So unfortunately at 5 weeks i was diagnosed with an Ectopic Pregnancy i was at the hospital and they injected me with Methotrexate which makes it come out and decreases the beta hcg... i am super destroyed . But I’m trying to be positive that this was caught earlier . Has anyone gone through this? What are the symptoms after the injection? & did you have a healthy pregnancy in the future?

First off let me say I am so sorry for your loss. And unfortunately I had a similar situation at 5 1/2 weeks in November 2018 I had an ectopic pregnancy but I had to have my fallopian tube removed and that was after a round of IVF in January 2019 they transferred another embryo and now I am sitting next to my three-month-old beautiful baby boy so yes there is life after it and you will have a baby and everything works out and happens for a reason! You will have dark days but you will get through this and move forward. Sending you prayers and love!

I’m so sorry! I had a similar thing happen last week after my first round of timed intercourse and two prior miscarriages. I was pretty crampy the first two days, but I’m now at 4 days past the injection and feel fine! I go back Thursday to talk about next steps.

So sorry this happened to you, I've not been through it but I have had a miscarriage so I know how it feels, if you can take one positive away, atleast you know you are fertile fingers crossed you get your rainbow baby in the future xx

Thinking of you, I had a little one in 2017 and suffered an ectopic pregnancy in april 2019 I had my fallopian tube removed, it hadn't ruptured though I was roughly between 6-8 weeks but wasn't far from rupturing. I have heard many positive conception story's after suffering an ectopic. Try and keep positive x

Going through the same thing

Hi all. My heart breaks for all of you and hope you’re each feeling a bit stronger every day. I’m going in for my first scan Monday (6.5 weeks) and am terrified it’s ectopic. If any of you don’t mind revisiting, can you share if you had any symptoms beforehand? 🙏🏻

So sorry for your loss. I had the same but didn’t get the injection but had to have emergency surgery because my Fallopian tube ruptured. I don’t have my Fallopian tube anymore but my doctor has given me hope that I can still get pregnant. It will just take a longer time! This is the first month since (Jan I had surgery) that we tried. Supposed to start tomorrow, if it doesn’t happen we will try again! It’s so different for everyone just have fun with it. Have fun with your partner and don’t stress because stress is terrible for the body! You got this!

Currently going through this now, will probably receive methotrexate this week

What were your symptoms?

I’m currently taking methotrexate because they found out that I have an ectopic pregnancy on my right ovary. My hcg levels are around 6000. I’m 8 weeks right now and I’m hoping this medicine works in bringing my levels down :(

I had my methotrexate injection today. I haven’t had any symptoms. My HCG levels were increasing and the doctor did not visualize a gestational sac in my uterus. They kept me waiting almost 3 weeks doing labs and checking my hCG levels until I asked for an ultrasound. They found an ovarian ectopic pregnancy. I’m hoping the levels drop.

This past Sunday, I went to the ER with light bleeding and painful cramping on my left side. I was 5 weeks. The doctor could not confirm an IUP and also didn’t see any signs of ectopic, although, in hindsight, I wish I would have asked more questions. On Tuesday, the pain became unbearable and I went back to the ER. It was an ectopic pregnancy and my Fallopian tube had ruptured and I had to have emergency surgery. I wish it would have been caught before it ruptured. My husband and I are devastated but hoping to still try again. I’m just really scared now. This is something I never want to experience again. 😔
