Has anyone had to have more than 6 injections of mexetexorate and go outside the guidelines and opt for more , 18 weeks plus and still in the tube ?
Hi 91Survivor,
I am so sorry that you are going through this very worrying time. Unfortunately, I’m not medically qualified to comment on your specific situation. I can not tell you the information from the post, but I hope you are having consistent medical care. I highly encourage you to continue consulting with your GPs on the best course of action.
You know your body the best, it’s important to be mindful of your symptoms until you reach non-pregnant levels, under 5mIU/mL, as there is unfortunately still a chance of rupture. The symptoms of a deteriorating ectopic pregnancy, which include worsening or progressively increasing pain; vaginal bleeding; shortness of breath; feeling faint; and pain in the tip of the shoulder among others, may become noticeable. If you suffer any of these symptoms you will need to be reassessed. Your hospital would give you a number to contact for health advice if you feel that anything is changing, or you will have been told to report to the Accident and Emergency Department (A&E). If you have not been told what to do and need to speak to someone ring the hospital department which is treating you or the NHS 111 Service by dialling 111.
Please continue to look after yourself and prioritise yourself. We are here for you for as long as you need us.
With good wishes,
Michele
