TTC after Methotrexate shot

[GrkGrl]

Resque07- I don't have any words of advice except what Chig says. Try not to worry about it, and just keep yourself busy. I am hoping for a BFP for you and a nice comfortable uterus baby. I had my shot right around yours (March 18th) so I will definitely be watching for your updates, and praying for you.

hey everyone just wanted to stop by and see where everyone is at. i am on cd 28 and no af i have done frer this morning and its bfn but before ectopic i would have 32 cd so im going to wait until saturday that will be cd 32 for me. i had a bad week last week with cramps and backaches headaches and two time i nearly faitned . i have been staying very hot like major hot flashes. i always get sore breast a week or 2 before af arrives and cramps the day before but this month is wierd and it worries me. my nipplesonly are so tender and hard they have been for a week but my boobs arent sore at all thay are however a little bigger and filled with bright blue veins. i always have a terrible breakout on my chin but my skin is so nice right now so i dunno what will happen this cycles but last night i started having soreness on the side of my ectopic just like the soreness i had when i had it and now im scarred. plus with my ectopic i didnt get a bfp until i was a week late for af. is all this normal ....i dunno

Hi Resque, try not to worry. I had pains on my left ectopic side from ovation til about 7 or 8 weeks with this pregnancy and its all been good so far. Try not to analyse every symptom as your body can be so unpredictable regardless of whether things are good or bad. I hope you get your bfp at the weekend! X

Hi Ladies! I have been so busy at work and at home lately that I forgot to take my prenatal vitamins yesterday. What should I do? Should I take them now and then again later tonight when I normally take them? Thanks!

 

[Kellen]

Hey all,

Thanks for all your support. It looks like AF is 3 days late. I will be testing tonight. I am hoping that this means we were able to conceive 4 months after the shots.

Sorry I haven't posted in awhile. Been really busy, so didnt get much time to sit down and catch up.

Hope you are all doing well!!

Kellen - GL to you!!

AFM - This cycle has been long, especially since I was ttc. I was scared to at first, but I had to go to the doctor a few weeks back for something and they did blood work and I was told the mtx was out of my system and that my folic acid was normal. So we went ahead with ttc. I am now 6 or 7dpo and anxiously waiting to test. I've got my fx'd that I will get a bfp, but if not, I cannot be too disappointed since it's my first cycle back ttc after mc/mtx.

Since I was asked I'll share a little bit of my success story.

February 14th I presented my wonderful husband with a positive test. We were both incredibly excited that after a year of TTC that we were finally going to be parents. I wanted to wait a couple of weeks before telling family and friends, but he immediately called every contact in his phone. We went out and got a bunch books, did research, changed our eating habits and swore to be 100% healthy.
On Saturday the 18th I started noticing mild spotting. Since I had read that this is somewhat common I tried to remain calm. I looked up every resource I could find, called my mom, talked to friends with kids. That evening I began to experience severe cramping and told my husband I thought I was having a miscarriage. He had a serious case of denial.
Sunday morning the bleeding had increased along with the cramps. We drove to the hospital and were admitted into the ER. After being submitted to a battery of tests the OB and on-call doctor thought they might have seen a dark mass in my right ovary. They couldn't confirm because I was only about 7 weeks along. It was decided that we would get two shots of Methotrexate just in case it was ectopic.
After waiting the required three periods my husband and I decided to hop back on the baby-making band wagon. I had been tracking my cycle and on May 21st and 22nd I ovulated. During this time I just knew... I knew that we had been successful. Four weeks later I took a POAS from Kroger and got a ! My husband is yet to be informed because he doesn't want to be disappointed again. So on Monday he is going to watch me take another POAS and be blown away.
I wish you all the best of luck TTC after Methotrexate. It took a month before my cycle was back to normal, but after that I have not experienced any negative side affects. The only thing I can say is that this pregnancy is a lot more intense that my first one. For the past two weeks I've been nauseous with incredibly tender breasts - which hasn't made my DH very happy.

Your story is very similar to mine Kellen. My bfp was the 18th Feb and metho shot was on 5th March. I didn't get my hcg to 0 until the 8th May though! I had something suspicious looking on my left ovary, but they never could confirm 100% that this was the ectopic site. I also had an empty sac in my uterus.

I'm hoping to be back on the baby-making wagon soon
