TTC after Methotrexate shot

[coxy1978]

WOOOOOOHOOOOOOO! Scan went great thanks chickies. Was soooooooooooooooooooo nervous but seems little bean perfectly in the middle of my uterus with a little yolkie and all... hubby and I practically skipped all the way back to the car!!! I have a pic but not sure how to upload on my post???

According to my calcs I was 6w1d but was told I was 5w5d which actually makes more sense as my BFP didnt come until i was 3-4 days passed my AF due date so definately ovulated late but all good. Go back in 10 days to see more... thanks for all the words of encouragement ladies, you certainly make things easier... MWAH XXXX

Presh, all the VERY best for Thursday hun... Seems like you and I are practically due the same time? WOOHOO!

Great news!! So happy for you. I'm definitely ready for my scan... I was feeling really good about things until last night. I had a VERY painful twinge on my ectopic side. It woke me up and had me in the fetal position in about 1/2 a second. It hurt SO bad. But...it was very quick and just that one time. No cramping or bleeding since then, so I'm not really sure what to think. But it freaked me out!!

Presh, hope youre feeling ok!! Any sickness creeping in yet?
I also have those sharp stabbing pains in my ectopic side - last night - i lost count of how many i actually had - every time i turned over - it would shoot my knee up to my chest! Im 14 weeks now.... and everything is still fine. It is scary, i know, and evry time it happens - it sets my mind wondering, but when im being logical, i just know it is only due to the damage that the last ectopic must have done. good luck with scan!!! xx

I've had some nausea since day 1! But it really does come and go and isn't bad at all. I'm sure it will be soon, though, assuming everything is in the right place. I've had very little pain since the other night, so I'm going to just assume it was gas and maybe the position I was in! Scan is tomorrow, so I'm just ready to get it over with. I hope today goes by fast!!!

Presh, all the best for tomorrow!

Gweny, doesn't it feel good to get to that zero stage? The waiting is horrible before ttc again but I hope for you it goes quickly and January whizzes round! Started taking B complex too today as hoping it will sort out the spotting I get, but not sure.

 

[Renzalxx]

Gweny - yes starting ttc this month . Little bit anxious! Have you started this month too? My cycles have been weird since I came off the pill over a year ago. I have been spotting before my af since then and this month I spotted for 8 days before! Not really sure what is going on but have an appointment with the consultant on the 22nd so might ask him then. In the meantime I'll try and stay positive!

Hope everyone is doing ok!

How exciting that you are back in the game!! Best of luck to you

I'm still anxiously waiting... I haven't had my first AF since the ectopic although I've been temping (for the first time) and it looks like I ovulated a few days after my levels reached 0, which was about a week ago. So we shall see... My doctor said I could begin trying after just 1 cycle, but after what I've read on here I think I"m going to wait 2 cycles/3months. That would mean I'm going to start ttc again around January at some point. I'm taking a trip to South America for three weeks from the end of December until mid January, so I'm hoping that it will take my mind of things. Who knows, maybe we'll even conceive when we're down there!

Libbyloulou... all the very best with your TTC shenanigans, hopefully you will be next on the board to give good news.....xxx

YAY Gweny, so glad you have reached zero... such a relief isnt it, coz now you can boost yourself up with folate and as soon as your ready to go you will no doubt fall preggers straight away like the rest of us on here... bunch of fertile fillies we are... all the best and AF will be here in no time.... xxx

Hi ladies, just wondering if anyone can offer any advice, af is due on saturday, I tested bfn at 9dpo but have decided now to wait until af is late so at the moment im not sure if i have been successful this cycle but I have started with sone pain in my left shoulder. I know when I had my ectopic the doc told me to look out for pain in shoulder tips, but what classes as tips? And would it be too early for this pain if I do have another ectopic?

My shoulder pain is actually close into my neck, does anyone think I should see a doc or am I just over-reacting?

Thank you xxx

Renx, I hope I follow in your footsteps ( and those of the other BFP ladies on this board)!! Now for the next phase of the waiting game to come to an end...Come on AF!

I don't think you'd have neck/shoulder pain until the tube actually ruptures. I read that that pain is caused by blood filling up in your abdomen and irritating something...can't remember what exactly. So you should be safe!!

 

[PreshFest]

I just got back from my scan! Baby is IN-UTERO!!

But here's the kicker... I'll be 6wks tomorrow and they said the baby was measuring more like 4wks. What does that mean exactly??? They didn't seem worried, and at the time I wasn't either, but I am now. I know the measurements can be off, but by 2 wks?! Ugh.

 

[JPARR01]

Bells - I agree with what Presh said.... But, in the beginning of my pregnancy, I was having shoulder pain as well. To be honest, I think it might of all been in my head because of how worried I was...

Presh! That is wonderful news. Did they actually see the baby or was there just a sac? Did they see/hear a heartbeat? Also, maybe you have your ovulation dates messed up..... xoxoxo Do you have a pic to show and I could tell you compared with my photos.

They saw a yolk sac and at one point thought they saw a glimpse of a fetal pole, but couldn't say for sure. I did get a photo, but it's just a black circle... I'll try to post...

 

[JPARR01]

yea, post it and let me see. xoxo

 

[PreshFest]

Here's Waldo! lol
5w 6d, supposedly measuring 4wks.

 

[JPARR01]

looks like there is a fetal pole in there to me.... it does look like you are a bit earlier than 5 weeks and 6 days. Which is fine cause you could of ovulated at a different time than you have thought. Do you chart?

I don't chart... just kept track of BD. I had what I thought was OV pain on my ectopic side, but they said they thought I ovulated from the other side because they could see the corpus luteum. So if that's the case, then I'm not sure. So I do see how it could be a little behind 5+6, but not THAT far off! Who knows : ( They really shouldn't have even told me that. Now I'm just going to worry and what's the point in that?!?!

 

[JPARR01]

Nahh! Nothing to worry about! On average, how long are your cycles? and what day was CD1 for you and what days did you BD. I will help ya figure it out! xoxo

 

[PreshFest]

Ok, here goes!
CD1 - Oct. 21. AF came at 11pm.
CD9- BD 10.29
CD11- BD 10.31
CD13- BD 11.2
CD15- BD 11.4
CD16- BD 11.5
CD17- BD 11.6 (this is the day I THOUGHT I ovulated from my ectopic side)
CD18- BD 11.7

Didn't get a +HPT until 11.16 where HCG was 12
11.18 HCG 46
11.23 HCG 356

 

[JPARR01]

With my calculations... I would say CD 17 also... HMMM.... not a big deal at all. I really wouldn't stress over it. Did they take your HCG again after the 23rd?

 

[libbyloulou]

Presh that is great news! Congratulations! I agree with jparr I'm sure that the dates are just out rather than anything else going on!

No everything looked good enough for them, so they didn't think they needed another one. I would have gotten another one today had they not seen anything in my uterus.

 

[PreshFest]

I did just find this online... Hopefully this is correct info because this is exactly what we saw today and I'm supposed to be towards the end of the 5th week...

"The gestational sac is often the first thing that most transvaginal ultrasounds can detect at about 5 weeks. This is seen before a recognizable embryo can be seen. Within this week, at about week 5 ½ to the beginning of the 6th week, a yolk sac can be seen inside the gestational sac. The yolk sac will be the earliest source of nutrients for the developing fetus."
