Hi All,
New here ... sadly had an ectopic pregnancy confirmed on Thursday after 6 days of worrying, sadness, anger and any other emotions you cant think of I had them!
I got Methotrexate injection on Thursday and I never expected to feel this ill/weak after.. just looking to see how others felt after the injection & any advice?!

Re: Methotrexate
Sorry for your loss.
I had an ectopic 5 weeks ago, had the injection on the monday and by the weekend the pain was too much so got taken to hospital for pain relief.
Felt a little weak, fatiqued after. More emotional at the beginning. Now I'm ok but if i think about it too much or events where i should have been pregnant i get upset.
Had 3 weeks off work. Pain lasted about 3/4 days and bled for a little over 2 weeks. Took the 4 and a bit weeks for hormone level to come down to 0!
Sorry a bit long this message lol. Just take regular pain relief, and relax if you can x

Re: Methotrexate
Thanks for your reply, sorry for you loss.
Im struggling with the pain only using paracetomal for pain relief just now... its so hard the pain the sickness etc on top of already feeling heartbroken.
Just hoping it will all get even a little bit easier for me xx

Re: Methotrexate
Sorry to hear of your ectopic. It's such a horrible thing to have to go through.
I had my injection of metheltraxate on Wednesday.
It's completely wiped it out of me! Can't even pop to the shops without it knocking me for six. Had some horrible pain Thursday and Friday but is starting to ease now though.
I'm just a massage away if you need to chat.
Hope you start to feel better soon. Just rest as much as possible.

Re: Methotrexate
Hey! Yeah its possibly the worst thing ive went through. I am the same if I get out of bed to walk anywhere im straight back in it with pain or exhaustion! Thats good your pain has started to ease. I just have the constant worry and anxiety that my tube will still rupture xx
Re: Methotrexate
Completely get where you're coming from. I managed a trip to the supermarket today but had the consent anxiety that it was going to rupture or I'd start bleeding heavily. Luckily neither happened but I did end up spending the rest of the day on the sofa! Hope you're pain eases up soon. My doc told me it's very common in the first few days and means the medications doing the job. xx
Re: Methotrexate
I had an injection of methotrexate on Friday after I was diagnosed with an ectopic of 6w5d - HCG levels were static at 690.
I haven't really had much pain at all, a tiny bit but nothing that's put me out of action. Does this mean it's not working? I'm terrified of having to have surgery.
The only pain i'm feeling is emotional pain. I don't think i'll ever feel normal again. It was our first pregnancy & we only found out just over a week ago. 3 days later we were told it wasn't viable
