Re: waiting for IVF after EP

Waiting sounds really hard. Have your providers told you how long you should wait so that way you know what to expect? I definitely feel the pressure of my biological clock after 2 ectopics in a way that I don't think I would have otherwise. I've had friends who struggled with miscarriages for a few...

Re: How do people feel after methotrexate? Thank you!

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...
