New member-Hematoma after methotrexate
Has this happened to anyone? I can barely find any information past the methotrexate shot or removal of the tube.

Re: New member-Hematoma after methotrexate
I am so sorry to hear of your ectopic pregnancy and loss,
Sadly I am not medically trained so cannot give you specific advice on your symptoms.
I am not aware of a clot/haematoma on the outside of your tube being a common side effect from the methotrexate injection.
We can experience a mass within the tube and the reabsorption can take weeks and sometimes months to be complete. I am afraid it can be difficult to be precise because our bodies are all unique and we respond differently physiologically with what is happening. In some instances, the fallopian tube may remain blocked by the pregnancy tissue which can take some time to shrink and, occasionally, it may not shrink and will leave a blockage in the tube by way of a small cyst. However, the use of Methotrexate does not reduce the chances of successful future pregnancy, whatever the outcome in the affected fallopian tube.
I am not sure how long it will take for a haematoma outside your tube to settle. It is good that you are being monitored and I would suggest talking to your medical team if the pain continues or you are concerned.
Sending much love,

Sorry to read your side of loss. I know its been a while now but currently I am in the same boat. Can you help me to understand what treatment you got to take out the 7cm thing? Or did it resolve by its own. For me it's in the tube and increased from 1.8cm to 4cm and doctors saying it's just the blood in the tube, but I got very severe pain after three weeks of getting methotrexate injection on 27th January and on same that day with the help of ultrasound doctors figure it out there is something in the tube and it's Size is 4cm.
