Sharing Some Hopeful News for Others
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...

Re: Symptoms of methotrexate
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...

Re: Symptoms of methotrexate
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...

Re: Ectopic Pregnancy of Unknown Location
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 ...

Everything was always normal for me- no history of any pelvic inflammatory disease, no STDs, never used IUDs, and no smoking- very healthy. My AMH, LH, and FSH were excellent for my age- high above average. ...
