's pregnant for 3rd time!!!!! I've been TTC even before she was pregnant with her 2nd one almost three years ago! Don't get me wrong, I'm happy for her!! And she even told me she was going to make me the baby's godmother!
But sometimes it is hard to see everyone around you getting pregnant so easily, while some of us have to struggle.

I'm just hopeful and confident =)

Again to all of us, and happy for those who are already expecting their little miracles!

Great numbers Tray!!! Wahoo!

 

[Michelle78]

Tray, what great news!! Do you have to repeat the blood again, or are you done? My clinic does 3 blood draws, so it is making this entire week very stressful! That's great that they are going to push your scan up to 6 weeks. My 1st scan will be at 6 weeks too.

Coxy, fingers crossed that you get good news today.

JPARR, I just noticed your scan picture, it is too cute!!

Hi girls, good news all round then!!!! Well done TrAy!! Thats fab news!
Good luck michelle!!

My scan went well and doctor assures me it is all ok this time. We could only see a sac but she says its definately a pregnancy sac not a sudo sac, so im trusting that she is right. She said, im 5wks and 2 days! i worked out %wks exactly today going by Ovulation testers, but never mind. Wonder which is most accurate? x

Im going back in 2 wks time to check little bean and heartbeat!

I just feel a masssssive weight off my shoulders. Doc said no point in doing my bloods now... does that sound right to you others? I was very surprised they didnt just do them anyway!
