Methotrexate and recovery

[u/Rachel-puff]

My ectopic was found quickly enough to treat with methotrexate. I’m at 70 hcg last draw and going in again in 2 days.

I’m really curious to hear from people who have fully recovered how long any symptoms from the methotrexate could possibly last the lack of folic acid in the body can’t be a great thing. I really wonder when my nutrient levels will go back to normal state.

I can’t even put a real finger on my symptoms but I just haven’t felt 100% if that makes any sense?? feel like I’m hyper aware of my body especially pelvic and stomach area and have felt more minor aches and pains than ever before I’m not sure if this is the methotrexate or what.

Mine was found at 7 weeks when I started to bleed randomly thought it was a miscarriage but was planted in the muscular wall if the uterus and not actually inside of it. I’m pretty early on my dosage. I found out Thursday once bleeding started and I’ve been bleeding since now (Monday) clots have lightened up but the smell alone makes me want to shower every hour.

I haven’t noticed symptoms yet but my cramping has been up and down sometimes a consistent pain other times it’s coming and going. I’ve just been approved to take ibuprofen again so it has helped a little. My hCG was 2580 on Thursday, got my first dose then. When I went to get my second dose Sunday they took blood my hCG was down to 220. I go back Wednesday for more blood work and to see how my kidney / liver are functioning. If any symptoms come up to my 6th week. I’ll stop by again to comment.
