TTC after Methotrexate shot

[Gwenylovey]

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

Presh, that is great news!! Little Waldo has been found and he (she?) made it to your uterus! I can understand your stress about the 4 week estimate, but if the doctor or ultrasound tech didn't seem concerned then that would be pretty reassuring for me.

The doc did the ultrasound and it was very quick. I really wish an ultrasound tech would have done it so they would have taken their time and got some good measurements... Oh well. I'm just going to have to wait it out and hope for the best. I'm going to do my best to try not to worry.

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.

PRESH, that is FANTASTIC!!! CONGRATULATIONS
Dont worry about the dates at all sweets, they said mine were off by a week as well and personally, I think that they would not have gotten such a clear picture of your bean and yolkie if you were only 4 weeks... and as you said the doc rushed your scan so she is probably off herself heh heh. My scan at 5w5d (thought I was 6w4d) looks pretty much like yours... . Mind you I have a tilted uterus so yours is much clearer and this is a photo of a photo...

When do you go for your next scan?...

Presh, that is great news that your bean has made it to the right place! I wouldn't worry about the fact that your doc said you are measuring 4 weeks. I have never heard of them being able to see a gestational sac, yolk and a glimpse of a fetal pole at only 4 weeks. He is probably a little off on his calculations! When do you go back?

 

[PreshFest]

I go for my next scan 12/15!

I just wanted to introduce myself. I got pregnant in June and was diagnosed with ectopic in July and treated with methotrexate. My numbers were really low to begin with - never got much above 100 - but it took a month to get my numbers back down to zero. My husband and I decided to wait four cycles in order to get my folic acid back up and to try to get into a good ttc mindset. I'm on our second cycle back at ttc and I just got a bfp today at 11dpo.

I am feeling so excited and anxious! I don't have a lot of symptoms - mostly just a little bit of tugging feeling on my right lower abdomen. This is of course making me very scared. With my ectopic, I didn't get a bfp until 16dpo, so I'm trying to tell myself that a bfp at 11dpo is positive. I'll have to wait until Monday to call my doctor and make an appointment for blood work. I'm going to try to be positive and excited instead of scared all weekend.

I should have registered and commented a long time ago since reading all of your stories really helped me over the past few months. It was so uplifting to read so many positive stories!

Aegold, congratulations! that's awesome news! I hope the blood work goes well! Thanks for the positive vibes to the board!

Congrats Aegold!! Such great news - I love hearing about all the BFPs!

As for me, first AF since ectopic showed up on Saturday, and I've never been so happy to see it come. It has been a little bit different than usual. I usually get very bad cramps, and this time around they were very mild! Also no sore bbs which I"m used to getting a couple of days prior to AF. Kind of strange, but I guess my body has been through a lot and is responding a little bit differently. The good news is that I am one AF closer to ttc again!

 

[aegold]

Thanks for the congrats!

I am going to the doctor this afternoon and should know my first beta number tomorrow afternoon. I am so nervous, but am remaining positive. Hopefully I will go back on Thursday for my second blood draw and should know my two numbers by the end of the week.

Gwenylovey - I know how great it feels with that first AF comes. The months that I waited between the methotrexate and TTC actually seemed to fly by.

Warm vibes to all. xoxo

Hi ladies! Hope youre all ok!

Congrats on the scans girls and welcome to the ladies who have just joined us! You've come to the best place - I just wish id found this group a little sooner as i felt so alone when i went through my ectopic, and didnt find this site or group until i was nearly ready to start trying again. I wish id of known then what i know now - like how successful most ladies are after having an ectopic!

Congrats e-pump on the news of a boy! Jpaar have i missed a post from you? did you have your 20wk scan yet?

AFM - well - you know me and my ongoing pains in my side - I actually ended up in A&E last wkend for the night, as i had terrible consistent pain in my ectopic side that got so uncomfortable i was sooo worried. When i wee'd the pain intensified- still on the side- not from the uretha. I couldnt stop my imagination from running away with ectopic thoughts. the doctors didnt know what was wrong and tried to suggest it was ligament pain!! That just made me cross as this is my 4th (7th) pregnancy and i know what ligament pain feels like. In the end they said it could have been a kidney stone and they were unsure of whether there was a water infection...but have prescribed me antibiotics anyway.

Since ive been told that kidney stones with a water infection can be quite troublesome and cause problems with miscarriage or early labour?

Anyone know anything about this? x

I hope you are feeling better and take a easy. I don't know anything about that... never heard of anything like that.

I did have my 20 week appointment back on November 21 and we are having a GIRL!!!!! We are very excited. Thank you for asking!

 

[aegold]

So I just got the call from my doctor's office. My first beta at 14dpo was 223 and progesterone was 13.8. I know these numbers mean nothing until my second blood draw numbers, but the beta number seems high and the progesterone number seems a little low. But I am happy - with my ectopic my beta was 56 at 16dpo, so it seems promising that the number is higher! Hopefully I will have good number to report on Friday.

 

[JPARR01]

That progesterone number is perfect. Mine started at 9.2 and on my 4th and last beta was 12.9. My doc said anything below 8 is a problem. Great numbers!!! Also my first hcg beta at 10 dpo was 14.

 

[aegold]

Jparr - thanks! Your reply definitely made me feel better. I was driving my husband crazy and it was nice to come to bnb and feel reassured. Next blood draw is today, so I should know how things are going by tomorrow afternoon. I'm staying positive!

 

[Renzalxx]

Yay, saw my lil beans heartbeat today...such a relief!!!!!!
