Period after ectopic

Post by kayleigh1994 »

I had a ectopic last month which was treated with one dose of methotrexate. The 16th august my levels were at a non pregnant level, I haven’t had a sign of a period yet and I’m worried, should it be anytime now?

Dear Kayleigh,
I am so sorry to hear of your ectopic pregnancy and loss,
Our periods can take a while to re-establish and they can re-start once hCG levels have fallen below about 100mIU/mL and most women find that their period arrives some time in the four weeks after their hCG levels have fallen to 0 if treated with Methotrexate, this is however an average and some can take a little longer. I should suspect it won't be long now, but if you are concerned, please speak to your GP.

Sending much love,
Karen x
