Ectopic journey—- has anyone experienced this???
I found out I was pregnant on September 17th , had no pain or anything BUT my body knew something wasn’t right. I had a ectopic tubal in may of 2020 and lost my left tube.
Had my first child last year 2023. Something told me ectopic this time around.
So I told my doctor and I went in for blood every other day because there was so sac found on the ultrasound.
Levels were at 1200, two days later 1460 then the third time I started experiencing cramping before my appointment and spotting. He ruled it out as ectopic because my third results were only in the 1800.
I ended getting surgery and found out it was rare ectopic called fimbrial ectopic.
Two weeks after surgery I’m still test positive on a test. And my Hcg level is at 208 after two weeks. My doctor is concerned that I will have to take the methotrexate shot. I guess my question is, is it normal to not be at 0 after two weeks of the surgery?

I don’t know if my doctor is just being safe and watching because if I end up with another ectopic in my tube he will have to remove my last tube. he wants me to go in every 48hours to make sure it’s dropping. He told me that he is certain he cleaned it all out, but there is a possibility that a cell attached itself to something else and started a new ectopic and he wants to get it solved asap. I definitely will ask all my question before anything further happens. I’m just so devastated I put myself through surgery just to be told I might need the shot which I’m trying to hard to avoid.

Not necessarily, I’m one month post miscarriage and post op and it hasn’t dropped to 0 yet. If your doctor wants you to take the shot, I’d ask further a detailed explanation. I’m sure there’s a reason, just something we don’t understand yet
