Hi everyone, On September 15, I was diagnosed with an Ectopic Pregnancy. This was after my 7-week scan (September 9) showed a small gestational sac in my uterus. I had very normal pregnancy symptoms leading up to my 7-week scan - no bleeding or pain. However, on September 10 my HCG came back as 6526...

Dear Gracia, Yes, it is normal to have menstrual cramping and bleeding after methotrexate. The doctors informed me that this should not be termed as a period, but as uterine lining shedding after the body had been preparing for pregnancy. After the first dose of methotrexate (25 mg), I had light spo...

So sorry that you are having bad side effects. I’m also on methotrexate now (2 doses). I have had menstrual cramps for four days now and a medium period, started a day after receiving the second dose. I do have diarrhea, but not too bad. I think that is due to my body being depleted of folate. I als...

Dear Karen, Thank you for your thoughtful reply. Yes, I’m in the United States, but we don’t have a forum like this one. I went to university in London. My HCG level dropped to 5100 (from 8951) within a week, and my doctor told me my body is responding very well to the methotrexate (two doses). I’m ...

Thank you for creating this forum- very helpful. I became pregnant for the first time at 44.
