ive been set back a little

i went to see the doctor the other day for another issue, but briefly mentioned the ectopic and asked when it would be ok to ttc. he said he didnt know anything about methotrexate so didnt want to advise me

anyway, he said it would probably be safer to wait untill i see the consultant and to ask him, and asked if i had got my check-up appointment from him yet, i said no so he gave me his secretay's number to ring. well i just rang them and my appointment isnt untill july 8th, so i have been set back almost a month

***HERES THE UPDATE***

well i just rang the hospital where i was seen and spoke to the nurse. i told her i knew you had to wait for 3 months before TTC again, but i wanted to know 3 months from when. she then went off to ask the doctor and told me you have to wait 3 months from the day your treatment ended - when your beta HCG has reached non-pregnant levels. So she thinks it is best to wait to see the doc on 8th july and discuss it wth hm.

Now....i had loads of beta's done and mine reached below 5 (non pregnant level) on the 31st march, so in reality i will be safe to conceive 31st june, if there is a 31st, there might only be 30days in june .am i right???

but i am going to wait those extra few days and talk to the consultant, and if my calculatons are right i will be fertile from 23rd-27th july, so thats timed just right

oh no sweetheart
maybe they will have a cancellation and get you in earlier! *fingers crossed*
i know its hard having to wait the extra month but sometimes its for the best (better safe than sorry)
im holding of on ttc now as well so maybe we will be ttc at the same time
chin up hun, its not THAT far away

I hope the wait goes by quickly!!

Big Hugs! I just got the shot of methotrexate yesterday, so when you find out, let me know. I have heard it stays in you system aywhere from 2 weeks to 6 weeks, but that wasn't from the doctor...

[Pitridge]

I'm sorry about you having to wait, but it might be for the best. Before you know it it will be July, you'll see

[smithcdee]

I received the methotrexate shot back in February and my doctor told me that the drug remains in your system for approximately 20 days, but he did advise that I wait 2 to 3 cycles before TTC again. I hope this information helps.

I'm sorry you have to wait! That stinks! I'm so not a good waiter, I feel your pain! The time will pass quicker than you think though, you'll see.

Hun!!

Ugh, im sorry for the set back, but it will go by fast. I know that im the least patient person in the world, but i feel like there is a bigger plan out there for me, and if all you can do is wait, then thats all you really can do. I really hope your apt gets bumped up though hun.

[princesskate]

thank you everybody. i just feel really, well, to be honest i cant explain how i feel now. just really down. and im taking it out on my family.

today i am going to ring the consultant see if i can speak to him, if not i am going to ring the ward where i was admitted to and given the methotrexate. there is always a doctor available to talk to on the ward, they where great before when ever i rang about my hcg, and the methotrexate.

when i was in hospital i was told it stays n your system for 3 months if you have one shot, and 6 months if you have 2 shots of methotrexate. and i had one shot, so i was told i cant get pregnant for 3 months. but i need to know 3 months from when??? is it 3 months from the date you had the shot?? oh, and i am on my 2nd cycle since the jab

[madmum_sarah]

i hope someone can give you an answer soon hun and hopefully a good one!
i will be looking for an update so please keep us posted hun

im sorry to hear you have had another ectopic hun

i am confused now why on earth do doctors tell everyone diffrent things lol. well 12 weeks from the date i had the shot puts me in middle of june, think i will discuss this with my consultant when i see him

[.x~KAT~x.]

if i were you i would wait until 12 weeks then wait for first AF and then try from that cycle KWIM thats my sorta plan (of course i would ask the doctor as well ) xx
