Yes, it is completely normal. I had never felt ovulation before and since my first ectopic I get 2 hours of horrible cramps. Sad to say you get used to it.

I had something similar in September. I went for bloods every 2 days for 3 weeks before they decided to give me methotrexate. At its peak my bloods were 594. They never found mine so definitely a PUL. I had my methotrexate on 1st october and it took 4 weeks for my bloods to be 0. The last time, I bl...

My due date would be Tuesday. We lost 1 to miscarriage in July 18 too. We had an ectopic in march 19 and another october 19. Rather than wait till the due date, we were on holiday and let balloons go for both of them. On Tuesday we will light a candle for all 3 of them and just pray for better luck ...

I totally understand where you are coming from. It took 4 weeks for my levels to go down. It does drag. In regards to work, I took 4 days off after the injection and then worked half days up to half term. Going to see how it goes next week.
Everyone is different but look after yourself x

I was just about to write a similar post. I had methotrexate on 1st October. I only needed the one injection. Started bleeding on day 4. This last Tuesday my levels were down to 22 and the bleeding and cramping has started again! I did read that bleeding can go on for a while? I am hoping to be disc...

I am doing ok thank you. On day 10 now and the bleeding has started again. I had a 2 day bleed on days 5 and 6, before that bleed and this one I had what can only be described as contractions. They come and go. Bloods on day 7 were down to 150, so clearly going in the right direction, having another...

Hi, thank you for your comments. I called the unit and they saw me. All is fine at the moment. Am back in tomorrow for my day 4 bloods.
No sign of a rupture which is good news.
Thanks for the advice.

So I am on my 2nd ectopic in 7 months. Last time was expectant management as my blood levels were so low. This time I was given methotrexate. I had my injection on Tuesday and this morning woke up in agony. Not sure if it's because I am constipated or that i am in extreme danger. I know I cant have ...

It was just a blip. Levels down to 27 so more than half after 48 hours. I have to take a hpt next Friday and if negative I am discharged. Feel like a bit of a fraud as so many people have suffered so much longer and have had more procedures etc. I think the main issue for me now is that I was more i...

Thank you so much for replying. And I am thinking about pink elephants. I have sat at home all day feeling miserable and haven't eaten much which isn't helping. I am having an evening of Netflix and have put the shoulder pain down to me trying to see the scan images yesterday. 7 weeks sounds horrend...

They took bloods yesterday and hcg was 75 so I have been sent home for watch and wait. I am due back tomorrow for bloods, but now I know I am experiencing sho...
