Re: Tubal patency after expectant management
Dear Sally, I am so sorry to hear of your ectopic pregnancy loss, There is very little research to inform us on damage to tubes following expectant management of methotrexate treatment for ectopic pregnancy.

Re: Methotrexate with hcg 6500
Dear cnh, I am so sorry to hear of your ectopic pregnancy loss, As your hCG levels are rising still, I would advise not to complete any heavy lifting or strenuous exercise.

Re: Hcg levels dramatic response
Dear kenlough, I am so sorry to hear of your ectopic pregnancy loss, It is common for hCG levels to rise on day four as the action of methotrexate treatment is not instantaneous. It may be that your levels were starting to decrease and the methotrexate has sped it up. I'm afraid I cannot say how lon...
