I posted on this board a few years ago when I had my ectopic pregnancies and i found hope reading other people stories of having successful pregnancies after an ectopic pregnancy. I had hoped to one day have a po...

Re: Anyone had an ectopic treated with methotrexate in both tubes?

Hi Calliepup,

Congratulations on your pregnancy.

I pray that your pregnancy will go smoothly. It is good to know that after two ectopics, it is possible to have a viable pregancy.

Wishing you all the best.

Re: Chances of Ectopic with IVF

Hi Karen,

Thanks for your response.

I am in Canada. My fertility clinic is aware of my history so if the IVF is successful they will be monitoring me closely.

Thanks again.

Chances of Ectopic with IVF

Hi all, I have had two ectopic pregnancies in the past year, one in each tube. Both times, it was successfully treated with Methotrexate so I still have both tubes. I recently did a Sono-HSG and it showed that my right tube appeared blocked but the left seemed open. I was gearing up to start trying ...

Re: Two ectopic pregnancies, what to do next

Hi Susan, Thanks for your response. I am leaning towards trying one more time naturally but just worry about having a third ectopic. Only way to prevent another tubal ectopic would be to remove or tie my tubes and do IVF but that measure seems way too drastic and permanent. I am trying to stay posit...

Two ectopic pregnancies, what to do next

Hello, I had an ectopic pregancy last August in my left tube and had a second ectopic in March in my right tube. Both times were successfully treated with Methotrexate so I still have both tubes. After my first ectopic, I had a Sono-HSG and both tubes were deemed clear. I had an appointment with a f...

Hi everyone, I hope everyone is doing better. Just thought I would give an update. I had my appointment with the fertility specialist last week. It was just a phone conversation. She recommended that I have another Sono HSG done to check my tubes but lamented that this test won't guarantee that anot...

Re: Anyone had an ectopic treated with methotrexate in both tubes?

Hi Lanterns, It really does help to have other people understand what you are going through. No one that I personally know has been through this once let alone twice and apart from my husband I haven't told any of my family or friends. Having the injection can be really heartbreaking. It took me abo...

Hi Lanterns, I am sorry that you are going through this. We have really similar stories and I completely understand how you feel. Like you, I thought my second ectopic was in the same left tube especially since I was having pain on that same side. But that turned out to be a cyst. I was so surprised...

Re: Anyone had an ectopic treated with methotrexate in both tubes?

HI Calliepup and Es27, Glad both of your levels are going down. Hopefully they continue to down. I had my follow up on Wednesday and the hcg level was 5 so they consider the matter resolved and I no longer have to go back. Its very bittersweet as I would have been 10 weeks today but I am thankful th...

Re: Anyone had an ectopic treated with methotrexate in both tubes?

Yeah every case is so different. I just wish I knew what was the cause of my ectopics. Seriously considering IVF but think I want to try one more time first. I will see what the gynocologist recommends at our meeting in May.

Re: Anyone had an ectopic treated with methotrexate in both tubes?

Yeah it is a vicious cycle. If my doctor doesn't recommend the laparoscopy, I probably will too try once more naturally as well. I will also discuss IVF with my doctor and get her opinions. Let me know if you discover any more tests that could be done to check the tubes. Thank you. Good luck on your...

Re: Anyone had an ectopic treated with methotrexate in both tubes?

Glad your levels are dropping Callie. Hope they continue to go down. Hi Esb27. Sorry you are going through a third loss. I hope your levels go down quickly. I am in Canada. After my first ectopic, my fertility clinic recommended a sonohysterosalpingogram. It is similar to an HSG except it uses an ul...

Re: Anyone had an ectopic treated with methotrexate in both tubes?

Hi Callie, Thanks for replying. Fingers crossed that your levels go down. Initially after my first dose, I could tell the levels were not going down as I still had my regular pregnancy symptoms (sore boobs) and had no cramping and very little to no bleeding. After the second dose, I started to bleed...

Re: Anyone had an ectopic treated with methotrexate in both tubes?

Fingers crossed that things work out. I hope your levels start to go down and you don't need surgery. My levels were never that high. It was a little over a 1000 when I was diagnosed at 5 weeks and 5 days. A week after my first methotrexate shot it went up to 1700 so I was given a second dose. A wee...

Re: Anyone had an ectopic treated with methotrexate in both tubes?

Yeah, I also read that after two ectopics, the chance of a next one is 30%.

No, I am in Canada.
