Hi all.
First of sending everyone on here a hug as we are all here as we have been through a horrific time in our lives.
So I had an ectopic pregnancy back in October which was treated with 2 doses of Meth. So I was told to wait 6months from the date of the 2nd injection. This was up last month but this happened to be up a week before my period was due so last month didn’t really count.
This is the 1st month of really trying and I am feeling lots of emotion and having lots of symptoms- although I can’t work out if it is in my mind and I am almost making myself feel theses things or I am actually feeling these things. I am not due till Thursday.
I’m all over the place with my emotions and I just wondered if anyone else felt/ feels similar to me each month?!
Anyone got any idea how soon I can do a test?
Thanks all

Hi,
I was treated for eptopic with methotrexate on 1st March so I know what an awful experience it is. We are only a week or so away from being able to try again which is great but I also feel scared about it happening again. You can usually test around 3 days before your period is due with the clear blue tests. Really hope this is your month. Keep me updated 
I wasn’t my month! I think it was me wanting to feel all of Those things I kinda forced myself to feel them if that makes any sense?! Still trying tho! Xx
Sorry to hear that, better look this month. Are you tracking ovulation?! xx
Aww thank you. I’m currently just using the dates really… Since the ectopic I am ridiculasly regular… Every 4th Thursday 10pm!! Lol! So I am tracking it that way as I don’t really wanna get too bogged down with dates at the mo, just wanna try to relax and enjoy the ‘trying’ Although this is easier said than done! We’ll see… We are only on our 2nd month of trying since so I need to just chill and accept what nature sends my way for a little while I think. Xxx
I agree, it is a little easier said than do though but I was tracking whilst recovering from the methotrexate and have decided not to track this time and take a natural approach. Keep me posted on your progress. X
I totally understand how you have been feeling. Sorry you had to go through the horrible time too 
I had an ectopic back in Nov/Dec last year and was also treated with 2 rounds of methotrexate. We were told to wait for 3 months after my hcg levels had dropped to non-pregnant levels.
The first month of trying afterwards I was totally convinced I was pregnant. I seemed to have all the symptoms - then I wasn’t. I didn’t get pregnant the next month either so this month I decided to chart my temperature and used OPKs. I found out I was ovulating a couple of days later than I thought. I was worried it might make things stressful but tbh I was finding it quite (IE LOADS!) stressful anyway!
The outcome of this is that I am now cautiously pleased that I have have a bfp this month! There is a long way to go…2 weeks to wait until I can be scanned to check it is not another ectopic for a start…but I was worrying that I wouldn’t be able to conceive again after all the methotrexate so taking it one day at a time I am happy to know I can.
Good luck!

Congratulations Ladyem. Have you called the hospital and arranged for your six week scan? Definitely think it’s a good idea to take it one day at a time. This is our first month trying after the 3 month wait so we shall see if it happens this month. I used the 3 month wait to track ovulation and temp so I have a good idea when it should be but we shall see. X
Aww that’s such good news! Congrats!!
What is the temperature check? How does that help you?
Di
Thanks ladies! Fingers crossed things go ok this time!
I haven’t called them yet - busy day at work but I will give them a ring tomorrow to try arrange my scan.
Di - I used the fertility friend app - it’s really simple you just enter your basal body temp (bbt) every morning (I took it as soon as I woke up every day - got a cheap thermometer on Amazon) plus added information about opk tests and it does a graph for you and marks when it thinks based on the day you have ovulated. It was actually very easy!
Good luck - I hope ttc again is as stress free as it can be for you.

Keep us updated on your progress and I am sure it will all go well this time. X
Aww thank u guys! I may well try that, I’d not heard of doing that before, willing to give it a go! Just trying to forget about trying a little but it easier said than done really! Will keep everything crossed (not the legs!!) keep us all updated on progress!! Xxx
Morning Nicola and Ladyem
So im a day late and dos a preg test this am… And I’m pregnant! Mixed emotions! Im a little worried but scared to be excited!!
Do I ring the doctors or ring the EPU 1st?!
Di xx
That’s fantastic - congratulations. I would call your doctor first who should refer you but if they won’t then you can call EPU yourself and self refer.
Did you have any symptoms? I am in my two week wait and am testing next Friday if AF hasn’t arrived. Only thing I have had is some very vivid dreams the last few nights.
Keep us posted x

Thank you ladies.
So I spoke to gp yesterday. She was brilliant and organised an appointment with. Her at 6weeks and then a scan at 8weeks but instructed me if there was any pain or bleeding to go straight to A&E don’t hesitate!
I’m really nervous bout it I really want to be excited but I’m so nervous of things go wrong. 
Keep me updated on you guys!

Hi butterfly1,
Other than vivid dreams nothing so far, will hold out and test the day of my missed period. I don’t feel like I am but who knows. How are you? X
Everything is crossed for you.
I’m fine thank you. Hubby and I are now officially ttc again and feeling both excited and nervous about it!
Hopefully we will both have our BFP soon 
Please keep us posted and take care xx
Yay! That’s great news! It’s exciting but scary at the same time isn’t it. I haven’t had any symptoms yet but will keep you updated and likewise. Xx
Thanks ladies!
