Ectopic pregnancy, MTX day 3 - looking for experiences and success stories
Hello,
I’m around 7 weeks and a few days from my last menstrual period and have been diagnosed with a tubal ectopic pregnancy.
My initial beta-hCG was around 800–900. I received a single intramuscular dose of methotrexate and I’m currently hospitalized for monitoring. I’m now on day 3 after the injection and, so far, I have no pain, no vaginal bleeding, and no significant side effects.
My beta-hCG will be checked again on day 4 and then on day 7.
For those who have been through this:
– Is it normal to feel nothing in the first 2–3 days after the injection?
– When did bleeding start for you?
– Did you experience mild cramps or more intense pain?
– How much did your beta drop between day 4 and day 7?
– Did it resolve with a single dose?
– Have there been cases where the ectopic pregnancy fully resolved/reabsorbed successfully with methotrexate?
Thank you.
