TTC after Methotrexate shot

[Dee1989]

Hi all not been on for a while again so got some catching up to do and also really need ur help....

Last year May 16th AF was due and it came but very different, i tested and was positive, until i found out it was ectopic and had the shot in June.... On Monday this week AF was due again for me and it also came but again very different and thought nothing of it as have been ttc for a while. My AF'S have only been 4-5 days long since the ectopic and I am now on day 7 of bleeding oddly with on and off sore breasts, another thing since the ectopic i have had from ovulation to AF coming but this time breasts didn't hurt until Monday..... long story short i have just tested and was so shocked to get a very clear positive, i am so scared and shocked i couldn't help but panic and think the worst Will visit the hospital 2morrow but for now my head is a mess.

Hope everyone is doing okay

Hi Dee. I dont really have a lot of advice on this but really hope it works out well for you! The day I got my bfp for this pregnancy I started to get dark brown discharge and then for a couple of days like the start of my period. I realise this is very different to bleeding but I too thought the worse. It all turned out fine and I really hope it does for you too. Let us know how you get on at the hospital xxxx

Hi Dee, congrats on your bfp Like libby I don't really have any advice, I can just hope and pray for you that everything goes ok. I'll look out for your updates hunni xxx

Hello Dee, do you have any pain? Ppl always say bleeding is common in pregnancy, but I know that doesn't offer much comfort to someone who has had a previous loss. I did not bleed at all with my ectopic until a week after the mtx shot. I wish I had advice to give, but sometimes the same symptoms mean different things. I hope and pray that you hear some good news tomorrow, but just TRY to stay calm and I know that is asking a LOT. Keep us updated.

Thank you Renzal

Thank you everyone for your kind words, this morning I went to the hospital and they took my bloods, I went back in the afternoon and my beta was 121.2 I also had a vaginal ultrasound which showed nothing so for now I just have to wait, it may be ectopic again, miscarriage or just too early to tell

Sorry you didn't get a definitive answer today Dee I hope you get some good news soon xxx

SO sorry Dee!! It's horrible to go through this even once, but more than once is just brutal. Hopefully all will end up ok... Take care of yourself!

Hello Everyone,

I experienced an ectopic pregnancy in February and was given a methotrexate shot. My HD and I have passed the required 3 cycle/3 month limit and have recently begin TTC. Since this thread is rather extensive is there anyone with information regarding an average of how long it took to conceive after the shot? Thanks.

Dee, thinking of you and hoping that it is just too early to see anything! I'm sorry you are in such a stressful spot

Everyone is different. For us our first month ttc was unsuccessful however i got pregnant on our 2nd month ttc but unfortunately that pregnancy ended in a MC. We were told to wait one more cycle after the MC but i couldnt so we started trying again as soon as i stopped bleeding as BAM PREGNANT and im due to give birth in 11 days eeeeeek

Dee1989 sweetie im so sorry that you dont have an answer yet but stay strong chica we are here for you xx

Hello Ladies,

I am new to this forum and thought I should tell you my story in brief.

I am 30 years old.
Have been TTC since June 2010
Had a laparoscopy in 2011 – all ok
Had a BFP in August 2011
Miscarried in September 2011
Had another BFP in December 2011
Miscarried in January 2012 – due to Ectopic Pregnancy. Took one shot of Methotrexate but no success.
I am now a one tuber.

My progesterone is usually around 35 but my gynae thinks it is low. She said that it must go up to 60 in order to have a healthy viable pregnancy. This last cycle, I didnt take any progesterone suppliments not even PREGNYL injections. The reason why I didnt take is that I didnt see that egg white mucous and didnt want to take PREGNYL for nothing. I just thought that i didnt ovulate. I am now on cycle day 26 and I tested. Got a faint positive and i am in shock. I am on cyclogest passeries now (progesterone supplements) but i dont think these are enough to strengthen progesterone. I am afraid that i miscarry again.

Please help and let me know what can i do more to help this pregnancy (start of..) my doctor’s advice is – wait, as there is nothing you can do.

Would greatly appreciate any help.

Thanks
xxxxx

TrAyBaby,

Thank you for your encouraging words. I figured that everyone is different, but it is difficult to find success stories. I've found a lot of "Woe! I've tried and never succeeded." So thank you for your kind words of encouragement.

Hi angelofheaven and welcome, i'm so sorry for your losses hunni

Congratulations on your bfp, I hope for you that this pregnancy is in the right place and that it is a sticky one. I'm sorry, but I don't know about progesterone levels so can't be of any help in that area, I'm sure though that someone more knowledgeable than myself will be along shortly xxx

Hi ladies. Gosh I havent been in here in awhile. I finally got down to 0 as of Friday....took 7 weeks but finally got there. Im a little worried because I had my second methotrexate shot a month and a few days ago....and I just found out that I ovulated over the weekend. I didnt even know that it was possible to O so soon!! Im worried because my DH and I have been "not preventing" here lately...because I didnt think i could O so soon so now Im worried that I might get pregnant before the 3 month mark.

Hi there,

My partner and have been trying to have children for a few years now. She is 39 (40 this August).

So far we have had four miscarriages (April, September and November 2010, and April 2011), the first and past needed D&Cs, the other two were spontaneous.

Catherine now has an ectopic pregnancy and has just had her second dose of methotrexate. Initial HCG was c. 16,000 (based on a blood-test two days before of 8,600) but the mass (just sac, no visible embryo) was 10mm. Yesterday we had another scan and blood test, which was 13,000, no change to sac size (in one of her Fallopian tubes), so we had a second dose.

She started bleeding properly four days ago and still is. Has had occasional cramping.

We know HCG was high but are trying to avoid surgery and Dr willing to give it a go as size of sac so small.

Emotionally things are pretty damn tough for C. (my lady). She is more and more worried she will never have a child, and the waiting period after the ectopic is resolved is already bearing down on her.

Any advice or experience out there?

 

[Renzalxx]

So sorry Gyles to hear about the tough time you and Catherine are going through...we sadly welcome you to our thread and send you all the hugs and support we can!

As a 36 year old my hubby and I can kind of relate after our losses...time is of the essence. We too do not have any children and am beginning to feel the pressure but there is so many people having children later these days - it's just the older you are, the more hurdles you face but it will hopefully happen for you both soon x

The fact Catherine is now bleeding is a good sign that things are starting to take their course after her shots and I hope and pray that she will be able to preserve her tube. Make sure she takes it as easy as possible, stay away from anything with folate in it until her levels reach zero...this may take a few weeks so there will be lots of trips to the pathologist. One her HCG reaches zero she will need to build up her folate as much as possible for about three months..best to get a really good obstetrician to keep an eye on things when you are readyto TTC again...
Wishing you both all the luck in the world! You have come to the right place, the support and the amazing women here are wonderful xxx
