TTC after Methotrexate shot

[autigers55]

Congrats Tracey!!

Renzal - Glad you got to hear the hb!!

AFM - Nothing new with me, just still anxiously waiting for a sticky bean. I am 10dpo today and got a bfn, so I dont think this was my cycle. I go to my dr on the 20th and I am going to ask them for help because I dont think my body can get pregnant on its own now.

Renzal so pleased your scan went well and you got to hear the heartbeat, fantastic news! Fingers crossed for it's your forever baby x

Hooray Tracey, that's brilliant, so chuffed for you!

Renzal, so pleased all is good with you!

Presh, nearly half way how are you feeling? X

I can't believe it's almost time for me to TTC. Seems like it's been forever since the ectopic. I get to start trying here in a couple of weeks! It's Day 18, and my period will probably arrive in a little over a week. After that we'll be crossing our fingers for a normal pregnancy. I'm feeling so nervous though. Scared to death I'll have another ectopic!

Well, I'm out. I went and had my progesterone tested and they said it was really low, and they are going to start me on clomid for the next cycle. If I was PG, it would be higher.
I'm sad, but at least I know whats up.
Anyone else on clomid? Advice? Stories?

good luck ladies xx will have everything crossed for you x

Hey hun you in the UK or US? When I was pg my prog levels were really high,I was actually in the 2% bracket of having a mc or an ep guess I just have bad luck,I was,wondering if I should go and have mine tested to see if the ep has ,affected me in anyway,I live in the UK and they don't really test your progestrone unless you request it xxx

 

[Laubull]

Grkgrl, I'm sorry you're out but good news they're giving you Clomid. I've not had it personally but my friend who has pcos took it and got pregnant first time! Good luck to you

 

[GrkGrl]

Thanks for the words of encouragement ladies!

Cathgibbs, I am in the US. I requested the test. I figured that I had the HSG test and so why not? It was cheap with my insurance. Since I have been pregnant (successfully) before, I was not expecting it to be low. But I guess your body is always changing.

They checked my levels when I was having the ectopic as well (before it was a confirmed ectopic) and the progesterone levels were really low. They had just said that it meant the pregnancy probably wasn't good. They were right! But I wonder if I had this problem for a while.

Anyway, now I can't wait to get AF so I can start up again. Hopefully, the Clomid will do the trick!!

 

[Laubull]

Starting spotting last night and light cramps, this is how my ectopic started before Off to EPU for a scan at 9.55. Fingers crossed its nothing but can't help but think it's the beginning of the end

[cathgibbs]

Awwww hun i really hope its nothing and just normal, keep us updated xxxxxxxxxx

 

[Renzalxx]

Good luck Laubull, hopefully its just the little one settling in. Will be thinking of you xxx

 

[traceyAndLee]

im back her girls was a false positive - but iv never bin happy to see AF see toook her time to come but shes her, xxxxx

 

[baby_maybe]

Hope everything is ok laubull, I had the same at 6 weeks and it was fine

Incidentally I have another scan tomorrow at epau. I have still been getting some spotting on and off and when I had my booking appointment this afternoon with the midwife I explained to her that it was freaking me out and she called epau and arranged it for me. She was great actually, so I'm really hoping that this spotting is nothing and baby is still growing nicely in there.

 

[PreshFest]

Laubull I hope all is ok....

AFM, I'm doing fine! I find out the sex one week from today!!! I think I need to go in for bloods, though, as I'm feeling quite anemic. I started on extra iron just in case, but I'm exhausted!

 

[jammers77]

Sorry to hear of your worries, Laubull!

 

[Laubull]

Looks like bad news girls....

A urine test only showed a very faint line, I was hoping this was due to diluted urine..... but because of this they wouldn't scan me, which is crazy considering my ectopic in March! Anyway they instead did an internal, the cervix is closed but I am still getting brown spotting, why then?!

Anyway just got the results from the blood test they did, HCG only 71 so looks like this isn't a viable pregnancy as it should be higher than that by now and I got 2-3 weeks on a digi last week so must be dropping

The big question is, is it an ectopic or is it a miscarriage (I've not lost a lot of blood), so confused and pissed off they wouldn't scan me, it would at least answer the ectopic question.

Going back Wednesday for another blood test, hopefully that will shead more little on my situation.

So upset and frustrated, will I ever get my rainbow baby? It seems to easy for some people

Thank you for your support girls.

[cathgibbs]

Oh hun i am soooooo sorry, why the hell wouldnt they scan you!?! xxx

 

[PreshFest]

So sorry Laubull!! That is so strange they wouldn't scan you, especially since you are 6 weeks along! What BS! I'm so sorry you are going through this, though. I also had a mc after my ectopic.. My sister just had the same also. I swear that mtx is horrible!!!

You will get your rainbow baby, though... If this is a miscarriage, then you will be able to try again as soon as you are up for it, so no waiting period like you have with the methotrexate. I'm so so so so sorry. I've been there and I know how hard it is.

 

[baby_maybe]

I'm so sorry laubull I'm really confused why they wouldn't scan you though? With a previous ectopic that should of been the first thing to check. I didn't have a pg test or bloods done when I went to epau with spotting the first time, they were just concerned about making sure my tubes/ovaries were clear because of last time. I hope you get some proper answers soon and aren't left hanging too long.
