When we experience ectopic pregnancy we are suddenly faced with a life threatening emergency and it's treatment, concerns about the future, reduction in fertility and the loss of our babies. Experiencing any one of these is an ordea...

Dear em, Whispered congratulations on your pregnancy, After an ectopic pregnancy, finding we are pregnant again can be a mix of emotions and I can completely understand your feeling nervous. It is perfectly normal to feel scared after the ordeal you have endured. I also felt twinges and aches after ...

Dear Terri, I am so sorry to hear of your ectopic pregnancy loss, We hear from many women who struggle with news about pregnancy from their friends and families. This is very normal and I was the same after my loss. When I had my ectopic pregnancy I had to attend a family function and a close family...

Dear buckley, I am so sorry to hear of your ectopic pregnancy loss, Unfortunately we are unable to provide personalised medical advice. I have however added NHS information on PCOS and infrequent or no periods can be a symptom. https://www.nhs.uk/conditions/polycystic-ovary-syndrome-pcos/ Not having...

Dear Enfys, I am so sorry to hear of your ectopic pregnancy loss, You are not alone in feeling this way, we hear from many people (and I include myself in this) who say they feel their ectopic pregnancy and treatment was very medicalised and there was little reference to their baby loss. I am so sor...

Dear rs, I am so sorry to hear of your ectopic pregnancy loss, I would say that abdominal pains are normal post ectopic pregnancy, chest of shoulder pains can be normal after surgery but as you have not had surgery, I would get these pains checked out by a medical professional just to be on the safe...

Dear Rbev, I am so sorry to hear of your ectopic pregnancy loss, Your menstrual periods after an ectopic pregnancy can take a while to re-establish. Periods can restart any time between four and ten weeks after treatment. Most find that their first period arrives sometime around week six or seven af...

Hi Hannah, I'm afraid I don't. Folic acid can interfere with the absorption of methotrexate, which is why it is stopped during treatment with methotrexate as we want the methotrexate to work as best as it can. Methotrexate however is a folate antagonist which means it reduces how well folic acid wor...

Dear Mariaidris, I am so sorry to hear of your ectopic pregnancy loss, You are still in the early days of your Recovery and pain is quite common following surgery. Your tummy can also feel swollen and painful and again this can be normal. We would advise to use the painkillers you have been given pe...

Dear Hannah, Some hospitals do have their own regulations, but as far as the Trust is aware on evidence available, It makes no difference whether you have had one or 2 doses of methotrexate. You wait until your hCG levels have fallen to pre pregnancy levels and then take folic acid supplements for 1...

Dear Rach, I am so sorry to hear of your ectopic pregnancy loss, Your blood hCG levels are more accurate than urine pregnancy tests, so when they are down to pre pregnancy levels, you won't need to do a urine test. It is not normal practice in the UK to have a scan following methotrexate treatment. ...

Dear powerthroughagain, I am so sorry to hear of your ectopic pregnancy loss, If your levels are still positive, I would suggest contacting your medical team. I am sorry that I cannot provide individualized medical advice and the decision on 'what next' would ultimately depend upon how high your lev...

Dear buckly, I am so sorry to hear of your ectopic pregnancy loss. I cannot agree with Enfys more, at the time of surgery, you can have so much to think about in an emergency situation. You really aren't given the time to consider all of your options. From the bottom of my heart, you have done nothi...

Dear Persephone, I am so sorry to hear of your ectopic pregnancy loss, It is normal to feel anxious about the future. We experience a mix of emotions from wanting to try again to being petrified of what may lie ahead. We never forget our experience or babies, but we can learn to accept what happened...

Dear dannimary, I am so sorry to hear of your ectopic pregnancy loss. As you had surgery surgery, you are absolutely fine to start folic acid now, but as you say, take it for 12weeks before trying to conceive. I think that as your hCG has just reached pre pregnancy levels, this bleed is due to your ...
