TTC after Methotrexate shot

[angelofheaven]

hello ladies,
i need some help. i had my blood test result and in a week it dropped from 116 to 98. does this mean that i am going to miscarry? my doctor said that it is supposed to go up and not down! please help me !!!

Do you have any spotting?

 

[angelofheaven]

no spotting!

 

[alleysm]

How are your progesterone levels?

 

[angelofheaven]

sorry i forgot to say that my progesterone dropped from 116 to 98 in a week. is it normal for progesterone levels to fluctuate during the first trimister?

 

[alleysm]

What are your beta numbers in relation to the progesterone?

 

[angelofheaven]

my doctor is not checking them. she said checking progesterone is enough

 

[alleysm]

Given how far along you are your betas are probably fine. I woild suggest you get on progesterone supplements immediately and a minimum of 200mg twice a day. Have you had a scan? Should be able to see heartbeat.

 

[angelofheaven]

i have had 4 scans and saw hearbeat. all seems to be perfect. i am on progesterone supplements 400mg a day but now doctor doubled the dose 800 mg a day.

 

[alleysm]

With all of that being said.. i think you will be alright. No spotting, heartbeat, progesterone supplements. Im sure you will get another scan soon just to check on things.

 

[angelofheaven]

i get a scan and blood test every week!!! but i am still frightened because when i had my first miscarriage at 7weeks4days, i saw heartbeat, was on progesterone supplements and didnt have any spotting (

 

[alleysm]

I dont think the fear will ever leave until youre holding your bundle. It really sounds like youre in great care and everything is being done! ! Big hugs! !

 

[angelofheaven]

thanks very much for the encouragement. i really need it at the moment. i see you had an ectopic - i had one as welll when my tubes seemed to be fine. so strange!

It seems like the doctors are keeping a close eye on you. I am not sure what it means for your numbers to drop, it seems like everything else seems good, especially since there is a heartbeat.

I'll be praying for you.

 

[angelofheaven]

thanks a lot. i have read on the internet that progesterone tend to fluctuate.. hope all will be ok. thanks for the prayers xxx

has anyone heard about Progesterone in Oil (PIO)? Do you know if it is safe to use it? Can anyone give me some info about it pls?

Hi ladies - I've been at zero for a few weeks (took me 6 weeks to get there)! Being at zero made me feel so much better, both physically and emotionally. Now I'm impatiently waiting to see what my cycle does. I did start bleeding as soon as I got to zero and I'm hopeful that was a period, but who knows. I have been charting and I don't think I've o'd yet. Once I have a few cycles, I plan to have an HSG before TTC again.

ladies how much did your HCG rise on the 4th day?! My hcg on Friday was in the 800's today (4th day) it has gone up to 1400odd, i know its suppose to rise slightly but im not petrified as the hospital have told me if my HCH has increased any more by Friday im having emergency surgery to remove my tube xxx

 

[PreshFest]

OOh Cath, that doesn't sound good. Your #s almost doubled! Is antoher mtx dose out of the question? A ruptured tube can be very dangerous, so surgery is probably not a bad idea, unfortunately.... I'm so so so sorry. My hcg went up, but it was only like 250 to begin with and then went up to 386 and then started going back down.

 

[alleysm]

Mine went from 2400 to 1300 to 1700. Have you asked about another mtx shot
