Dear rose,

standard treatment is 0,3-1 mg/kg/d during 4 days, so if HCG still elevated you could go on with metrotrexate using folinic acid to avoid secondary efects. If HCG is higher than 1000 mUI you must have a eco to evaluated the ectopic, less than 300 is high possible you could not see the ectopic tissue. Remenber to talk to your doctor, he knows more than anyones about your ectopic.
