Vitamins after methotrexate

Hi I’m just wondering when it’s safe to take folic acid, and vitamins like vitamin d again? I had methotrexate treatment on 13th April and hcg levels are now negative again.

Dear Acampb,

I am so sorry to hear of your ectopic pregnancy loss,

Now your levels are negative you can start taking supplements again. It is advised to take folic acid supplements for 12weeks before trying to conceive following Methotrexate.

Sending much love,
