TTC after Methotrexate shot

[Jenanners]

YES YES YES!!!

bloods come back negative, now just a waiting game for AF

is it 3 mouths from now i wait TTC agen or from wen i had the injection??????

YAY for being negative!!
My doctor told me 12 weeks from the day of the shot, 2 cycles.

My levels hit negativer somewhere between April 5-17 (was out of town and couldnt get blood as scheduled) and was told to start folic acid supplement then.
Still waiting for my first official AF, had shot on 3/22.

Good Luck!!

Just a quick update from me, started to have some pain yesterday around hip area exactly the same as what i had with ectopic but not as bad, been to work today and on the opposite side had the same pain, got a little worse on my break then went away when i had a lie down. Called OH from work and took a test and it was lighter then the other 2, right then i started to bleed so have just got back from hospital and seems to be miscarriage, have tablets for pain relief but now bleed has slowed right down again and no pain . Will be back at hospital in the morning for bloods etc so heres hoping not ectopic but will see.......

Such a pain living abroad with hardly no english DRs and no insurance, planning on returning to UK for HSG.

Hope everyone is doing okay x

Oh, Dee... I'm so sorry! It has to be so rough being in a foreign country during all of this, too

Dee, i'm so sorry hunni. Fx it's not ectopic again, will be thinking of you xxx

Tracey, that's great news - it is 3 months from the shot, but make sure to get a good amount of folic acid in you as well before you ttc again. You can start taking that today

Hello everyone,

I have been reading the posts on here for a few months and have now decided to join! Just wanted to let everyone know a little bit about my story. I am a mom of 2 boys(11&7). And last year decided to try for my third and final. I was pregnant early September 2011 only to find out at the end of October that my twins had miscarried. I had a D&C, then found out a week before Christmas that they didn't get everything out with the first d&c so I had to have a second one 2 months after the October D&C! I waited till End of January and tried again and fell pregnant first shot mid February. A week later I started bleeding and just assumed it was another misscarriage, until 2 weeks later when I started bleeding heavy and found out it was ectopic. They never could locate the pregancy via u/s so they just assumed it was ectopic and gave me the Methotrexate shot on March 3rd 2012. My numbers went back to 0 weeks later and I have since had 2 normal Af's and am thinking about ttc next month. So scared of it happening again, I still get pain in my left side, where the ectopic must have been. My doctor told me I should wait 6 months before ttc because of the shot, but I think thats a little long. I have been on prenatals since my levels went below 5. This forum has given me hope and it is really comforting to read everyones journeys!

hello girls,

today i have noticed alot of brown discharge mostly when i wipe and sometimes with like dark specks [its hard to explain], and its not really enough to wear a liner cud this still be the end on the Eptopic pregnancy happing?
27 day ago i had the methotrexate

 

[baby_maybe]

It could just be the old blood coming through still. Or maybe the start of a bit more bleeding. I know my bleeding was on and off for weeks, before I finally had a proper bleed and then it stopped altogether. Now I'm waiting for af and it's been almost 3 weeks since I got to 0 and the bleeding stopped.

I had my shot on 3/22. i bled for 1 1/2 weeks and then spotted on throughout the whole time. i stopped bleeding and then spotted almost daily through 4/26. After that I spotted on 5/1 5/2 5/7 5/8. My doctor said it was ll normal, and to just wait it out.

Have you called your doctor? It sounds normal to me, i was convinced i was going to have to wear a pad for the rest of my life!

 

[traceyAndLee]

I go tmy AF 26 days after the shot! So I'm guessing this is AF for you. Not unusual for it to be different than it normally is after something like this.

Hey Presh cant believe you are nearly 7 weeks already when is your first scan?

I had my scan at 6w2d and baby was measuring exactly that! So things are going well so far! I'll have another scan around 11 weeks. Eeek!

How is everyone doing?

Was back at hospital yesterday and beta has dropped to 85 so I was pleased to find out it deffinately does not look like another ectopic and DR done another ultrasound and showed my ovaries are clear. He said he thought bleeding would stop today however it's very heavy, have missed nearly 3 days of work so will have to go back in the morning, will be a long day :-/...

Now the question is when to start ttc again, DR said 1-2 months which is fine the only thing that scares me is it has taken 9 months each time to conceive.
Anyone have some good hints and tips, I think this month worked by lying down for a while afterwards.

Hey got a question i am having lots of pinching pains in left side really low towards pelvic area is this normal and what does it mean. im on cd 16 not sure if i have o yet . dont really track o.

I got my first AF 28 days after I hit 0. Just as a warning, your periods might be a little weird at first. My first two definitely were!

Afm, I am about to start my third AF! I have started to spot today, so here's to hoping this one is a little more normal...according to my doctor, we can start trying, but we are going to wait for one more period. I don't know if I will be able to resist. The DH has agreed to ntnp method this time. If it is meant to be, it will happen.

Have a great weekend ladies!

Hi girls, just trying to catch up with everyone as been away for the weekend!

chig - good luck hunni, hopefully your af is normal this month

Dee - I'm sorry about your miscarriage hunni, but at the same time I'm so pleased for you that is wasn't another ectopic Personally I'd try the opk's to detect ov and 'legs up' after to see if you can encourage the swimmers in the right direction and see if that helps. As for the 1-2 months wait, i'd say whenever you feel ready and you feel your body is healed. Good luck hun.

resque - I don't track ov either, but pinching on one or the other could be a good sign that ov is happening. I do still get the odd twinge on the ectopic side, but whether it's psychological with me or not I don't know!!

AFM - looks like af is making her appearance at last - it's been 3 weeks since I got to 0. Here's hoping for a normal-ish af
