TTC after Methotrexate shot

[PreshFest]

Yay for the HB! How exciting!!

Question for your pregnant ladies - did any of your little beans come from your "bad" side?

AFM- I got my period. So, 14 days until I can start trying again. Oh well, helps me build up my Folic Acid a little more, I guess.

Both of my pregnancies since the ectopic came from my good side... Which has me convinced my bad side is blocked!

Cath - (i think you were the one who asked the question...) We started ttc 2 months after the shot but dind't get pregnant until the 3rd month anyway. But sadly lost that baby

My triplets came from my bad side...2 eggs. Was just about to arrange for an hcg before I found out I was pregnant x

Libby you should post some scan pics!!

Thanks for the responses. Libby - wow! That is pretty reassuring!

Presh- did you ever get an HSG? Do you remember what side your little girl came from? I remember that my son came from my "good" side, which makes me wonder...

I got the HSG and all is clear, so who knows. But even as I was trying this month, I was worried about that.

For those who asked - my doc also said that I could start trying again after 2 cycles - which, for me was only about 2.5 months since the shot, but this board convinced me otherwise. I was even nervous about TTC this cycle and it would have been 3 cycles (3.5 months since shot; 90+ days of folic acid). I am of course frustrated that I did not get the BFP, but also relieved that next month, I KNOW I am far enough away from the nasty MTX.

In defense of those TTC earlier than 3 months, my doc told me to "stop reading things on the internet" - ha, and that it really depends on how your dosage and how quickly you get back to normal. So, I think it can vary.

Yay Baby-Maybe... that is fab news hun... bet your relieved.

Chigstar... when are you going to POAS luvvie???? Must be nearly time yes?

I was planning on testing today initially, but I started spotting brown yesterday. This is what usually happens right before AF shows, so I think I am out this month. AF is due to arrive sometime between tomorrow and Sunday. As hard as it is to not test, I don't want to disappoint myself.

Oh that sucks Chig.... Implantation bleeding maybe?? How many DPO are you hun? Im holding out hope for you chicken that the witchy doesnt show her ugly head.

I went for bloods on Tuesday so hopefully know some news by the end of the day. Have no symptoms whatsoever (apart from a bright pink - make that 6 bright pink positive tests) so i am going to just calmly let nature take its course and try not to stress too much about things...YEAH RIGHT hahahaha...

 

[chig]

I am now 12 dpo today and on cd 28. My temp is slowly going down, but I didn't have any spotting when I wiped this morning???!! I also do not have any symptoms, other than feeling tired and sleepy and my back hurting time to time. But this could by just a sign that AF is on her way too. My cycles vary from being 28-30 days long, so I will know by the end of the weekend! I am trying not to keep my hopes too high, because I can just tell that I am not pregnant. Sorry for sounding so negative.

 

[Renzalxx]

I will be your positive posse hun, would be ace to be bump buddies with you... Your still in with a fightin chance so will keep everything crossed for you xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

 

[alleysm]

Renz any news on your bloodwork?

 

[chig]

I will be your positive posse hun, would be ace to be bump buddies with you... Your still in with a fightin chance so will keep everything crossed for you xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

So not sure what my body is doing, but no spotting at all today!! I don't know if AF is playing games with me or what. I still think that she is coming because my temps are dropping slowly for the past two days. This has never happened before. Since the MTX, all of my periods start out with brown spotting for 2-3 days and then full flow. I thought for sure this is what was going to happen. Instead, this time, I had 2 days of spotting and then nothing!

I am now 13dpo and on CD 28 with no obvious symptoms. It is sooooooo hard to not POAS.

It would be pretty great to be bump buddies with you hun!!!

Good luck chig, got my fx for you xxx

BayBeeEm, welcome. I'm sorry for your loss, and all of us here share your pain. Here's to wishing you a healthy pregnancy soon!

Baby_maybe, congratulations on that HB!

Waiting on AF to start. I've had an odd month--not sure when I ovulated (two days are suspect, but no one here seems to know for certain), so I'm waiting to find out when AF shows. CD 31 when my average is 29. No idea when I'm gonna start. Temps have not fallen at all yet.

 

[Gwenylovey]

Good luck Chig, can't believe you have the willpower to not POAS! Renzal, excited to hear about the blood work!

 

[chig]

I hate to say this but the ugly witch showed her face in the middle of the night. Booooooo. Well, here's to hoping for my rainbow baby next month.

I am just glad to have an answer and glad it was not another ectopic. With all the on and off spotting, I started freak out. Now I can relax and look forward to next month!

Renzal, I can't wait for you to get your blood work! Hopefully, I will join you next month!

 

[BayBeeEm]

I know how you feel Chig. Although this wasn't the month, its good to know that you're in still in good standing. Here's to your BFP next month!

Awesome, I know you must be thrilled! Getting to zero almost feels like you're starting to leave that not so pleasant stage in your life behind you at long last.
