Thank you to BM, Stephanie and Michele. Your words have helped. I’ve just been feeling like I really should be over this and move on. Perhaps I’m not ready yet. Just keeping going I think at the moment and hope it will get better. Yesterday was a very low day for me and you guys have helped so thank...

Hi I’m not sure if I’m posting in the right group or not so apologies if this is in the wrong place. I was discharged a few weeks ago from having an ectopic pregnancy treated by methotrexate. Whilst I’m grateful that the worry of my Fallopian tube potentially bursting is now over and the pain in my ...

Hi I thought I would update this thread just in case anyone reads this later and will find comfort in this. I went for a blood test this morning and my HCG level is below 5. Yippee! This means I am now discharged. I’m hoping that my tiredness levels will now be reduced by the fact that I am not stre...

Hi Michim I’m no medic and am currently going through an ectopic. So the below is just my experience and what I’d do. At 4 weeks I did not know it was an ectopic. If I remember correctly I was having bleeding and a bit of cramping (I thought it was a bit of an unusual period/implantation bleeding at...

Hi Steffi My levels have significantly dropped today. I now have an HCG level of 15. I have to go back in a week as they will not discharge me yet but it is looking more promising than it did a week ago. How are yours doing? Thanks Tigletty for your response and I’m sorry you had to have another dos...

Hi Karen thanks for your response it is really helpful. Steffi you are definitely not alone on this. In terms of an update I have to go back for another blood test in a week and then it will depend upon that result as to what happens next. I like you really do not want another dose of Methotrexate i...

Hi Steffi I thought I would say I’m in a similar situation to you. My HCG level was at 200 (so not that high) and I was given Methotrexate. A week later it was 140. A week after that it went to 110. I received my latest blood test results today and my HCG level is now 100. The nurse who gave my resu...
