Hi,
I was wondering if anyone could help me with when I will be able to TTC again. I was diagnosed wtih an EP on the 3rd of April after being misdagnosed with a micarraige and being given a D and C. I was treated with Mrthotrexate due to my very low hormone levels however it took 3 doses. All the information I can find is about being given 1 or 2 doses and whe nyu’ve had that much you should wait 3 months before TTC. Is this the same for 3 doses or should I wait longer? One Dr reccomended 6 months but another said 3.
Have any of you had 3 doses and how long were you advised to wait/did wait?
Thank you for your help. I’d not have got through this without this site and log on any time I’m feeling alone.
Thank you all.
I’ve had two doses and the wait time I was told is three months.
I was told to wait 3 months after having the final injection (if more than one is needed)… You need to take folic acid for 12 weeks before TTC as the Methotrexate drains your body. It’s also a good idea to let your cycles establish again so you know where you are
Thank ladies, that was what I thought but it get confusing when different Dr’s say different things.
So sorry you had to have three mtx shots. The official advice is to wait 2 cycles/3 months once your levels have reached <5 however many shots you had. And, it’s important to take folic acid for 12 weeks once your levels have dropped. Here is the EPT’s advice - click into the Timing section: x
