Brown discharge after methrexate

Post by Yvo1977 »

I had ** section scar ectopic pregnancy and treated with methrexatein November,my levels took a few months to come down and now discharged from early pregnancy unit

I’ve had around 4 periods that lasts 7 days then I get brown discharge for a further 7-10 days, has anyone experienced this. I previously mentioned this at the early pregnancy unit but was told not too worry as just old blood. Prior to my ectopic my period would last 5 days at most

Any help appreciated

Dear Yvo,
I am so sorry to hear of your ectopic pregnancy and loss.
Bleeding patterns can change following ectopic pregnancy and some women do find they bleed a little longer. The brown discharge you are describing is usually old blood and some women experience this normally as part of their periods.
Unfortunately I am not medically trained however and if you have concerns or are experiencing bleeding in between periods or after intercourse, please seek medical advice.
Sending much love,
Karen x
