Re: What were your HCG levels after Methotrexate?
Hi all. Here's an update from me... My HCG came down very quickly after having MTX and I've now been discharged. I'm very thankful that for me it's been a smooth process that was resolved fairly quickly without complications or me ever feeling in pain or unwell. I try not to dwell on things too much...

Re: What were your HCG levels after Methotrexate?
Gosh! It's lucky you went in when you did as it could have been a lot worse. How bad was the pain before surgery? I sometimes get cramping in right pelvis and wonder 'am I rupturing???' but it's a dull pain that always seems to go away on its own. I've been working and going out on walks so I figure...

Did anyone have risk factors, PCOS?
Hi all. I'm interested to hear if anyone had any of the risk factors for ectopic? I'm generally fit and healthy, don't smoke, no medical history, never taken medication apart from the pill. I came off the combined pill 8 months prior, my periods never regulated in that time (very long cycles ~65 day...

Re: Good news story
Thank you for sharing your story ❤️. I'm so glad you managed to have 2 beautiful babies despite all the pain and troubles along the way. You've shown there is hope! I'm currently waiting for HCG levels to drop to 0 after MTX treatment, and we hope to try again in 3 months or so. I know we'll be very...

Re: Injection- how you felt afterwards
Hi all. I've just had may MTX Day 7 HCG results back which has shown a nice decline (504 to 239, -52%). Yay! I started feeling a bit dizzy on Day 4 and have been a bit headachy since Day 4, very mild tummy cramping but nothing much. I haven't had any pains to complain about so generally all good. Pe...

Re: What were your HCG levels after Methotrexate?
Really sorry to hear that Bookworm. I went in for my Day 4 MTX today and am nervously waiting the results, although have been told that an increase is very common and not to panic if it has gone up.. May I ask if your surgery was an emergency rupture, or planned? How are you now? The waiting and unk...

Re: Injection- how you felt afterwards
Hi all. I've just joined after being diagnosed with my first ectopic last week (11th August), around Week 6 of my first pregnancy. Although the diagnosis of ectopic was a shock, I'd suspected a miscarriage and therefore was ready for a bad outcome to be honest as I'd been having persistent bleeding ...
