TTC after Methotrexate shot
- Thread starter JPARR01
- Start date
I wouldn't be too concerned about it. At this point, it's probably very normal to have a cycle that is odd. But I would keep an eye on things and if the bleeding lasts longer than a normal period, or you have any pain, definitely call your doctor. But I really don't think you should worry about it! It's hard, though... I know 
Yeah it is hard all my cramping is in the center of my uterus and down my legs and my lower back its just so unconfy....thanks for the pep talk though it is much needed also another thouht . do u think when we have awful heavy painful periods its because we did or didnt ovulate and visa versa. just wandering if it may mean something lol
From what I've learned, you get a period because you ovulate...not the other way around. So if you didn't ovulate, chances are you wouldn't get a period. Usually when your period is late, it's becasue you ovulated at a later time. Your luteal phase should always be the same. Mine is 13 days, so no matter if I ovulate early or late, af will come 13 days after. So I would guess you ovulated later than normal which gave your uterus more time to build up a thicker lining which is why your period is heavier. But... I'm no expert! That's just what I would assume if it were happening to me

Resque - I dont know what to tell you other than what Presh mentioned. Hope things get better for you soon.
AFM - The ol' witch showed her face this afternoon. So now I have officially passed the 3 cycle point after mc/mtx. I stressed myself out so much the last cycle, I think it affected my O and chances of getting pregnant, but this cycle I plan to take a more relaxed approach. I was temping, but now I am going to stop because it always adds more stress waiting to see if my temp stays high after O. So, fx'd this is the cycle for us to get a bfp and of course for all the others who are ttc too.

Hi Resque
I too have had wonky (anywhere between 27 - 32 day cycles when I used to be 28) horrible AF's since my ectopic and subsequent MC so think its just our bodies getting back to normal. Our poor uteruses have been through one hell of a trauma so it does take time. My last period was so painful i could feel it coming for a week and then spent the first day in bed with some strong painkillers and a hot water bottle..This is my 5th period since my MC and it seems to be back to normal, so hopefully yours will will sort themselves out soon.
As Presh says, if you are getting AF then you are ovulating so bring on the baby train...Yeeehaaaaar!

Hey ladies... Yesterday I was diagnosed with a subchorionic hemorrhage. As of now the baby is healthy and doing great, but is in some danger now because of this. I'm on restricted activity, so I can come to work and go home and that's about it. No exercise, housework or sex until I'm cleared at 19ish weeks!! This is so scary. I haven't had any bleeding yet, but they've assured me that I will. And I will be cramping all the while, too. Lucky me!

Sorry presh. It's good that they have seen it and can monitor you while you are able to take the precautions necessary to keep baby safe in there. I think there is a support thread on here somewhere for people in a similar situation.

No one knows what causes these to happen. There's nothing that can be done to prevent it or make it go away, unfortunately! I won't be in the clear unless it resolves on its own, so I have a long road ahead of me it seems. I guess they say that most of them will resolve by week 19 or 20 if they are going to resolve at all. If it doesn't resolve, then I will most likely end up with premature labor or spontaneous abortion.

First, I want to say to Presh, I'm sorry to hear about the subchorionic hemorrhage.
I've spent the last couple of weeks off and on reading the posts here. It's amazing the things you women have gone through together and have come out as survivors. You all are strong!
I'm glad I've found you wonderful ladies. My story isn't so different from several of yours.
I'm 35, DH is 38. We have 2 boys--12 and 7, and we were happy with them. Nearly five years ago, I tossed all birth control away because after years of dealing with awful side effects, I figured it wasn't worth the risks. I have a mild allergy to latex, so we don't use condoms either. So I figured, hey, I'm an intelligent woman--I can learn how to watch my body's signals and sort out my own fertility WITHOUT drugs! And so for nearly five years, I successfully avoided pregnancy just by tracking my cervical placement and watching my mucus.
That changed in April. My last period was April 7, and on Day 9 of my cycle, we were intimate and without being TMI I could tell upon his finishing that my cervix was opening. Oops! Day 10 has always been our last day to do the deed before my Fertile Myrtle days. I didn't think too much of the "feeling" that I had. I consoled myself with the thought that I'd never failed before and probably wouldn't now. I'd forgotten how fertile we had always been, though.
On Cycle Day 33, I knew things were wonky. It's not unusual for me to have a longer cycle sometimes, but 33 days was pushing the limit. Add to the fact that I was having some nausea, sore bb's, fatigue, and moodiness more than usual for AF's arrival had me concerned. So I bought a test, and it was faintly positive.
I was over the moon. But I was worried, because let's face it--we're closing in on 40. I told the boys, who were ecstatic, then told the hubby later, and we were all happy. But that day that I found out--May 9--I just felt funny. I had some pelvic pressure that felt unusual. It hurt when I sat down. It felt like I was sitting on something sharp. I also was having some achiness in my lower back. But I have some lower back issues anyway, so I discounted it at first. On Friday two days later, I was having confirmed lower back cramping along with the pain when sitting, and I also passed some light brown mucus. It looked like light brown snot, and it wasn't a large amount, but enough to make me worry when I'd never done that with previous pregnancies. I wrote it off, though, especially when I knew I couldn't see the OB till 8 weeks. On May 11 I was 4 weeks and 6 days pregnant. My due date would have been January 12, 2013.
Two days later was Mother's Day. My cramping in my back and the pain when sitting was continuing, but I'd had no more mucus since the one episode on Friday. When I saw that it was May 13, I had a feeling of doom. We went to church, but after Sunday School I went to the bathroom and when I wiped the tissue was red.
The bleeding accelerated from there, I went to the ER, my hcg was 36, and I was sent home to "watch". Fast forward to May 18--I had a D&C because two transvaginals found nothing anywhere and my hcg had gone up to 49. There was no fetal tissue found in the D&C so I was given a shot of metho in each hip and sent home early afternoon May 18.
June 8 I had to have another metho shot because my levels went up almost 2 points (looking back now I wish I'd waited to see if it would've gone down the next week). June 15 my level was 0.1, but they didn't tell me about it till yesterday (June 18). Yesterday I began taking my vitamins again (1600 mcg folate total between prenatals and folate supplement).
After this loss, my husband and I have decided we want to have another child. I don't see my OB again until Jul. 3, so I have no idea what he will tell me about TTC, but I do know that we won't be doing any of that at least until fall.
The loss has been hard because I keep dreaming about having a baby. It's sad to wake up and realize that I'm not pregnant and the only thing that I have to look forward to right now is a visit from AF. LOL! Whoda thought I'd be pulling out the Welcome Wagon for her?!
Even if I can't TTC for a while, I just want to feel normal again. The crampiness in my back still exists a little and I still feel a slight sensation in my bottom every now and again. It's only been a month since my first shot, so I guess it's just going to take time for all the strange uncomfy feelings to go away.
Thanks for giving me the chance to share my story. I know it's a long one!

Presh- I am so sorry to hear that you have added stress to your pregnancy. I will be thinking of you and hoping for the best for you. Make sure you are resting!
Jammers- I am so sorry to hear what you have gone through. We feel your pain and thoughts of wanting to be pregnant. There have been a lot of success stories on this thread, so keep faith that it will happen for you again!
Afm, I have an appointment with my OB July 3 to do one last check up before we start trying again in July! Hopefully we get the thumbs up
