Pregnancy Info HOME

Hi everyone. I had metho injection on 6/16 after they diagnosed an incomplete miscarriage. I miscarried within 2 days of the injection, and had some bleeding thereafter. I then had a period in July and again in August, exactly 28 days apart. My doc said we can try for a baby again two weeks after the August period. This would have been close to 2.5 months after the injection. I got pregnant right the way and have an ultrasound tomorrow. I am a bit worried both about another miscarriage and problems with the fetus, but hope for the best. The doctors say all different things, but I've done a ton of reading and it is recommended in most articles that the woman wait one cycle after the injection to get pregnant again. I think most of this scary talk about the fetal damage really applies to people who take methotrexate long-term for other conditions (like cancer) and not to women who just had one shot. If you're on metho for a while, then you should wait 6 months to get pregnant, but if you had one shot only then I think one to two cycles should be enough.
