Last year in March I had an ectopic pregnancy, I was fortunate enough it could be managed with methotrexate. I did go through extreme pain at the time one night vomiting from pain and had to spend the night at a hospital. However my levels eventually decreased and I was discharged. I read that for a few months after it’s normal to feel a few niggles at the ectopic sight so didn’t think much of it but even now on a monthly basis il feel a few niggles for a few days in that area, has anyone else experienced this who also has not had surgery?
I too experienced pain for some time following methotrexate for me ectopic pregnancy. I was referred by my GP for further investigations and was due to have these when I fell pregnant so never actually found the cause.
As marmoannie, has mentioned it could very well be ovulation pain.
We suggest keeping a pain diary noting when the pain appears, the intensity on a scale of 0-10 and anything that helps the pain eg resting, hot water bottle, paracetamol etc. Visiting your doctors with this information helps them to assess how best to manage your symptoms.
