Short version: Methotrexate is a cancer drug but is used for many other purposes including being used in ectopic pregnancies and non-surgical abortions. It depletes folic acid reserves and stops cell duplication in rapidly dividing cells (like cancer, or a fetus). After my lapro and D&C they gave it to me, I guess as insurance. To make sure that any ectopic remains would fail (thus potentially saving MY life).

Oh two! Mama, what a rollercoaster. Prayers for protection for your little bean and that s/he grows perfectly if still viable.
I didn't realize they gave methotrexate along with surgery!
I've had no more pain or spotting, so I think the pain was a ligament--my toddler had jumped on me earlier in the day. I can't decide whether to make an appointment with an OB or not. I'm leaning not, at this point.

Bean wouldn't havr been affected by your toddlers play this early since your uterus is still tucked safely behind your pelvis. You are prob right and if pain and bleeding have stopped then bean is likely fine :D

I'm still PREGNANT!!!! NO JOKE!!! AND my beta went from 4,935 on Saturday morning to 11,000 yesterday when I took my blood test (doubling time= 71.78 hours so BARELY on the cusp of normal). For a moment when I saw the bean In THE UTERUS (wasn't there a few days ago btw!!) my heart leapt. I thought "my bean was strong enough to beat it all!!" but then my mind immediately went to the methotrexate :( Bean is JUST a gest sac and yolk sac and is measuring 5w 2d (I would be 5 weeks 6 days by ovulation... but i guess its possible this bean didn't implant until 4 days after the first... right??) with no fetal pole. Doctor told me to immediately start taking my multi vitamins again in hopes of stopping the methotrexate in it's tracks (*IF* this could be a viable pregnancy) as folic and other vitamins diminish it's effectiveness. BUT I am not holding my breath on this one. Even the OB (who said he was baffled btw, lol... leave it to me to stump the doc!) said not to get my hopes up. He had me schedule and u/s for next week and I already have orders for BW on Saturday. He said we'd know more then. So, thus begins the LONGEST week of my life!!
As far as the pain, my left ovary has a hemorrhagic cyst and is adhered to something (not sitting quite right in there) but I was told this won't cause any issues getting preg in the future, assuming this preg is doomed as suspected.
Two!!!!!! What in the world?? I mean WHAAAAT?!?!?!?!?
I'm stunned but at the same time wow!!
I hope this little bean continues to be your little miracle . . . I can't imagine how you feel what a journey.

On a second note though, what DID they do then when they performed the surgery? Were there two eggs and one WAS outside the uterus? Did they open you up, see you had a sac and sew you back up? I mean...wth did they do? Which makes me wonder if they saw something why they put you on the metho? So many questions...man oh man I am pulling for this bean!!!

They did a laproscopic surgery to try to find and remove the pregnancy, D&C... don't know why... procedure maybe?, and topped it off with methotrexate.
Copied from my TTC thread:
"That seems to be the question of the hour. I talked to my OB for the first time today since surgery. He said (before today's u/s) that during the surgery my tube looked great, that my uterus was swollen like it should be when preg but there was no uterine preg (again BEFORE the u/s) and that they barely got any tissue from the D&C and couldn't find bean outside the uterus. Said the only thing he noticed out of sorts was that my ovary on the left side was kinda rolled over and he said he tried but couldn't fix it and said it sometimes happens if there is a cyst, endometriosis, etc. weighing it down. AFTER the u/s he was as dumbfounded as I was and said he was baffled and basically everything I already posted that he said. He said he has never had this happen to him before. So honestly, he nor I know if it's a case of u/s tech error or what... "
I *think* that answers all the questions you asked lol.

OMG two !!
It is possible they missed the pregnancy because less than 5 weeks usg does not show a sac. Its too tiny.
But a pregnancy cannot survive a D&C. They scrape off (curretage) ur uterine lining when doing that or atleast they r supposed to.
So i dont know know what they were doing
How did they even think u had an ectopic bcoz like i said not finding a sac in uterus less than 5 weeks doesnot automatically mean ectopic

My OB did not even bother with the sono and said for ectopic we rely on HCG levels until atleast 5 weeks and then if needed a sonogram is done

I don't want to sue. I know it's my right but unless this baby makes it and needs major care (which cost... a lot) I don't really want to punish a good doctor. He definitely screwed up here by trusting another doctor's report instead of granting my request for an additional u/s but I am just not the type to sue. I don't know... I just want to let this play out or come to an end... whatever the future holds. No amount of money is going to make it hurt less and it just feels like it's not worth it (added stress, etc.). I just want it to stop hurting and money can't buy me that.

I'm not a sue-happy type either and would do exactly the same thing in your position. But while I did not want to spell this out originally for risk of upsetting you, that was what was in the back of my mind (future medical expenses) You may only have this one chance to get documentation and so if you can snag any copies of anything it may be a good move just in case this does end up costing you guys more than you may be able to afford.

Two, I wouldn't sue, either, but I might think about making a complaint. I'm so sorry that you have to go through this <3.
Taytum, yay for a cute bean!
Has anyone else felt breathless/out of breath in the first trimester? This is by far my most consistent symptom and it took me a while to realize that is what makes me feel so exhausted. It's apparently a progesterone thing (so maybe my levels are actually where they should be for once?) but this is the first time out of 5 pregnancies I'd experienced this and it feels SO strange. Nausea? Now that would be familiar. ;)
TaytumJ
October 10th, 2015, 09:52 AM
I have been short of breath after little things too! I haven't been working out though so I thought that was my problem, but maybe your right! I worry about my progesterone levels so I hope that is good news for both of us!
I've had very minimal nausea, so I'm counting myself lucky!

This limbo is killing me. The tests I posted were from the brand I don't particularly like but was low on my good ICs so I was using the others. They kept going dark, lighter, darker, etc so I switched to my good ones. So far the line is identical but with only 24 hours between that doesn't surprise me. Just want to get my bw results tomorrow. If my hormones are at least 26, 300 then they are doubling w/in 72 hours... if not, well then the ultrasound on Tuesday will simply be a formality. Not looking forward to getting back into the everyday routine BUT it's the price I have to pay for getting my results. All this going on and it's midterm week... SMH. Who could focus with all this going on?!

Thanks ladies. Going to call first thing tomorrow and leave a message asking the nurse to call as soon as she gets in. Unfortunately I have to get up bright and early tomorrow, hours before they open, so it's going to be a LONG wait... Hopefully the nurse decides to come in a bit early tomorrow. Put me out of my misery already. Not holding onto a lot of hope, but I just want to know. 12 1/2 more long hours and counting down...

Doc says I should stop prog... but I am afraid to trust anything at this point. I'm afraid if I stop and the bw was a lab error I could lose my baby because of that... BUT if I stay on it I'm afraid that I'll just be postponing the inevitable. I have an u/s tomorrow but with my current level of distrust I honestly don't know what I'll have to see... or not see to get me to believe 200% that it's over. It's not a factor of denial, but that I've already been told this preg was doomed (and gonna kill me) once and they were wrong. Who's to say they aren't this time?!? Not a fan of being drunk, but I have never wanted to escape reality more than I have this last week... and I can't even drink because I am scared. I am cramping so hard it feels like back-labor and all I can take is Tylenol because I am scared... I f'ing hate this. Sorry, vent over :( Back to my original intent for this post- Does anyone happen to know what impact taking progesterone has on an "inevitable" miscarriage????

I am confused. I read your threads and I am uncertain 1. How an ectopic was diagnosed and 2. Did you OB do a follow up scan after the ER visit? Who diagnosed an ectopic? What gestation were you? I am having a very hard time following all this information.

You aren't the only one a little lost... going to have plenty of questions on my appt on Fri. but doubt I'll see him tomorrow. To answer your questions... as best I can anyway..
I answer to your 1st question- I don't know. That is among the questions I intend to ask on Friday... this is what I DO know:
I went to the ER with severe abdominal pains on my left side. After 6 hours, blood work and an u/s *I* was not allowed to see, I was told I was being admitted for suspected ectopic. The next morning they ran more bloodwork and my HCG went down like 40-something (in hindsight I think this was because of the IV but I don't know). My regular OB came in in the AM during rounds, told me about the bw and said he wasn't optimistic but that we'd get more bw the next morning. Later that day, after I regained my composure I asked the nurse to let my OB know that I'd like a repeat u/s and asked her to stress that I really wanted to see it for myself. An hour or so later the nurse came back in and said that he'd said that it wasn't necessary but that I could have copies of the still screen shots from the first. So the nurse went down to records and got a disk that *I* had nothing to play it on. So she said she'd open the disk on the ward laptop and show me but when she finally got it open there were only 2 pics and neither were of what I needed to see. So I again requested a second ultrasound and was told that I could have the u/s report (which I couldn't really understand. I planned to have my OB explain it to me in the AM when I saw him again. The next morning the pains were soooooo much worse, morphine did nothing more for my pain that a tic tac would have.... Anyway, when my OB came in he told me that my HCG had slightly increased but not nearly enough (from 5,008 on Thursday night to 6,000(I was later, as n after everything was said and done that it was "about 6,000" and told the actual HIGHER #.. but not by much... can't remember what it was) on Saturday morning... according to betabase calculator a doubling time of 115 hours). Given the news and the pain I forgot about the u/s report and stupidly decided to blindly trust my doc. and consented to treatment. 4 days later the pain returned so I went to my OBs office and they did another u/s where the bean was discovered to still be hanging on, small for dates, and no visible hb... but there. Before the u/s, my OB said that they weren't able to find the pregnancy and "barely got any tissue from the D&C" so they had given me methotrexate to try to ensure preg termination because according to him ectopic pregnancies can attach and grow in places they can't always see easily. After the u/s all he could say was that he didn't know what to say, that he was baffled and that this had never happened before, but not to get my hopes up. So he told me to restart taking my vits (I was told to stop taking them as they can interfere with the methotrexate) and progesterone. I had blood work done Saturday and from Tuesday of last week to this past Saturday my HCG only increased by 535.
2. Did you OB do a follow up scan after the ER visit? already answered
Who diagnosed an ectopic? Some random shmo from joe blow town?? I honestly don't know. Among my questions for Friday is finding out if MY OB EVER *SAW* with his own two eyes the images from the first u/s or if he just took some random doctor who reads ultrasounds in the middle of the night for the hospital, whoever that was.
What gestation were you? by ovulation, (determined with OPK's, a follicle study 2 days before O showing TWO ripe mature follicles, and charting) I was 5 weeks exactly the day I went to the ER.

Thanks atomic. I was kinda hoping it wouldn't even delay it, but I guess it is what it is. I am hoping tomorrow's ultrasound shows SOMETHING that I can't deny... I have no clue what that would be but a girl can dream :/

I did. They did laproscopic surgery but "couldn't find the pregnancy". I signed a release/consent for "surgical treatment of ectopic pregnancy" that had multiple procedures listed. They did the lapro surgery, a D&C and later that day, after I got out of recovery, I got two shots, one on each side (hip area), of the methotrexate.

It's no problem... stating facts isn't what hurts... it's the emotion I get when I think of the hell Avery (we named bean) has gone through when he or she may well have been completely viable, and the the mind games that tear my heart apart and make me feel like I aborted my baby.

With a HCG of 2,000, you can see evidence of a pregnancy. At 5,000-6,000, there would be a yolk sac and possible fetal pole.
There is a defined manner for diagnosing an ectopic pregnancy. They would do a D & C to test to see if you have pregnancy tissue in your uterus. It is almost always safer to have your doctor do a D & C to confirm the location of the pregnancy tissue rather than waiting to see what will happen. If there is no evidence of pregnancy tissue in the uterus, then they know you have an ectopic pregnancy and can treat it either using medication or surgery.
With that high of a HCG level, they can't NOT see something that was there in your uterus all along. If they did the laparoscopy, the ectopic would have been seen and they would have confirmed it was there....the pregnancy has to be somewhere that it can grow and produce that much HCG. If it was that high, it would be seen on u/s somewhere- either in the tube or in the uterus.
The D&C is done first to check for pregnancy tissue. If pregnancy tissue is found, you do not have an ectopic.

Seems kinda bass-ackwards to do a D&C to CHECK for an ectopic... *scratching head*
I've read and re-read the report at least a dozen times and the terminology makes me seriously doubt what I *THINK* I'm reading so DON'T take this as gospel but it looks *to me* as if it's saying the preg was ALWAYS inutero because it says there is a sac measuring such and such but then starts taking about my ovary and an ectopic... I really don't know...

A D&C is really just a cavity evaluation. They don't actually have to go in and do anything other than take a tissue sample. If there are measurements present, I am not sure why there was ever a doubt about a uterine pregnancy.
If you had two eggs, it is possible one went in the tube BUT, they would have to 110% verify that it was in the tube before they did anything if a pregnancy was seen in your uterus. The pain could have simply been a cyst, especially after clomid. You can also rarely have an ectopic in your ovary...that would be seen on u/s though.
I don't know. If this all happened, it seems odd that nothing was verified before they just went in. There is a reason we have procedures that are followed, tests that are run. I would have a lot of questions for your doctor.

That would suggest there was a possible ovarian ectopic in the left ovary and a simple fluid filled cyst in the right. There was also a pregnancy in the uterus.

An ovarian mass which appears hypoechoic on ultrasound could be a tumor known as a fibroma. This is a benign, solid growth which can grow quite large, sometimes becoming bigger than a grapefruit. An ovarian fibroma is usually removed surgically and the ovary may be preserved if possible.
Or it was an ectopic pregnancy in your ovary. There had to be tissue of some sort there! There was a mass on your ovary. That's what that report says so you need to know was it an ectopic or is there some sort of mass still there and possibly a tumor.
I get that they thought the sac could have been a pseudo one but if you now have a heartbeat, clearly that was wrong and it was simply too early for anything to be there yet on u/s in regards to fetal pole, etc.
Intrauterine Pregnancy
The first question to ask when evaluating a patient with pain or bleeding in their first trimester of pregnancy is “Is there evidence of a definitive intrauterine pregnancy on ultrasound?” The earliest sign of pregnancy seen with transvaginal ultrasound is the intradecidual sign, an anechoic sac without a distinct chorionic ring. This may be seen as early as four weeks of gestation. However, a thin walled sac within the uterus is not definitive evidence of an intrauterine pregnancy and could also represent a decidual cyst or endometrial breakdown during an ectopic pregnancy (the pseudogestational sac). Definitive sonographic evidence of an intrauterine pregnancy is established when a gestational sac containing a yolk sac is identified in two planes within the endometrium. This occurs around the fifth week of gestation.
So, depending on what gestation you were, it may have been too early to see clear evidence of a viable pregnancy in your uterus and they should have proceeded with great caution.

There should not be a mass of any kind on your ovary. A cyst, any cyst, will appear black on an u/s. A mass is bright white. Any mass should have been seen at your u/s during monitoring when they saw two follicles. So, if there is/was a mass now, that was either the ectopic OR you have developed a mass in this short time that still needs to be explained. Solid masses are not good and need to be diagnosed.

I forget exactly how he put it but he told me last week, before the u/s, that my ovary was like hanging or twisted or something(like a weight turned it upside down is what I envision) and that he tried to fix it but it wouldn't. He said it sometimes happens with a cyst or endometriosis, etc. but he really didn't go any deeper into explanation. Whatever the case, apparently my ovary has at least started to turn back right side because it appeared normal... at least to me, on u/s except for the big white spot that the called the hemmoragic cyst...

Good grief! This saga does not want to come to an end. Ultrasound says bean is growing appropriately now has a fetal pole and a flicker that looked like it could have been a heartbeat but was only 59 beats per minute so she wasn't sure about it. So again more questions but hopefully the outcome will be determined soon. Hoping for good news as always, but bracing for bad as always. But hopefully the outcome will be determined soon.

aww had to crash and say boysboys your little men are absolutely gorgeous and the bfp reveal was lovely :) We have been forced to tell family earlier than we'd like due to my HG on the boys. I keep telling myself when we are lucky enough to get pg it'll be a girl and she won't make me sick lol!

Boysboys, your littles are so cute!! They're pretty close in age to mine. I have a 3.5 year old and an almost 20 month old. :)
11DPO today and I'm already throwing up. :/ I'm not going to complain though because I feel really blessed to be pregnant, especially on our first try. With my previous pregnancies, I never started throwing up until around 6-8 weeks! Early start for sure lol
Anyone finding it weird to not be on the LE diet anymore and not doing the intense exercise? It feels almost unnatural to eat breakfast and snack! LOL

Mine are 3 years 7 months and just turned 20 months Ksmom :) Hope to be joining this train at some stage and have a similar age gap as you between DS2 and DC3 :) Can't wait to be able to snack or just eat what I want, am hoping that when we do get our bfp I won't have HG like I had on my boys!! Just a few weeks of eating whatever I want guilt free would be sooooo lovely lol!

When is your youngest's birthday? My DS2's is Feb. 22nd. :)
I hope you don't get HG either Hopper! Do you have to be hospitalized when you get it?
As much as I fantasized about eating whatever I want whenever I got my BFP, now that I've gotten it I've been feeling too sick and nothing sounds good. Everything I've eaten so far I've thrown up. Maybe I'll get to pig out later on in the pregnancy! lol It's still early though, I might feel well enough tomorrow.

Thank you Bee!
I am not feeling so well. I am having constant nausea and have vomited twice in the past two days :/ only when I wake up. That's really positive thinking. I am overweight my self and I want to do the same too, but I want to indulge in what I can before my full blown morning sickness kicks in. I have read vitamin B6 is great for nausea and safe to take during pregnancy. I already order my 25mg and plan to take it 3 times a day. Hope we all feel better soon. :)

Aww they are rraly close then! DS2s birthday is Feb 11th :) DS1s birthday is Feb 26th, 15 days short of 2 years between them. Yeah have beenl hospitalized a lot with it unfortunately. On DS1 I was hospitalized for 3 nights at 10 weeks and 3 nights at 14 weeks. It lifted around 20 weeks. With DS2 I was hospitalized at 5 weeks for suspected ectopic, ended up being a large cyst on the corpus leuteum (sp?) The sickness started soon after and was in for IV fluids every week til 14 weeks. Some weeks it was just to a few hours and then other weeks it was for several nights at a time.it lifted around 15 weeks though so it was shorter but more severe.
Hope you feel better soon hun and just get to enjoy the first trimester a bit xxx

Awe! Thank you girls!! They are pretty cute ;) they are sweet boys too! The little one is a little fireball compared to my laid back blonde!
I can't believe you're already sick!! I bet it's a pink bean in there! My symptoms aren't too different from my boys. I wasn't sick with either. I have had diarrhea (tmi) a lot this time (anyone else?) all of my twinges and cramps are MOSTLY on the left (right with DS2 I know), and I'm super thirsty this pregnancy! Also, I wake up most mornings sweating which is different.
I have bought 3 precious boy outfits!lol I just think it will be another boy which would be absolutely wonderful. I do have a little motherly intuition that tells me this is a girl but I just can't make myself believe it too much!haha
Yall having different symptoms? What's y'all's gut telling you on gender?

Mommymachine,
I think many women complained to Clear blue that the weeks noted on the test were not the correct dates. In other words they want them to say 4 weeks pregnant if you got a bfp 10 to 14 dpo instead of 2 weeks. I believe the test clearly says it estimated from time of ovulation but I very certain it confused a lot of women.

I'm sorry to hear that:( both my little girls have an awful cough, which is worse at night. My DD1 is in playschool as well so I'm sure that's where it came from. Hope you feel better soon!!
