Periods and hcg
Periods and hcg
On last February, finally I have my 1st period since diagnosing on my molar pregnancy. I'd used a lot of PT and the result is not constant sometime look like a positive with very faint 2nd line and sometime look likes negative with have evaporation 2nd line. Decided to have a blood test again and resulting of 41.70mIU. I am confuse why I still have a higher hcg after my 1st period ?? Is this normal ? Do I need another treatment or just wait for a little bit of time ?

Re: Periods and hcg
I'm so sorry to hear that you are experiencing an ectopic pregnancy. It can be a confusing time, and while I'm not medically qualified to comment on your specific situation, I will do my best to help.
Everyone is different in how they respond to methotrexate and how long it takes for the HCG levels to come down. You can read a bit more on the Trust's website about the treatment with methotrexate: http://www.ectopic.org.uk/patients/treatment/. As you are having concerns, I would recommend following up with your GP. You may consider keeping a diary of what you are experiencing and list of questions to take along with you.
Please know this is a safe space for your thoughts and concerns, and we are here for you for as long as you need.
With good wishes,
Michele
