Methotrexate FAQ

Can you drink alchol while on methotrexate?

i have had two ectopics in a row. I have been trying t get pregnant for 5 years.1st time my left tube erupted and now I have been diagnosed with an ectopic on the right. I have just under gone a d and c and two shots of methotrexate. I hurt really bad and wonder how long the cramping will be going on for. it really seems like my family doesnt understand the pain and loss of not having children and continuing to have miscarriages. and now only having 1 working side I am so scared that if I get pregnant again I may have to go through this all over again. I also have pcos. and have a hard time getting pregnant. I feel like a failure. I cant give my husband children.

I found out last wk I was having an ectopic pregnancy and I had to get two methotrexate shots and I started looking up the causes and I always see damaged tubes being the cause? I had an HSG scan in 2006 which showed I had nothing wrong with my tubes ect. Can you have an ectopic for other reasons besides the damaged tubes? This is really confusing...Have any of you ladies had an ectopic with normal tubes???? :)

On Thursday I found out I was having an ectopic pregnancy...my hcg levels werent going up that much and I was bleeding ect. I had to get two methotrexate shots to help with the miscarriage process. Well my dr. wants me to wait atleast 3 months before trying again and wants me to go on birth control pills those 3 months so I agreed, but now I dnt want to take the birth control pills because last time it took forever to have reg. periods and messed my cycles up so my question is...how do I tell my dr. I dnt wanna be on the pill? I dnt want to go against her orders, but I feel like its going to mess me up ttc. This is my 3rd loss and I feel like 3 months is so long Id rather wait to get one reg period and then try again, but I dnt want her to get frustrated with me you know what I mean? Help! :]
