Methotrexate?
So I am currently awaiting the methotrexate shot after seeing on yesterday’s u/s something in my left tube. I’ve had slow rising hcg for 3 weeks now. How long after were you able to try again? I’ve read 3mths, 6mths and a year. Didn’t ask my dr yesterday because I felt so overwhelmed and the hospital doing the shot seem to have NO experience with this procedure. My nurse said she hasn’t administered this shot for an ectopic since she’s been here(very reassuring). My dr said he sees maybe 2-4 ectopics a year, but usually in the ER from rupture.

Thank you ladies. I’m feeling so much better and just hoping my numbers go down from here. Your words are so appreciated, more than you know. Everyone here has such unique stories and they are all truly inspiring.???
I was going to need this with my slow rising hcgs but then I miscarriedand they dropped. They said 2 cycles or 3 months. They do thw methotrexate shot at my fertility clinic in their office. I can't believe your RE let this linger for so long for you. When it was slow rising and continued to stay and it wasn't going down he or she should have given you this shot if nothing was in your uterus. Glad you got the Shot can work your way towards recovery and prep for another cycle. You'll be pregnant soon and this will be behind you. I'm thinking about you.
I’m home from the hospital now. Feeling pretty nauseous and exhausted. Going next Wednesday for my first hcg test and seeing dr on Friday, but my dr said not to be surprised if my numbers don’t drop right away. God, I hope this does its job, I just want closure and my health.
More2Come that is not actually correct information Methotrexate long term usage and effect on pregnancies is two completely different things. Long term usage is an issue because it can become medically taxing on the rental system-the toxicity level of this drug is very high and even the smallest residual amounts can cause harm in the early stages of fetal development and to any pregnant woman. It is a very potent medication.
As a nurse (I work in L & D) it’s definitely best to wait the suggested 2 months. It sucks and I’m sorry for what your going through!! I also have a child with special needs who requires weekly methotrexate injections and I wasn’t even allowed to handle the vile while pregnant let alone administer her injections. Metho is nasty stuff and always best to follow the precautions to a T. Good luck hun and sending you positive vibes ?
I had the shot back in Feb. Unfortunately for me it took a week to begin the MC process and then because I was almost 10 weeks it took awhile for my HCG levels to come down. so by the time they came down it had had already been a few months and we started TTC month 3 after having the shot.
After reading research studies and methotrexate and pregnancies it seems 1 shot of methotrexate isnt (statistically) as harmful to future pregnancies as people make it out. Its the multiple dosages / long term use thats concerning. Like those who are being treated with methotrexate regularly.
I think the advised 3 month wait and folic acid is mostly a precaution. Additionally your body needs to heal you wouldnt want a 2nd ectopic.
The actual shot is fine, mine was administered in my rear. But, with my dr, they admit you to the hospital and you have to stay for 24 hour monitoring. I’ll be here until tomorrow afternoon. So far I feel ok.
I came to the hospital today and received the shot around 2pm. I’m sorry for your loss...
IUI Monday!!
So today I went in for my routine bloodwork and ultrasound, and found out that I have three follicles at 17mm! Plus another two at 15mm. When leaving the clinic my FS said to take another dose of gonal-f and come back tomorrow to check to see how big they got and that we would do the iui on Wednesday. Well, after getting home, taking my gonal-f and going out to shovel snow (lol) I get a call saying that I am SURGING!!! I haven't ovulated on my own, or even come close to it in years...
Yesterday I went out with my boyfriend went to watch a movie, me and him don't live together yet. but point is yesterday when he was dropping me off his like sleep over at my house witch the mom and dad lives. I said no,
his response was why is everyone deciding or making choices for you and their going to do the same with the baby, when I know that's not true. what he thinks is that my mom tells me not to sleep over. So he left all mad. and I felt in my heart that he went on and cheated on me...
tmi i need ur opinions pik in comments! the dr said i was bleeding yesterday after she check for dialation im only 36weeks 4cm. Is this a sign for me to go to the hospital?
on the 6th October I did 2 test with 2 lines , 3rd test was clear blue digital and was positive 2-3 weeks I was waiting for a month for a midwife appointment.. so yesterday I started bleeding went today for a scan and they go to me no sac .. but can see a cyst or a sac outside the womb so therefore she did another test there and it was negative .. she said if it was positive it would have been ectopic pregnancy but because it was negative she said it's miscarriage.
Has anyone else been through...
I see a lot of ladies on her that's getting shots for different things, I haven't got one shot or my dr haven't mentioned anything about a shot. I wonder why
How are you doing?
