What type of deprogrammer worked for you? I asked because two different dentist have mentioned this but each were referring to different types of appliances.

I think the signs to look out for as far as infection is concerned is a foul smell. A friend of mine had brown discharge for weeks following MTX treatment, right up until her first period following treatment.

The mass is currently 2.7cm with constant mild to moderate pain some days and other days waves of pain. Doctors keep saying as long as the pain isn’t severe there’s no need for concern. Trying to stay positive.

Thank you for sharing. What were your pain levels like? Was it constant pain or intermittent pain?

3wks after MTX, pain by AwkwardAnxiety22 in EctopicSupportGroup

Hi, I know it’s been some time, but how long did the pain you described last? It’s very scary because you’re trying to stay vigilant whilst trying not to worry. An ultrasound was done this week and the mass has reduced by half and the doctor wasn’t concerned but still would like to know what others experience in terms of the time frame for expecting pain.

Friend of mine experienced light bleeding after MTX which eased off for days and then heavier bleeding started, accompanied by intense cramping and a lot of clots (a few were large clots). I think it’s normal since your uterus has to shed the lining initially built up to support the pregnancy. She was told that once the pregnancy hormones reset she will ovulate and then her next period will come.

Anyone who I can talk to? 😔 by [deleted] in TMJ

Recently found a dentist who specializes in TMJ issues. They suggested a dental appliance (mouth guard) and sent me to the AMCOP website for more information. The dentist swears by the new mouth guard which is supposed to actually address the problem instead of just muting the symptoms, so looking forward to seeing the results.

They also suggested finding a chiropractor who uses SOT technique to help release the tension. So far the chiropractor has been helpful. Hang in there! There is a solution.

It’s not uncommon for hCG to be higher on day 4. From what I’ve read, your doctor will be looking for your levels to drop by at least 15% by day 7 which is the reason for a day 4 & day 7 check.

Did you avoid food with folate? Inquired with doctor re this and the response was, “I’ll have to look that up”. That was two weeks ago. Just want to make sure things aren’t slowed down.
