Egg quality after methotrexate

[MmMmChips]

So I had methotrexate for a pregnancy of unknown location end of May, my levels dropped to 0 quickly and I have since been taking folic acid. I am now having my 3rd period so want to start trying again soon. Is my egg quality back to normal now? Ive read your egg quality for the first 2 eggs can be affected but I dont know what this actually means..

There is really no way for them to measure egg quality so precisely. They know that methotrexate stops the body from using folic acid effectively which of course can be problematic in pregnancy. The three months recommendation is pretty standard and is about making sure it has gone and your body has recovered from its effects.

FWIW, I had methotrexate one September and conceived the following January and had no problems at all.

Thanks, Im booked in for bloods to check my folate level next week to make sure its all ok so fingers crossed 🤞 glad everything went ok with your pregnancy x
