TTC after Methotrexate shot

[pixxie1232001]

later on today, i will let you all know soon

Pixxie, i agree with press. There is no way you would need to terminate it. My doc told me they only have evidence of birth defects if conceived within the first couple of weeks but to wait the 3 months to be sure. Let us know when you have tested and good luck! X

Pixxie, I agree with what has been stated so far! My OB told me I could start ttc again after my first AF. I actually considered it, but will be out of the country for three weeks and was just afraid to not be able to get appropriate medical attention if I needed it. So if you are pregnant then you should be fine! I definitely would like to agree with Presh in particular that you should start taking folic acid ASAP. Even if you are not pregnant, it is a good idea to start taking it so that you can feel assured that your folate levels are where they should be. Methotrexate striped our bodies of folate, but it is easy to replenish in your body.

Good luck and keep us posted!!

Pixxie - I also agree with what was stated - you have had enough time from the shot. Just start taking folic now!

I just got my third round of numbers back. My beta went up a lot, but my progesterone went down a little. The doctor said since it is over 10 everything is fine, but I can't help but worry. Anyway here are my numbers.

12/6 14dpo
Beta 223
Progesterone 13.8

12/8 16dpo
Beta 469
Progesterone 17.4

12/12 20dpo
Beta 3281
Progesterone 13.9

I'm going to try to just stay calm. I know epump said that her doctor told her progesterone levels can go up and down. So I'll be calm and positive. My ultrasound is scheduled for 12/22, so I'll just wait to freak out then.

Well took a pregnancy test and it came back as a BFN so gonna watch for the AF. I am not ready to try for another baby still, I was just a couple days late changing my patch and my period was late so I got worried. Maybe its just stress from finals that are keeping it late. I am just not ready to move on still...Just need more time.

Glad it was negative... It's definitely best to wait until you're ready, I think.

I am around 9dpo and whilst I was keen not to symptom spot it has become quite hard to ignore the whole travel sick feeling, intermittent cramps and back pain.

However - today, about 4 hours ago i started to get some discomfort in my right side of abdomen. It was a bit like a pulled muscle and I am absolutely beside myself with worry that it (if there is an it!) is implanting in my right tube, where my ectopic was in aug/sept.

Has anyone else had these pains in ectopic side but went on to have a BFP with a baby implanting in the right place? I get ovulation pain on that side, even when I ovulate from left ovary so I am hoping it is just implanation in my womb causing irritation and pain. I never get IB so that can't even reassure me.

I was getting cramping right before I got my BFP and even after and was reassured at my first scan that everything was fine.

 

[libbyloulou]

Press - all the best for your scan today let us know how it goes!

I'm 7dpo and also trying not to look for symptoms, however, normally my boobs have started to hurt by this time whether I've been pregnant or not and they don't feel any different at all. Do you think this means I'm out for the month?

 

[BERDC99]

Stalking to see if Phresh had her u/s yet?

I replied to this yesterday, but apparently it didn't post! Anyway, I've had ectopic pain on my ectopic side everyday since I ended up in the ER. I've been told that it's very normal and is most likely scar tissue or even just further healing. For me, if I have gas (lol) it irritates that tube and it hurts really bad. But even now at 8wks pregnant it still hurts every single day... I really hope it goes away someday soon...

But at 9-10 dpo, I really do think it would be too early to feel any ectopic pain, but I'm not too sure. When are you testing?

good luck presh x

Ugh. Not sure what to think right now. Measured at 6w2d and saw the heartbeat but the machine wasn't good enough to get a reading. The doc said it looked like it was at 90 which is really low . But it did grow appropriately in the last two weeks. I might call and talk to my midwife to see if they can send me to an ultrasound clinic where they have better equipment...

For 6w and 2d I believe that 90 is a good rate. Don't stress over it. You have growth and a heartbeat. Let us know what the midwife says. Will keep you in my thoughts and prayers.

Hi presh
That is EXACTLY the same reading I got when I thought I was approx 8 weeks....spin out! I think our eggies are in unison...don't stress I was told all was good and that just oved late and with implantation taking 7-10 days, the dates all add up! Keep positive hunny x

 

[PreshFest]

I'm pretty sure I oved 11/6. We haven't bd'd since 11/7... So what would you make of that?

Not sure, I kind of have a similar situation where hubby left for 4 weeks work and they have clocked me in as conceiving four days AFTER he left? Only time will tell hey, we just need to keep thinking happy thoughts and try not to stress out....

Yeah, that is confusing Presh. At least the growth has been normal for the past couple of weeks - that seems like a good sign. If I were you, I'd do what you're thinking and get an ultrasound done at a place with better machines... that's what they did when they were trying to diagnose my ectopic. I'll be keeping you in my thoughts!

Just went to meet my midwife For the first time yesterday and raised my concerns at being 12 days out on my last scan (thought i was 8 but only 6w2d) and she said it was completely fine.she said there and many contributing factors to make you less advanced in the pregnancy than what your dates calculate and that they were not concerned at all.
Hope that puts your mind at rest a bit presh.
