Hi all,
I have recently had an ectopic pregnancy, I was 7 weeks 2 days when I had the methotrexate injection. I was lucky that I caught it, after having an early scan and blood tests when I had been spotting for a week with tenderness and a dull pain.
It is now 3 weeks after the injection, and it has worked well with my hcg levels reducing from an initial 3900 to 36 today so I am hoping that they fall to below 10 next week and then to be discharged.
I am wondering whether anyone has had any follow up tests or scans after being discharged? The hospital have said that they don’t do a following scan to check that the tube is clear, or for anything else. I am wondering whether it is worthwhile getting any private tests done to put my mind at ease in preparation for trying again. I am concerned that my tube may be damaged after the treatment, or blocked.
I just wondered whether anyone else had done anything? I can scared of it happening again next time, especially if the same tube is used.
Is there are also any success stories after a 1st ectopic pregnancy, it would also be great to hear these.
Many thanks
