Period after ectopic

I had a ectopic last month which was treated with one dose of methotrexate. The 16th august my levels were at a non pregnant level, I haven’t had a sign of a period yet and I’m worried, should it be anytime now?

Re: Injection- how you felt afterwards

Exactly the same as me!

I was told 6 months by a nurse in the hospital, another told me just to not try for a month or two, another said ‘a while’ and all info online says 12 weeks after starting folic acid. That’s what I’m going with personally

Re: Injection- how you felt afterwards

I felt really sick the first day, and sooo tired for a few days. I had some pain and heavy bleeding but most stopped after a week

Re: What were your HCG levels after Methotrexate?

Oh bless you, that’s such a long time to be having blood tests. I was very lucky and at 8 weeks my levels only raised to 167 which is very low, they went to 6 within 7 days. Hopefully you won’t have much longer xx

Im now lost, I did ask about if I need to take any vitamins and all she said is don’t try for a while. Im so c...

Re: Back pain

Oh god I hope your ok! I would get it checked if in doubt especially with the mass staying the same size. Thankfully my first injection was all I needed and I’m down to a hcg of 6 today

Re: Back pain

Hi I hope your doing ok! I had my first injection last Monday which is luckily working so far and especially in the first 5 days I had bad cramps/ back pain and some heavy bleeding.

Alcohol and methotrexate

Writing this seems so ridiculous but I had my first dose of methotrexate Monday, after having a absolute nightmare of 3 weeks back and forth not knowing what’s going on with my pregnancy it was finally diagnosed as a ectopic. I have a festival booked for Saturday that’s been booked for months and I ...
