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?

Thanks aitch, I have some pineapple juice in the fridge and I will go and get some brazil nuts this afternoon. they have given me about a 50% chance of it working. My dr only wants to put back one embryo because of my age I am 28 what do you think.

Aitch · 25/06/2007 12:04

ooh ooh ooh! how unbelievably Exciting! start eating brazil nuts and drinking pineapple juice too, and go for some acupuncture. go crazy, you might as well give it a great shot!

Hello Aitch and Pink elephant. Af just arrived and feel better now it has my hormones are awful at the moment. Just phoned the ivf clinic and they are doing me a treatment plan for this month it all starts on day 21 I think. Got to start drinking lot of water and milk it help arrently. 2 litres of water and 1 of milk.

hi everyone, hope all is as well as can be.

cedar, don't give up hope. or do give up hope, i suppose, if that's what you want, cos it won't really have any bearing on getting pg. just keep shagging and we'll do the hoping for you. and if that doesn't work, the IVF is soon.

and lissie, i got dd's test at 9dpo as well. then had some bleeding, erk, so off to the hosp. a few days later they saw the sac so concluded that it was implantation bleeding, that's the downside of finding out so soon... it's brilliant news for you, chin up, fingers crossed etc etc.

Hiya good luck with your ivf, please try and stay positive, one of my friends got pregant thru ivf, so it can work, just keep your fingers crossed

cedar12 · 25/06/2007 10:33

Hi everyone, How are you doing Lissie hope all is well.
Well my af due today mixed feelings really did a test this morning bfn feeling a bit fed up. Was hope by some mircale a might be pg before ivf. I wish it would just hurry up now so we can get a date for the ivf, but I am crapping my self about it. I am so worried it wont work. Dont think i can cope with any more of this ttc. Dh want to stop ttc if this ivf dosent work. I must stop being so negative.

Genidef · 23/06/2007 22:12

cedar12 · 21/06/2007 12:24

lissie · 21/06/2007 11:18

doc has confirmed that i am indeed pg at 9dpo! he said that 3 tests cant all be wrong and my stomach is nice and soft (apparently they can tell the difference between fat and soft) so i am due on 7th march. keep them crossed for me!! im really scared.

Genidef · 20/06/2007 21:35

Cedar happy birthday
Mysteriously I can no longer access Mumsnet at work...it's probably for the best really...but the website no longer goes through.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY! Hope you've had a great day.

lissie · 20/06/2007 08:05

aw ds isnt going to school. he will stay with his mummy forever and ever

cedar12 · 20/06/2007 07:59

It makes you feel quite un needed dosent it, but better than screaming the place down I suppose.
dd had a settling session yesterday afternoon at school informed me shes a big school girl now and went around in the school dress i bought her all last night and want to wear it again today!

lissie · 20/06/2007 07:51

Hi Girls,

A quick update cos im in the middle of moving house.

Had a internal scan yesterday and we saw the sack in the right place . Still empty but thats to be expected as im just 5 weeks or maybe a little less.

Thank god i didnt need the laparoscopy!!

Anyway got to go. So many things to move. I'll be back on with an update once the internet is hooked up at the new place xx
