Hi Orangery21, So sorry to enter that you are going through this, really pleased that you are feeling ok mentally. I had an ectopic pregnancy back in December and was treated with methotrexate, the 1 injection that I had worked and I was discharged when my hcg level was under 10 in mid January, I th...

I’m so sorry, you have really been through it! It’s really reassuring to hear that you had a successful pregnancy afterwards. It’s also good to know that you had the pains early on with your successful pregnancy. I called my local EPU to check if they were offering early scans and they said that the...

I’m feeling anxious about it but less so than I was before being able to be proactive in trying again.. I’ve just had my first ovulation and therefore ‘try’ a handful of days ago so I need to wait for a few weeks to see. I have felt quite strong twinges, and aches on my right hand side the past few ...

Hi Lmy19, Really sorry that you’ve been going through this. You can take folic acid tablets once you’re discharged and your hcg level is low enough, for me mine was 50 when I was discharged and I started taking folic acid 2 days after this. I would imagine after surgery your levels would be low enou...

Hi Fertility-Tales,
We have decided to try again too now, this will be the first month. It feels good to have made the decision and not be in limbo anymore and onto the next part of our journey. Keep us in the loop and I will do the same too.
Good luck
X

Hi Fertility-Tales, I had an ectopic pregnancy (my first pregnancy) which was treated by methotrexate in December 2019. This month ends my 3 months from being discharged and taking folic acid daily, so I could try and conceive now. We have personally decided to wait for a month or 2 to see what happ...

Hi Danielle, It’s a really daunting and scary time I know but try not to panic and worry too much, the fact that your hcg levels are low will hopefully mean it won’t take you too long to get down to being at a level where you are discharged, I was over 3000 hcg and just over 7 weeks pregnant when I ...

Hi Alza0303, I don’t mind at all! I was discharged a month after having an injection of methotrexate, I was fortunate in that I didn’t seem to have a lot of side effects, although I did rest up a lot until I was discharged, it was over Christmas and I didn’t do an awful lot until I was discharged as...

Hi Karen, Thank you very much for your response. I suddenly thought after I posted that it could be pre ovulation pain, and it would coincide with the correct timings for it so I think this is likely the case. I will keep an eye out and note any further pains. Do you mind me asking what happened whe...

Hi all, I just wondered if anyone had experienced similar to me. I was discharged mid January after having methotrexate treatment for an ectopic pregnancy, and I haven’t done exercise properly since. Today I went for an hour long fast walk, and around 40 minutes in I had a bit of pelvic aching. I co...

Hi, thank you for your message, I've been reading lots of the messages on here and having a realtime reply knowing someone else is having the same thoughts at the same time is comforting during a fairly lonely time. Have you had your 3 month wait after being treated? I am looking forward to being di...

Hi all, I have recently had an ectopic pregnancy, I was 7 weeks 2 days when I had the methotrexate injection. I was lucky that I caught it, after having an early scan and blood tests when I had been spotting for a week with tenderness and a dull pain. It is now 3 weeks after the injection, and it ha...
