something positive

Desmo35

My levels were 1450 on Thursday when they gave me the methotrexate shot. Yesterday the took my beta and I'm already down to 50! I'm so relieved that I don't need surgery or another shot! I'm supposed to go in Friday to see if I'm back to zero and then call my RE with my next cycle, but we're taking time off. We are saving up for an IVF shared program. Meanwhile, we are headed off to San Juan and then going on a cruise to St. Kitts,  Thomas, Lucia, Maarten, and Barbados in 2 weeks! This will help us get our minds off of all of this .

Congrats! I'm sorry for your loss but I'm sure getting your body back to normal helps. We find out my betas tomorrow. I got the shot last Wednesday. I hope my results are as positive as yours. I hate the waiting!!

Did you have any indicators that it was working?

None. My bleeding actually stopped when I was expecting it to get worse. I kept waiting to pass something and nothing happened. I know that the shot made me very tired and my back was cramping. So I guess I just felt more like me when they took my beta on Monday. No cramps, energy was back, some of the bloating was gone. I was also constipated (tmi) with the shot so I took some over the counter miralax which helped as well.

Once I hit the 50 mark, she said I could go back to working out, have a beverage, etc. DH thinks that is a "free for all" and has already tried to dtd, but I'm not cleared to start trying just yet! I'm not ready to anyhow. Partially because I don't want to go through this again and secondly I'm still spotting and I want to wait until I hit 0.

 FX that your betas drop quickly!
