I had my first dose of methotrexate sunday morning my bloods were 3374 and today on day 4 they are 6640. They are going to see me Saturday on day 7 for more bloods. I'm so anxious as to why they've jumped up so much is this normal? This is my third ectopic but I've never had methotrexate before, so far no symptoms.
Thank you all for this forum, its been so helpful xx
Mine also doubled by day 4, but dropped by 20% at day 7. My doctor said this is normal as the cells can divide rapidly following the methotrexate. She described it as a last ditch panic, which made me feel really sad and guilty, but it is totally normal so try not to worry xx
Sorry my fiancee just told me I got this wrong in that the cells don't divide more, but create more HCG as they disappear! Clearly my anxiety took over my listening!!
Shell, hope you’re okay, sorry slightly off topic from your initial question but has anyone ever been able to advise you why you are having repeated ectopics? This is something I’m concerned about myself. Are some people more susceptible to it happening again? ( i know there’s a 10% chance of it) xx
Unfortunately they always tell me its bad luck. Which I cant quite believe. My left tube was clear last time I checked so my only guess is the hairs (cilia) in my tube don't work and maybe that's why this 3rd one has happened.
My second was unknown location but they suspected it was in my right ovary

is this normal? This is my third ectopic but I've never had methotrexate before, so far no symptoms.
