TTC after Methotrexate shot

Forums New posts
Hey Chig
Yaaaay again for reaching zero!
It is really hard to determine when is the right time for you to start TTC. I was told to wait three periods which i did and fell pregnant straight after (by accident mind you) and it didnt end so well.:nope:
I really quite wish it hadnt happened for a few more months then perhaps I would be doing the happy baby jig right now instead of being in the TTC category (again booooo!)
I think if i waited maybe one more cycle things may have turned out a bit better but it is totally up to you. I think Presh also read somewhere that it takes approx 100 days after your levels return to normal from MTX for your eggies to return to their healthy state.
Totally up to you hunny, I would check with your doctor and see what their thoughts are....Good Luck and babydust to everyone xxx
 
I think your calculations would be right chig, but as other ladies have said, they waited the extra month to be sure that the mtx has completely left the building as it were!

DH and I haven't decided when or even if we will ttc again. If we do it most likely won't be until the beginning of next year now. Due to the job my DH has and other commitments during the year the timing wouldn't be great if I was pg before then really.
 
Did everyone have bleeding after the shot? and does lack of blood mean that the shot isnt working? I just want my body to be back to normal asap!!
 
I have had some bleeding, but I think it had more to do with the procedure of taking tissue from my uterus for analysis, than it did to having the shot. My numbers are still in the thousands so I'm no convinced I'd be bleeding otherwise.
 
I started bleeding before I got the shot, but my numbets were really low. You'll probably start to bleed once your numbers start dropping...
 
Renzal and Dee, sorry that the witch got you! Hope that this is your month :)

Just wanted to check in and say hi to all. Great to see all of the falling HCG for you ladies recently haven taken the metho. Chig, I waited 2 cycles which was just short of 3 months before starting to ttc again. That cycle ended in a chemical pregnancy. It's confusing because so many people say different things... Patiently, I was already spotting before the shot, but then started bleeding more heavily about three days after the shot. I do know from having read others' experiences though that this is not always the case. Some people did not bleed heavily until later and also did not bleed for as long as I did. Good luck to you!
 
I bleed before the shot also. I was mcing and my doctor got worried about a possible tubal pregnancy because my numbers went up, but it was only at 19. I had a little spotting after the first shot, but then had to get a 2nd, but no bleeding or spotting after than one.

As for ttc again, I had planned to start 3 months after the 2nd shot, which would have been May 2nd, but changed my mind to wait until AF showed then decide. Well AF showed last week and I figured wait 3 months from that, which would be May 17th, but after reading some info, I changed my mind again. I am now waiting(or at least going to try) so I can have 12wks of folic acid and that would put me starting to ttc around June 9th.

Hi, i had barely any bleeding from start to finish....
My first bleed was at 6 weeks, (triggered by intercourse) but stopped few days later - that was when we first discovered something was wrong. Then i didnt get the shot until I was 9 weeks (3 weeks later from first bleed) Because the monitoring took so long and they couldnt locate the pregnancy...but had no bleeding or pain during that time.

Then i had a small bleed the night before the shot - which i think was triggered by a biopsy of the womb.

Then no more bleeding until my first period (after numbers returned to 0) But when I had that bleed, i took a bath and sorry for too much info - but, i passed out LOADS of dry, crumbled black blood like black pudding...and it literally filled the bath water....it was awful. it made me feel sick but i guess it was like the remains of what my body hadnt absorbed.

I must admit i felt relieved that i felt like id finlly removed it though as like you i kept worrying that it must have caused a blockage somewhere as hadnt worked it s way out.

good luck with your recovery. x
 
I've only been down to zero since last week. Took me almost 2 weeks and at my height I was only at 960. I have decided to take a prenatal, a folate supplement, iron, and primrose for the next month and then will start trying after my next period. I don't want to take any chances.
 
Hi all.....just to let you guys know that the scan was fine yesterday and showed 2 healthy heart beats, yes 2, bit of a surprise! I go back in 2 weeks for another scan when I will be 8 weeks. Thanks for all the support.

Jparr and epump, how are you doing? X

Scratch that! Got a pos opk today, so I've yet to OV. I've never used these, so I'm not sure what that means exactly lol

Presh, I'm pretty sure that people ovulate on average one day after the positive OPK - somewhere between 12-36 hours. That means it's time to BD!!!
