TTC following an ectopic pregnancy

Hi, My DH and I have been TTC for the last 8 months and finally found out I was pregnant before christmas. Since then I have been in hospital and have been treated for an ectopic pregnancy. I was given a hefty dose of Methotrexate which has made me feel rotten and should induce a miscarriage soon. We can't start TTC for 3 months now which is really hard to take as it took us a while the first time - but everything will have to be on hold until the summer now. Has anyone experienced this?

glad all went well

OracleInaCoracle · 11/01/2008 09:07

absolutely! appointment went well,they took gallons of blood. and we have to go back on the 31st for the results (will rush them through) and for a bone density scan. will almost certainly need thinning injections and very frequent scans next pg but she seemed very confident that they can help us and on the 31st we will see the man himself (he's on hols for a month after, and he wants to see us himself) she has also done a pg test. (af had gone awol) which we get the results for today.but think my period started this morning, just without any fanfare!

Feeling better now phoned fertility nurse and she is going to scan this month to check for ovulation. This cycle better at 32 days I took agnus catus for the first half of my cycle so hopefully this is getting things back to normal. Right positive thinking now 2008 will be are year Lissie!

All results were fine from lap and dye tube looked good dr removed small amount of scarring from near my ovary. So going to carry on ttc naturaly at the mo. Dh not keen on ivf again so we will see also all the drugs i took with the ivf have mucked my cycle up now 34-35 days! instead of 29-30. dd had a great time at christmas we have got a house full of baby dolls instead of real ones. It almost broke my heart the other day when she asked me when can we get a real one. Let me know how you get on today.

OracleInaCoracle · 09/01/2008 12:19

train journey is 1hr 45. and i know re ttc. what cani say, i can be very persuasive! got bfn this morning tho, so just waiting now. what's your next step? more ivf? how did the lap & dye go? when will you get the results?

i couldnt cope with the ttcafter mc thread you should join us, its not as strict now

cedar12 · 21/12/2007 21:07

Just read my post back I sound really miserable not that bad really. I see you have started up the hut again I have been lurking a bit.

merrylissiemas · 21/12/2007 21:03

oh im sorry to hear that. ithink they find it hard to understand our ache, butenjoying xmassounds like a good idea.
he should find reflexology helpful too.

cedar12 · 21/12/2007 20:54

Sorry had to put dd to bed. up and down really me and dh have had some problems he feels we have put are life on hold etc. He has been so stressed lately I told him I was going to leave if it carried on. We are doing alright now, If think we both feel are friends etc have moved on with life and we are just stuck waiting to get pg. I sent him for a reflexology appointment this week so hopefully that helped! I have been working a lot more now that lucy is at school which has been good, getting back into the swing of things. so havent had to much time to dwell. I am sure this month is the right side for me so there is no reason why it shouldnt happen I suppose. Just cant imagagine it happening now. Dh is cousin wife is pg again with her 3rd and I feel so jealous. Any way I am not that sad really and both me and dh have decieded to eat drink and be merry.

merrylissiemas · 21/12/2007 18:24

i know. how are you really? how was your appointment?

cedar12 · 21/12/2007 18:10

merrylissiemas · 20/12/2007 22:12

what a difference ayear makes! anyone about?

cedar12 · 04/11/2007 09:57

Hi Pink elephant nice to hear from you hope every thing good with you you must have big bump by now. Well still ttc this end had ivf in the summer but ended up with infection from the embryo transfer so bfn. Having another laposcopy next week so fingers crossed for after that last time I got pg 2 month after that. One good thing which came out of the ivf we found out dh sperm motility was crap since he started smoking again but he gave up a few months ago and it more than doubled so shouldnt be any trouble that end. Lucy has started school and is loving it. Keep in touch.

lissietothosefireworks · 03/11/2007 13:37

PinkElephant · 02/11/2007 15:53
