Hi
I had my 1st dose of MTX on 26/07 at 1311 hcg
Post that my HCG is following a downward trend but very very slowly and didn’t drop by 15% b/w D4 and D7. It dropped by 10% b/w D4 and D7 and 11% b/w D7 and D11, has someone experienced this before, does it mean a 2nd dose would be needed ?
Thanks
Dear Curious,
I am so sorry to hear of your ectopic pregnancy loss,
I am unable to provide personalised medical advice, however as your levels are decreasing and if you remain stable and have no worsening symptoms of pain or bleeding, your medical team maybe happy to monitor your levels.
Sending much love,
