TTC After a Loss

Methotrexate shot question

If you had an ectopic and was given the shot. Did you feel good enough to work? I got the shot yesterday and today I feel pretty crappy, I don' t know if it gets worse and if I should stay home or try to bear it out. No one really knows excpet my boss but I don't want to feel too sick there since my drive home is about 45 minutes. TIA

Re: Methotrexate shot question

  • I felt really really tired & only the 1st day I was queasy - I also did not have heavy bleeding from it - I spotted for about 18 days after the shot. My numbers at their highest were 235 and it took 2 weeks to get to 0.

    I hope this helps and I am so sorry for your loss.

  • I am so sorry this happened. 

    The MTX shot hit me VERY hard the day after (vomitting, pain, fainting, etc.).  It was manageable after that, although I had a lot of cramping and pain.   The beginning was definitely the worst for me.

    Best of luck to you.  Please post with any other questions.  I hope you heal quickly.
