Dear Abbie,
I am so sorry to hear of your ectopic pregnancy and loss,
As Imogen has mentioned it is normal for hCG to rise in the day 4 bloods following Methotrexate as the action of the drug is not instantaneous. They will be looking for a reduction in your next bloods.
We would advise not to do any heavy lifting or strenuous exercise during this time. Try to rest as much as you can and I hope you have a more positive blood test result in a few days time.
Sending much love and warm hugs,
Karen x
