TTC after Methotrexate shot

[JPARR01]

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!

The best thing for you to do is just relax! I know it is VERY stressful. I was a nervous wreck the first month coming back to TTC after the shot in March. Look what happened! I relaxed a bit and wam bam! First month a BFP!!!! THINK POSITIVE THOUGHTS! Fingers crossed for you! xoxoxo

Thank you for your encouragement! Somehow my excitement is outweighing the fear so far, so that's good. I noticed some stretchy cm today that might be ewcm, and I got SO excited. So, BDing is on like crazy the next few days!

Firstly congrats to all who have had their BFP and keeping fiingers and toes crossed for all of you TTC or in 2WW.

Finally my hcg numbers have started to fall properly and two weeks I was at 262, last week 105 and yesterday 15!! Fingers crossed for <5 next wednesday and I can start popping the folic acid again and getting my first proper AF and ovulation.

I am feeling so much more optimistic and I really have all you ladies to thank as your posts are keeping me focused on what is to come.

Hi ladies, Im in limbo land at the mo, af has been like clockwork since the mtx shot in feb but she was due wednesday and I poas but got a bfn, then af was a no show and still hasnt arrived. Trying to hold out to the weekend to test again as dh thinks it was probably too early the day af was due and I only used a cheap morrisons hpt.

Does anyone still think I may be in with a chance?

Ooooh Bells, sounds promising to me... I too have been like clockwork (even more so than before) so heres keeping everything crossed for you hun...
I too tested a day or two after my missed period and was a BFN... three days later.... BFP so it does take a little while. Mind you, I would have gone through 20 HPT by now as i am too impatient
Good Luck and keep us posted...

Presh & Tray, will be thinking of you both for nice fertilized eggies in the right place. xxxx
..... here, have a bunny tooshie

Thank you for your reply. Im just trying not to get my hopes up to be disappointed but at the same time worrying something is wrong, I thought if I was lucky this cycle then it would show by the day af was due if everything was ok.

Aw Bells n bump .... i think i know what you're thinking... try not to worry. Although i know that is easily said than done!

My first month trying again, i was late...and i thought the worst when tests were showing neg, as most people seem to get a nice early pos, dont they?!

Its more likely that you ovulated late due to the extra worrying about the whole TTC thing... Did you carry on after your predicted ovulation date? That BFP may still arrive!

AFM, I'm feeling so .... its been awful. Couldnt keep a thing down the other day and went to docs yesterday for some anti-sickness drugs. he gave me 2 types, but unfortunately they just wack me out! I felt like i was on another planet yesterday. didnt want to take tabs today but feeling rough and rather not be sick all day so ive taken them now! I'l be asleep in a while!

Also, im STILL experiencing twinging on my ectopic side...its been really bothering me. I believe i have got a little bean in the right place (due to the excessive sickness) but now keep worrying i may have another one in the tube! I'd also had a couple of wee's where i felt like a throb in my side (which is an ectopic symptom) And when i sneezed the other day i got a sharp shootig pain in the side, and just general little twinges...its driving me crazy! Why cant it just go away and let me relax!

Ive explained symptoms to doc but he says as im not bleeding and not in any obvious pain from examination, i need to just wait for the next scan on Wednesday coming! Huh! I know this is true, but then i never got any serious pain with previous ectopic....tho i did bleed.

Im going to be soooo relieved when this first trimester is over. How awful to just be wishing it all away after what we've been through before!

 

[Bells n Bump]

Thank you for your reply Coxy, thats exactly what I'm thinking everyone else seems to get lovely early bfp's.

I have got a couple FRER for tomorrow but now I have started with light pink/light brown spotting, does anyone think this could be implantation bleeding at 14-16dpo or af is on her way? I dont have any consistant cramping like usual af just the odd little cramp from time to time.

Any advice as to what is going on would be greatly appreciated, thank you for your support ladies xxx

 

[TrAyBaby]

Bells it could be implantation, esp if you did ovulate later due to worring. My fingers are crossed for you testing.

Hey Coxy you could just be more tender from your uterus just starting to expand and things might just be feeling more twingy on your ectopic side cause it has been through some trauma, more so than the other side. Did you say you are getting a scan next wednesday??? Im getting one too that day as well at 8:30am. I'll be 6w2d, how far along will you be??????? I hope we both have sticky beans in the right place.

Presh hows the going?

 

[Bells n Bump]

Thank you tray, Im hoping Im still in but this is so annoying the Frer was bfn with fmu and the spotting has stopped?!?

Is it too much to ask for either bfp or af? Im going nuts here I just wanna know where Im at.

Xxx

 

[TrAyBaby]

now dont exactly quote me on this but i remember reading somewhere that after implantation it takes a few days for any hcg to reach your blood stream then a few days after that for it to reach your urine.....so there's still time chica x

 

[Bells n Bump]

Thank you tray. Unfortunately it was just af taking her time, she finally called by today 4 days late!! On to next month ttc!!

Hi everyone,

I am scheduled for an HSG (hysterosalpingogram) on Wednesday afternoon to check my tubes. I got AF on October 3rd but I have been feeling lightheaded, and very nauseous the last few days, enough for me to call out sick from work one day. The first time (and only time) I found out I was pregnant I was 5-6 weeks pregnant however I had just had AF a week before that. I'm probably one of those women that get AF while pregnant. Very scary and not reassuring.

Doctor wants to me check my HCG levels the day before (on Tuesday) just to be certain I am not pregnant before flushing out my tubes. It would be a very nice surprise if I am pregnant.

 

[PreshFest]

I am 99% sure that I ovulated on my NON ECTOPIC side yesterday! I had pain on my right side all day long. So that is very encouraging. So I'm officially in my 2WW. We will BD one more time tonight just to make sure, but then after that we are officially done ttc for this month. I'm feeling good about it, though! I've only tried to get pregnant twice before and was successful both times, so hopefully this is the same.

I have a really good feeling this time for some reason. Last time I didn't.

And let me just say... TTC with a toddler in the house is no easy task. Got walked in on for the first time lol...

Wish me luck and lots of patience for the next 2 weeks!

 

[TrAyBaby]

goodluck Presh i hope the tww passes quick for you and you get your flashy bfp

AFM- i had blood taken this morning cause my doc wants to check my hcg levels before my scan on wednesday, i get the results tomorrow. Im so nervous. I wish i could relax and start to enjoy this pregnancy. I just need to see my little bean on wednesday with its heart beating away and i'll relax.

 

[Michelle78]

Presh, I hope this 2ww goes by quickly for you. I know what you mean about the feeling you get. I didn't have a good feeling before my 1st scan with the pregnancy I lost in March, but I have felt good about this one, and so far so good. Fingers crossed for you!

Tray, I'm sure everything will go great on Wednesday. You will have to update us.

AFM, I had my 1st scan this morning and I am having twins!! They look great, with both of their hearts already beating. They each measured 6w1d, which is right on track because I know I ovulated on CD 16 rather than CD 14 (my ticker is based on LMP, so I may change that). I am so over the moon right now!

 

[epump]

Good luck to NewYorker and Presh - I hope there are some big BFPs around the corner for you all.

Bells, sorry AF got you this month! Next month xoxo

Tray, is this 2nd or 3rd beta for you?? Fingers crossed for a good u/s on Wed!

Doesn't Michelle have an u/s this week as well??

Lots happening in here - so exciting!!

 

[epump]

OMG, I just saw your post Michelle!!!!!!!! TWINS - how exciting!!

A million congrats to you - that is amazing!!!
