Waiting sounds really hard. Have your providers told you how long you should wait so that way you know what to expect?

Good luck I hope it works. There is a list of side effects here: https://ectopic.org.uk/patients/treatment/ I just received my second methotrexate injection yesterday. This is my second ectopic after a salpingostomy this spring. After reading multiple forums, it seems like everyone varies in their r...
