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.

BUT.... I feel like my visits are not what they use to be. He...

    I gave my 2 week notice last Friday 13th. Now to join you fine people in a life of leisure and nothing else to do but to look out for myself....is it just me or does that sound pretty boring? My goal was to live to retire and I guess having to take early retirement because of health reasons wasn't exactly the way I had planned things. I just can't stay in that building that is reeking mildew...
