TTC after Methotrexate shot

[Annie77]

Regarding staying off work I would like to add my experience. I work as a community therapist and this involves lots of driving, visiting people at home and carrying equipment. I couldn't have worked immediately following my ectopic as physically it was tough. I was bleeding lots and wouldn't have been able to access a toilet for hours at a time. Emotionally I couldn't deal with my management responsibilities or my complex patients problems. On that of all that I have two little girls that needed me so I had to save my energy for dealing with them etc. I stayed off for 3 weeks in total and don't regret it at all.

Hi Ladies,

Just wanted to share my new years good news, over xmas and the new year we have been more relaxed and ntnp, so I was really surprised when I tested today and got what looks like a bfp!! I so hope this is a sticky bean and in the right place this time!!

Good luck to anyone testing soon and a big thank you to all ladies with success stories after methotrexate, it's your stories that really help in the low times xxx

Edit: Sorry pics aren't very good, damn phone!!

[Bells n Bump]

Thank you ladies, I guess I'm just panicing as I only ever got faint bfp's with my ectopic but those were 5-9 weeks from my LMP and this time I'm only 4 weeks. I also keep reassuring myself as it was taken at 4pm on af due date and it's only an asda cheapy!! I am sending myself nuts, I hope I can get a docs app next week and talk them into doing bloods for me, thanx ladies you really do give me hope that this could be 3rd time lucky xxx

Congratulations Bells!! Keep us update with your dr appt. Can I also ask how long has it been since your shot? I can't wait to be in your shoes!!

Hi Kmp, It has actually been almost a year since my shot, I had it feb 24th 2011, due to being made redundant etc we havent been back trying too long, this is our 5th cycle. Although there are ladies on here that have been successful quickly after starting back ttc. I really hope this is it but in the back of my mind I know its still early so every twinge or cramp is making me panic like mad, I think Ill be better once my line is darker. Good luck ttc, it will happen and thank you for everyones support, you ladies are the best!!

Xxx

Hi all, so good to find others that are/ have been going through same as me.... I had a twin ectopic in September 2011 one on each side, apparently I'm a medical mystery! Not something you want to be told!! I've since had an appointment with the gynocologist who didn't seem that concerned....he sent me for a HSG, I recieved the all clear today!!

This is out first month TTC again as we had to wait 3 cycles following the injection, I OV'd on Sunday so I'm 2 DPO today and I've been having twinge like pains on my right side, never had this after ovulation before and really anxious...they feel like ovulation pains but im 98% sure I ovulated 2 days ago, had 2 days peak on my CBFM, had OV pains and the CM to match.... Part of me thinking the pains could be a good thing as I've had 3 cycles since the ectopic and have never had these pains, and yet it's our first month TTC again and I have these pains.......

Any of you had anything similar?? Wishing you lots of

WOW! That is truly amazing...honestly... What are the odds of that happening? I am SO sorry for your losses, though. But I'm glad you are back at it again! DUST TO YOU!!!

I've had pains in my ectopic tube just about everyday since it all happened in July. Still get them now at almost 11 weeks pregnant! Ovulation is very painful for me now as well. I never felt it before the ectopic. What's funny, though...is that I swear I ovulated on my ectopic side the cycle I got pregnant. I felt it, it hurt SO bad I could barely stand up. But when I had my first ultrasound, they saw the corpus luteum on my other side which means that's where I oved from. Crazy... we just never know what's going on in there!

Thank you for the reply

Congratulations on your little bean, it's so nice to hear good stories

What is strange is that my cycles went back to normal straight away after the ectopic and this is the 3rd cycle and prior to this cycle ive had no oains after OV but it's strange how this is the first month back TTC and I am feeling this aching pain in my right side.... Worried that if we caught and it maybe stuck, really apprehensive

My cycle was normal straigt away, too! Even more normal than it had been before. I feel very lucky... I know some bleed for weeks and then it can take a long time for their cycles to return.

Congrats Bells, I'm so excited for you!!

Buzz, I was also really impatient to start working out again after the shot. I think that I started running again before my levels got back down to zero. My doctor didn't have a problem with it.

Presh, how is everything going with you, when is your next u/s?

AFM, I am officially at the halfway point since the twins will be here during week 37 at the latest. At my last appt, the u/s tech told us she thinks we are having twin girls! I have an u/s with the high risk dr tomorrow, so they will confirm the gender for us.

I hope all the new ladies catch some of the dust that this thread puts out!!

Yay Michelle, all the best for tommorow... two little girls would be a dream xx
