Dear LTQKVS, I am sorry I cannot provide a personalised answer for this as I was treated with methotrexate. Although I do not wish to upset you, I am guessing if you have been told its tissue, It is not going to look like a foetus and it is extremely unlikely that you would be able to see a heart. W...

Dear LTQKVS, Unfortunately we are unable to give personalised medical advice, however as you have had surgery, I would ensure your Dr has thought of reasons such a anaemia (low blood count level) which can also make you dizzy and have low blood pressure.

Dear ihm1, I am so sorry to hear of your ectopic pregnancy loss, Yes, this can be very normal for your first period. The first period following ectopic pregnancy may be more painful or less so than usual, heavier or lighter, last for longer or shorter than usual – there really is no set pattern. You...

Dear LTQKVS, I am so sorry to hear of your ectopic pregnancy loss and the worrying time you are going through. I completely understand the frustration and just wanting to get/feel better but think your surgeon saying 2 weeks recovery, is probably a little optimistic. Some people may recover quickly ...

Dear LTQKVS, I am so sorry to hear of your ectopic pregnancy loss, This is a slightly difficult question to answer as we do not have access to your medical and scan results. I would assume that the foetus stopped growing and so your blood hCG levels started to decline. This would not mean that the f...

Dear Anna, I am so sorry to hear of your ectopic pregnancy loss, It is likely to depend upon how high your hCG levels were. Once the beta hCG levels (pregnancy hormones) in your body have dropped, the chemical signals to retain the thickened uterine lining that has built up in early pregnancy, are n...

Dear Charltonboo, I am so sorry to hear of the worrying time you are going through. The problem with ectopic pregnancy is that although bleeding and pain can be signs, everyone will experience them differently. Some people will bleed very heavily, or just spot, or it may look like a brown loss (a bi...

Dear Emerald, I am so sorry to hear of your ectopic pregnancy loss, Whilst there are risk factors such as PID, increasing maternal age and smoking to name a few, one third of people who experience ectopic pregnancy will have absolutely no risk factors.

Dear Ayesha, I am so sorry to hear of your ectopic pregnancy loss, We do hear from women who have an odd spike in hCG levels or levels that plateau for a while before settling with expectant management and medical management with methotrexate.
