PREGNANCY: Confirmed Ectopic Pregnancy, Methotrexate Injection From: Annie (anonymous@obgyn.net) Thu, 28 May 2009 14:17:46 -0500 (CDT) Messages sorted by: [ date ][ thread ][ subject ][ author ] Next message: Lynn Pitman: "CHRONICPAIN: Genitofemoral Nerve" Previous message: Rebecca: "Re: CHRONICPAIN: right sided pelvic pain for 2 years" Next in thread: William F. von Almen, II, MD, FACOG: "Re: PREGNANCY: Confirmed Ectopic Pregnancy, Methotrexate Injection" Reply: William F. von Almen, II, MD, FACOG: "Re: PREGNANCY: Confirmed Ectopic Pregnancy, Methotrexate Injection" I am a 33yo female and I recently found out I am pregnant. I have been pregnant 2 other times both full term, vaginal births. I have had the Paragard copper IUD in place since April 2008 without problems. I began light spotting on 5/14/09 that seemed like typical ovulation spotting (had what I thought was my LMP On 5/5/09....previous LMP on 4/4/09). Spotting continued thoughout weekend (5/15-5/17) as light but enough to require panty liner, no longer only on wiping. By Mon 5/18/09 I was bleeding and bleeding continued and turned into clotting by Wed 5/20/09. First ER visit on Fri 5/22; still bleeding/clotting. Ultrasounds (abdominal and vaginal) revealed IUD in perfect place in uterus and 1st revealed questionable "mass" near an ovary last week (5/22/09) and yesterdays revealed a confirmed ectopic pregnancy in the fallopian tube. My hCG levels were as follows (5/22 583, 5/24 659 and 5/27 almost 1600). Yesterday I received one injection of the methotrexate. I asked about anything avoid - alcohol, sun, sex, floic acid from my vitamin etc... the obgyn said "Nothing, not at such low doses". I want to and am inclined to trust my doc (new) but after doing some internet research it seems most if not all or more of these that I mentioned above should in fact be avoided. Could someone please let me know? Also, should I assume I will continue to bleed? As of, it seems to have ceased; however this happened this past weekend for about 24hrs and then came back strongly only to ease again. Thanks for any insight, both from personal experience but looking mainly for expert OBGYN insight. -- Blessings Next message: Lynn Pitman: "CHRONICPAIN: Genitofemoral Nerve" Previous message: Rebecca: "Re: CHRONICPAIN: right sided pelvic pain for 2 years" Next in thread: William F. von Almen, II, MD, FACOG: "Re: PREGNANCY: Confirmed Ectopic Pregnancy, Methotrexate Injection" Reply: William F. von Almen, II, MD, FACOG: "Re: PREGNANCY: Confirmed Ectopic Pregnancy, Methotrexate Injection"
