Infection after ectopic pregnancy- has anyone else experienced this?

Post by Amx »

I was treated with methotrexate for ectopic pregnancy a month ago but have been having ongoing pain even though my hcg levels are now 0.
I have been told that have I have infection in my Fallopian tube which could be caused by the ongoing dissolving mass. I have antibiotics to take.
Just wondering if anyone else had experienced this? Can’t find any info online.

Hi how are you?i knw this kinda late message for what you wrote,mine also i had an ectopic last month and after my hcg level went to 1 somewhat negative already and i took PT toi,even til now im having pain in my body usually on my shoulder blade going down to my hips and tingling down to my legs.ive been visiting diff kind of doctors that they cannot figure out clearly yet of where this pain came from ,it's frustrating causes me more stress too,soon planning to go ER /hospital and wanting they will admit me somehow coz i really want them to diagnose me clearly.
So how abt your pain now is it still going?your antibiotic helps your infection?so what kind of doctor you went?pla let me knw and so i will have an idea next of what doctor im going then?and im new here i usually read some reviews here before when i had my mtx enjection last JUne 3 then just yesterday decided to join.

Hope your doing well now

Hi

I’m still in the same pain I was when I posted. The GP said it was infection and gave antibiotics and did swabs which since came back negative so I am awaiting a scan for further investigation.

Hope you get some answers x

Dear Amx,
I am so sorry to hear of your ectopic pregnancy and loss and your ongoing pain.
It can be quite common to experience pain following treatment for ectopic pregnancy as your body has been through a great deal. The pain may be due your body preparing to ovulate and many women experience ovulation pain when they did not before their ectopic pregnancy - including myself. You also may have a heightened perception because of the sad loss that you have had to go through. Pain however is very subjective and I am glad you have asked for medical review. I hope you get some answers soon.

Sending much love,
Karen x
