Pain in left pelvis where EP is, 5 days after methotrexate?
Worried as i have pain in my pelvis on the side the EP is. Had the methotrexate injection 5 days ago. Im absolutely terrified of a rupture and my current HCG is 109. Do we think this is normal and what could these pains be?

Re: Pain in left pelvis where EP is, 5 days after methotrexa
Dear Tickitaylor94,
I am so sorry to hear of your ectopic pregnancy and loss,
Abdominal (tummy) pain is the most common side effect of methotrexate and it usually occurs during the first 2 to 3 days of treatment. Whilst I do not wish to alarm you, because abdominal pain is also a sign of a ruptured ectopic pregnancy, we always advise that you report any abdominal pain to your health professional. Your local EPU should have given you contact details but if you are unsure you could always speak to your GP, or out of hours provider which is usually 111 in the UK. If the pain is concerning and you cannot speak to anyone, we would advise that you attend your local A&E.
Sending much love,
