I would scope her, treat the ectopic and redo the tubal.

I have a gal that I did a c-section tubal on 8 months ago (with path specimens showing tubal segments) that now has a positive home pregnancy test.

Repeat quants have been 191, 282, and 390 at 48 hr intervals. Pt is without symptoms.

My presumption is that this is an ectopic based on the history and the abnormally rising quants.

My plan would be to give her methotrexate now to treat the ectopic.

When you any of you consider doing l/s to repeat the tubal? Now? 6 weeks?

Thanks,

Glen
