Hi Piggycz,
I am so sorry to hear of your ectopic pregnancy and loss. Our early pregnancy losses can leave us with many questions and is good that you are receiving medical care for this preganancy. It is hopeful that you are able to become pregnant, even with the losses.
While I’m not medically qualified to comment on your specific situation, I wanted to share the Trust’s guidance on ttc after MTX. If you have had either one or two injections of methotrexate, you should wait until your hCG levels have fallen to below 5mIU/mL (your doctor will advise you when this is through blood or urinary tests) and then take a folic acid supplement for 12 weeks before you try to conceive.
The Trust has more information at: https://ectopic.org.uk/physical-recover … eive-again
I’d also encourage you to take this time to rest as much as possible. MTX can have physical side effects and there remains a risk of rupture until you are below the 5mlU/mL, or nonpregnant levels. Please continue to monitor your symptoms. Your hospital should have given you a number to contact for health advice if you feel that anything is changing, or you will have been told to report to the Accident and Emergency (A&E) department. If you have not been told what to do and need to speak to someone ring the hospital department which is treating you or the NHS 111 Service by dialling 111.
These boards are filled with women who have been through similar experiences. Please know that we are here for you anytime and for as long as you need.
With good wishes,
Michele
