Hi guys ❤️ Trying to get some opinions and perspectives because I can’t tell if I’m living in fear or if I’m justified here.

Long story short - I was treated with one dose of MTX on 3/6 for a PUL, we never found it or saw any signs of it anywhere other than a likely psuedosac in my uterus. I have one living child, and this was my second pregnancy. My HCG was 2800 on injection day and was 57 by day 7. Monday will be 4 months from the injection and I just took an ovulation test and it’s positive, and my ring predicts ovulation for tomorrow.

I got my hormones checked a couple of months ago and my folate has returned to normal, and I am supposed to do an HSG after my next period. I guess I am just trying to decide if I should go for it and try this cycle or if I should wait for my HSG. I’ve talked with a couple of my friends and they think I should just go for it, but they haven’t been through this before and I just want some other perspectives from people who have. I’m fighting with my gut so hard because my gut tells me if I do try I’m going to be terrified until we can confirm placement (to be fair I would be terrified even after an HSG anyway), but on the other hand what if this cycle everything turned out fine…

I think I know deep down the answer is to just wait simply for peace of mind, but I just wanted to talk through it with other people who have gone through this too. If you had a PUL, did you get an HSG and find that a tube was blocked? Thank you for reading this far ❤️

Hi guys, I got MTX in March for a PUL / presumed ectopic. At the appt where I got the MTX, my OB said I needed to be put on birth control ( I declined and have just not had sex at all because I’m horrified 😅) because I could absolutely NOT conceive prior to 6 months post MTX because the baby would have spina bifida, neural tube defects etc. That was shocking to me because almost everyone else I’ve seen on this page has said their doc recommended 3 months, some even saying there’s told them no wait was necessary.

I guess my question is - how long were you told to wait? My experience with this OB throughout the course of the ectopic was not great. I truly don’t think he is very educated on them (which means I did not get very much education from him) and he never even considered the possibility of ectopic despite all of the signs pointing to it, and dismissed me every time I even said the words “ectopic” or “PUL”. I guess I’m trying to figure out if I should try to go see a different OB and discuss things with them and get their opinion. I was also told that there was no reason for an HSG because I’ve had a successful pregnancy prior and it’s “easy for me to get pregnant”.

Is the only concern with getting pregnant after MTX the folate depletion, or are there other contributors? If I got a hormone panel to check everything including folate and it’s normal, would that mean I’m fine?

To be clear - I’m not ready to TTC yet, my cycle is still extremely messed up which leads me to believe my body is not healed yet. I definitely won’t be trying prior to 3 months post MTX and definitely not before I discuss things with my OB or a new one, get hormones checked, potential HSG etc., but I just wanted to get some others opinions and hear what their doctors told them and that extra push to maybe switch OBs.

Thank you guys ❤️

Hi guys! We upgraded from a 2023 Rav 4 hybrid to a 2026 Grand Highlander Hybrid 2 weeks ago, and I immediately noticed that there isn’t a “humming” sound when reversing, or driving slowly like our Rav hybrid very obviously did. Does your hybrid have that sonar sound? Trying to figure out if this is normal for the GHH or if it may be an issue with mine?
