Hi Chelsie!
i was on mtx for almost two years. I started out using the pill form....it did not agree with my stomach, after three months of vomittng i switched to injections...oh so much better. I found the mtx worked well after my body became accustomed to it...for me the pain level went down within a month but i was very sick and tired for almost 6 months. But then my quality of life improved big time! I was able to return to work full time...woo hoo!..... Speaking of babies! I was really worried about becoming pregnant while on mtx i was on the pill and used condoms because i was afraid of getting pregnant. My rheumy laughed at me and told me that recently they did a study in france on mtx and pregnancy and if you stopped using within three months it was unlikely to have side effects(i didn't research myself just took his word!) I stopped taking mtx about 9 months ago because my partner and i decided to try getting pregnant...we are still praticing! Anyway i did like my life on mtx, i hope it works for you SOON
