Hi all
I’m looking for some advice, I had scar ectopic pregnancy and was treated with methotrexate and levels have slowly been decreasing over the last 4 months however this week they have increased from 11 to 18.
Has anyone had this happen as really worried as thought this was coming to the end of this heartbreaking journey
Early pregnancy unit have arranged for scan next Friday
Many thanks
Dear Yvo,
I am so sorry to hear of your ectopic pregnancy and loss.
Following methotrexate the HCG levels do sometimes plateau however unfortunately
I am not medically trained and am unable to comment on why your HCG levels seem to be rising although you are doing the right thing in seeking medical advice.
Although I do not wish to alarm you, as your levels are rising, I would gently like to remind you to seek urgent medical attention if you experience any unusual bleeding, pain, increase body temperature.
Hope your scan brings further information on Friday.
Sending much love,
Karen x
