TTC after Methotrexate shot

[PreshFest]

Ugh... I seem to be losing symptoms!! This can't be good this early on.. Kind of worried! But what's new?? haha. Blood test tomorrow, so let's hope my #'s are rising!!

Congrats belleedancer, so happy for you and you give me hope! Jparr, a beautiful girl, so excited for you! Loving all the updates

Presh, from what I understand early pregnancy symptoms can come and go so try and stay positive! I'll be sending good vibes your way

As for me, my quant came back at <5 yesterday, so I am officially done with the blood draws!! Not as exciting as a BFP, but definitely making me feel like I'm closer to being back on the road to ttc. I'm going to start up my prenatals again today, and am thinking of taking extra folic acid. Are there any other vitamins you ladies recommend to get your body ready to ttc?

Also, Epump based on your experience with the HSG I have decided to go ahead and request one from my doctor, so we'll see how that goes...

Thanks!! Congrats on your <5! I know how exciting that is... And as for the folic acid... take a lot... like 5000mcg! I just take my prenatal and folic acid, so you should be good with just that as well. Prenatals are so complete. Might want to ask your doc about that tho!

That's great - I know exactly what you mean about feeling happier without weekly bloodwork! I am taking 2 x 400ug folic acid + a multivitamin with added folic acid. However, I am going to get bloods checked at GP next week to check that folate levels are good to go for TTC the following week. I eat loads of spinach, greens, sprouts etc so fingers crossed.

I had my follow up appt last week with the consultant and he has told me that they used to routinely do HSG on women who had ectopic pregnancies They found that the majority of women, who had no obvious risk factor for ectopics, were fine and there was no blockage. The women they discovered had blocked tubes usually had problems with their cycles ie infrequent periods, severe pain from endometriosis etc that could have been picked up before falling pregnant. It may be a NHS thing- but they have now cut back on using HSG reactively and are encouraging women who are TTC with associated cycle problems to get it done BEFORE an ectopic happens.

So, my boss called me into a meeting with a few other people and it was pretty important. Telling me we need all this complicated stuff done by this afternoon.. Well, right in the middle of it I got SO nauseous!!!!!! I couldn't even concentrate on what he was telling me I was so excited! haha. So it looks like my symptoms are just coming and going like everyone keeps telling me! Relief...aaahhh...it feels good. I love nausea! haha.

Annie, thanks for the info! That's interesting about the HSG. Now I'm back on the fence. On the one hand, I don't want to get an unnecessary medical procedure done, but on the other hand it might give me a piece of mind. Although I have a fairly regular cycle, I do get painful menstrual cramps, which I'm afraid may be due to endo. My doctor, like yours, did not think the HSG was necessary and encouraged me to try again. Decisions decisions!!

Good luck on your blood draw next week, I hope your folate levels are through the roof!! How exciting that you are going to be back to ttc so soon!

Great news! Haha, so crazy that nausea is something to get excited about! Enjoy it

 

[belleedancr]

I would like for my nausea to kick in on Thursday morning so that I don't overeat on Thanksgiving, as I usually do. Then it can go away. Is that too much to ask??

 

[Michelle78]

Belleedancr, congrats on the BFP!!

Coxy and Tray, so glad that your scans went well! Time is starting to move a little faster now isn't it? Our babies will be here before we know it!

Presh, good luck tomorrow. Keep us updated, I'm sure everything is going to come back great.

Jenn, a perfect little girl!! I'm so excited for you!!

AFM, I had my NT scan today and it was amazing. All measurements are normal and my babies were kicking their legs and waving their arms. One of them looked like he/she was sucking a thumb at one point, so precious. I am having another scan in 3 weeks and they are going to see if they can tell the sex of the babies, I will be just about 16 weeks then. I am so excited to find out what they are!

hey Michelle glad your scan went well. I have my NT scan in 3 hours eeeeeeeeeek. Really excited to see my bubba again but nervous at the results. I have a close friend who had a baby girl 6 months ago and she was born with downs, its kinda scary. Fingers crossed all will be well.

Its really exciting about your gender scan in a few week. Me and OH have actually booked a private gender scan for 19th december as we'll be 16 weeks by then, plus on christmas eve we are flying down to spend christmas with my sister & her husband as she cant come to us as she will be 7 & 1/2 months pregnant by then. My mum & step dad are going to hers too for christmas. So on christmas morning we are gonna sneak a wee present under the tree for them all with either its a girl or its a boy inside

YAY for the sickness coming back... but, you will kick yourself in the butt in about 3 weeks when ya still have it. I wished and wished for it and it didn't really stop till last week. I get it off and on still during the day. LOLOLOL

[PreshFest]

If I'm still sick in three weeks I will be thanking my lucky stars!! Because that would mean I'm still pregnant and it's IN MY UTERUS!!!

When I was pregnant with my dd, nausea started at 4 weeks and from weeks 5-8 it was SOLID. I had lots of mental breakdowns during that time lol. But even then I welcomed it. So after a loss, I think I will welcome it even more!! BRING IT! haha.

Blood test today... I'm so scared. Tomorrow is thanksgiving and I'm just so worried about ruining it for everyone. Oh well... I'll let you all know the second I get the results.

 

[Dee1989]

Congrats all on new BFPS!!

Well I'm out again. AF came right on schedule. Can't get away with this temping but gonna have another try this cycle as my chart predicted a very late OV on this one... If I OV late on next cycle, what does that mean??

 

[JPARR01]

I am not sure about late ovulation... but, I know I was concerned with my ovulation and short luteal phase. So I started B6 the cycle I got my BFP. I took 50 mg a day. I actually ovulated earlier that cycle and I believe it was because of the B6. xoxo

 

[Dee1989]

This is going to sound really stupid of me but what is B6? Wonder if I can get it here in Turkey...

Sounds like something I could look into as it seems my temps are just crazy and i'm worried thats why it took so long in the first place to conceive if I was having late ovualtion.

[JPARR01]

B6 is a type of vitamin basically. I am almost positive they sell it there. Just head on over to your pharmacy. Just don't take over 100 mg a day. xoxo Any other questions just ask. xoxo

 

[PreshFest]

Just got my results back!!!! 356!! I needed 276, so that is AWESOME NEWS! They are now higher than they ever were with my ectopic. Not that that means anything, but still

 

[belleedancr]

Congrats, Presh, that's GREAT news! What were your previous numbers and was it from 48 hours prior?

I'm currently awaiting the call from my dr's office to confirm the bloodwork that I did this morning. Praying!!

 

[PreshFest]

I've had three tests done. Last wednesday is was 12, 48 hours later it was 46. It's been 5 days since that one, so 356 is really good!
