TTC after Methotrexate shot

[Michelle78]

Coxy, that is great news! I'm so glad that you have that weight off your shoulders. Since you have already seen the sac and you are measuring right on schedule, your doctor is probably right about not needing any bloodwork.

Coxy thats brilliant news about your scan. Bet you cant wait to see that little heart beating in 2 weeks. If you get pics will you post them?

Tray & Coxy, so very excited for you both and sending you all the good luck and sunshine I can muster for happy healthy little vegemites xxx Bet you are both sleeping alot easier now.
Keep us up to date with your progress

Hi girls,

Good luck to all of you ladies still trying or waiting to try! x xx

Hi ladies, just got the results from today's beta, and its now 2013. My doubling time is about 58-59 hours, which made me a little nervous, but the clinic told me that once the hcg levels get over 1200 the doubling time becomes a little longer, and since I was already at 1142 with the last beta that everything looks great. I wish that I could just relax!!

Michelle, i wish I could relax too! Im an absolute worrying, crazy, obsessive, annoying, paranoid mess! LOL!

But your betas do look great! thats so fab!

I have a feeling mine is surging every 72 hours, as ive noticed a pattern. I hope thats still within a healthy range? Might do some googling. Its been bothering me.
Actually, this is why i think they should have done my blinkin bloods! At least id actually have some idea!

 

[TrAyBaby]

i know what you mean one minute im totally relaxed and letting myself enjoy being pregnant a little the next im totally paranoid and worring myself sick that something is going to go wrong. I just hope these next few weeks pass quite quick, think i'll be able to stress less once i see the little flickering bean (in the right place FXed)

Those are great numbers Michelle! When are they getting you in for an ultrasound!?!?!

 

[Michelle78]

Coxy, I'm sure everything is healthy with your levels. You are probably not doubling every 48 hours anymore either, since your levels are probably well over 1200 at this point. I don't think you would have been able to see the sac without your levels being over 1200. Once the hcg is over 1200 the doubling time is actually 72-96 hours, so I bet you are in good shape!

Tray, I'm right there with you. I keep telling myself that once I have an ultrasound and see the heartbeat I will be able to relax and enjoy being pregnant!

JPARR, my first ultrasound should be next weekend. My clinic does the 1st ultrasound at 6 weeks. Going by LMP, I will be 6 weeks on Friday 10/7. It is going to be a long next week that's for sure!!

Michelle, my betas doubled in 51 hours when I was still below 1200. But you're right - after 1200 the doubling time goes up. They look fab!!

Thinking of you newly pregnant ladies!! The first few weeks are SO HARD!! Hang in there - sending you all lots of love!!

can someone please give me hope for the future?!I just went through a twin ectopic pregnancy.They found the first twin and removed it surgically with a laproscopic sugery and at the same time saved my right tube. Then when my numbers continued to double and triple they did another ultrasound and found the second baby not that far from where the first was. Because I am or wasnt in any real pain they decided to treat it with methotrexate and gave me a decent size dose due to the fact my numbers were really high. After going through all this I am very very scared to try for another baby for the fear of going through another ectopic, especially another twin ectopic. Has anyone had an ectopic and went on to have a healthy pregnancy? Please I really need hope.

Pixxie: There are quite a few women on this thread alone that have gone on to have happy healthy pregnancies after their ectopics. It's a very scary road and there are some very difficult emotions to go through, but believe me, you can do it. Try to rest up now and grieve in your own way. I'm so sorry for your loss Heal up hun

pixxie,

awwwww, i just wanna give you a massive hug!
you must have been so devastated after thinking theyd resolved it, to go on and discover there is another one! and double your loss?.

Well the good news is, there is def HOPE.

I spent 3 months wondering if id find the courage to try again after my ectopic, and after initially TTC again in the firt month, i wanted to reverse DTD and not be in with a chance of being PG because i was soooo scared of it all going wrong again and going through that experience again.

We eventually fell on our 3rd month TTC again, and I cannot lie, its been scary. But if you have time to sit and read back through the pages of posts, you'll see that sooo many of us have now had successfull pregnancies. There is lots of hope.

Good Luck to you and i hope you find some comfort in joining this group, i know i have, and the girls are lovely and all understand. x

 

[coxy1978]

Hapyns,

Wishing you lots of luck with your blood test today. my Fxd for you! xxxx

 

[TrAyBaby]

aww pixxie your story made me so sad but you've come to the right place. The girls on here are so supportive and always here when you need them. And there is hope, as coxy said there are so many of us on here who are now pregnant after our ectopics. It is completely scary but absolutly worth it if we get our babies. Stay strong chica

AFM- today im offically 5 weeks and just outta curiosity i took a clearblue digital this morning and yup it showed 3+weeks just as it should've And whats even more exciting is that my doctor has moved my scan dates. Was due my 1st scan on 20th october (7w2d) but now im getting it next week on 13th october (6w2d) eeeeeeeeeek. Please be in the right place little bean.

Hpyns goodluck today with your beta, i'll be thinking of you x

 

[PreshFest]

Officially TTC starting today! Wish me lots of luck.

For those of you who are pregnant now, how did you feel when you got your bfp? I get the feeling that I'm going to be terrified and that's sad!!!

 

[Michelle78]

Pixxie, so sorry for your losses As the other ladies, have said there are lots of people on this thread who are in the midst of healthy pregnancies after having an ectopic/suspected ectopic. I know how scary it is, but there are success stories!

Tray, for the early scan. Mine is on 10/10, and I will be 6w3d, This week is going to go by so slowly!

Hpyns, I am thinking about you this morning and have everything crossed for some good news from your beta.

Presh, so exciting that you are TTC again! Hopefully this 1st cycle will be all you need.

 

[New Yorker]

Pixxie,

Sorry for your loss but you have come to the right place. We have all gone through the same thing and we all know how painful it can be. The good thing, as you have already heard, is that some have already gotten pregnant after Methotrexate and are well on their way to a healthy pregnancy!

 

[Renzalxx]

Good luck to all you ladies with your upcoming scans and especially Hypns with your tests this morning, will be thinking of you x

I'm due to ovulate tomorrow or Saturday!! I'm nervous, though. This morning I woke up with some pretty strong pains on my ectopic side. It lasted about 5 minutes and then went away. Then about an hour later I had some pain on my right side, too. So I'm not sure what's going on down there! But i still really hope I ovulate from my right side!! Sometimes gas can irritate my ectopic tube, so I'm hoping that's what that was this morning.... I'm still very excited and very hopeful that everything will work out this time, though!
