Hi ladies, quick run around. Me and DH had the ultimate surpise late March and found out we were expecting baby number 2. Well on April 1st I was taken to the e.r for extreme abdominal pains. Unfortunately to later find out my pregnancy was ectopic. I was given an mtx shot that day. One week later I was ordered a second shot because my numbers were continuing to rise. A week later from that I was back in the e.r for the same pain. They discovered after a CAT and ultrasound that the ectopic was in my tube. They gave me the option of surgery or to watch my numbers since they were going down anyways. I chose the surgery because I didn't want to take any chances. They ended up removing my left tube as it was defective and even though I still hae a higher chance of a second EP, it woud have been inevitable had I ovulated on my left side again.
Now for my question, I was told no folic acid until my numbers were <5 with the MTX shot. One week(April 20th) after my surgery my numbers went from between 2000-3000 to 42. So the doctor gave me the choice continue the blood work or not and I chose no since my numbers were looking great. I want to start trying after the 3 months are up (which would be the end of june). When should I start back up on the prenatals? They told to wait another week or so. I just want to be safe. TIA
