Has the embryo stopped growing or is it still growing

Would anyone know. I’ve asked multiple

People including my doc but I’m just so uncertain

If my levels started to stop just before I got the injection and I passed clots also my boobs that were hurting for weeks suddenly didn’t hurt anymore… could that mean the pregnancy is no longer growing… I think I would settle a big knowing it’s not getting any bigger

Hi Annieanxious,

I replied on a different thread, but I also wanted to respond here to this question. With the mtx treatment and declining hcg levels, the pregnancy will no longer be growing. It’s important to continue to monitor your symptoms until you reach nonpregnant levels, under 5mIU/mL.

Please know we are here at any time.

With good wishes,

Michele

My levels have gone down!

They started at 5800! Before my injection they went down to 4868 then down to 3600!! I’m so relieved to know the injection is working. I understand I’m not out of the woods yet but have some kind of positive in all of this is just simply amazing

That is such good news, yeah it’s definitely working. My experience is big drops and then they get smaller until the end so it will take a few weeks to get to zero but at least you know you are on the right track.
