Default Re: 8 weeks into ectopic...Please help!

First off, I hope you're feeling better. If the pain is still there, I'd suggest you go back and have them look to make sure you're tube's not ruptured. I honestly can't believe they would give you the option of methotrexate this late in your pregnancy - especially when it didn't work the first time. They should be monitoring you much more closely than making you wait almost a week to see if your betas go down.

When I had my ectopic I had surgery at 6 weeks and my tube was so badly damaged at that point that it had to be removed.

I also agree with the previous poster. There is no reason for them to remove both tubes. With my surgery, they removed only the left (damaged) tube. Both my ovaries and my right tube were not damaged and they left them in. Unless the other tube is damaged they don't need to remove it.

I had to take a 2 month break from TTC in order for my body to heal. I was able to get pregnant a few months later with my one tube- I'm due in April and everything's going fine so far.

I hope you're feeling better. Please update to let us know how you're doing.
