Methotrexate Shot ???

Methotrexate Shot ???

I have a good friend who just had a Methotrexate shot for a tubal pregnancy.
How long should she wait before trying to get pregnant?
We have heard 3 months is long enough. We have talked to others that say to wait at least 6 months, because some babys are being born with birth defects after the mother had a methotrexate shot!
Can anyone help???

I have been trying to find out the same info. I had injection of methotrexate about two weeks ago Jan. 29, 2010. I have never went through anything like this. The Ultrasound couldn't find anything anywhere! I agreed with the injection because dr said it wouldn't become a normal pregnancy because my hcg level was about 3000 and something should have been seen by then. I am scared altogether but i am wanting to give my 7 year old son a little brother or sister. Any help would be appreciated...Thanks.
