Methotrexate

I was just told that I had an ectopic pregnancy. I am supposed to start methotrexate (one time injection) tomorrow to help in the re-absorption. Has anyone done this before?

I am sorry to hear about the diagnosis of an ectopic pregnancy. My Dr, at first, thought that I had - before I was diagnosed with an impending m/c. I have not personally gone through that treatment (as I had a natural m/c) - but I know if you Google "methotrexate", you will get a ton of websites that explain the treatment and any side effects you may experience.
Sorry I could not help you more, but I have found alot of invaluable info on Google.
Take Care, my thoughts and prayers are with you as you are going through this process.
Keep me posted.

I'm sorry you're going through this. Methotrexate is a drug that is used to treat many different things. It is a very common treatment for ectopic pregnancies. Although it's strong, it's used as first choice instead of surgery. Keep us posted.
