Would you be able to carry a normal healthy baby full term after receiving a single dose of methotrexate by injection for an ectopic?
Yes, it is possible. Methotrexate only stays in the system for about a week. It depends more on how much damage may have been caused by the ectopic pregnancy itself.
When to expect menstruation after taking methotrexate for an ectopic pregnancy?
You will not get a period until your HCG count is back to normal which is less then 5. And even then it can take 1-2 weeks after that before your period comes back. If you were diagnosed with ectopic, they should be following your HCG level about every few days or at least every week until you are back to normal.
What is done when you have a ectopic pregnancy?
Well there are usually a small handful of possibilities that comes to treating an ectopic pregnancy. One, the ectopic pregnancy dies and the mothers body reabsorbs the egg and at times is never even detected and the woman might have never even known she was pregnant. If you encountered a positive pregnancy test then a later did another one and it came back negative, that could have been a possibility that it was an ectopic pregnancy. Or the other possibility with an ectopic pregnancy is that the tube that is holding the ectopic pregnancy may rupture causing severe abdominal pain and may cause extreme complications and surgery may be needed. If the ectopic pregnancy is detected by a physician, then he/she may prescribe a drug called methotrexate, which is injected into a muscles and ends the pregnancy. If the embryo is small enough doctors can remove the embryo through laparoscopic surgery and can usually save the tube. In this situation, a general anesthetic will be used and you will need to take about a week to recover. * http://www.multikulti.org.uk/en/health/ectopic-pregnancy/ * http://www.babycenter.com/0_ectopic-pregnancy_229.bc?articleId=229&page=4 * http://www.medinfo2004.org/get-to-know-about-ectopic-pregnancy-174/ You will most likely have to undergo minor surgery to remove the ectopic pregnancy or you can be prescribed medication that will end the pregnancy.

I am 7 weeks pregnant my doctor thinks it could be an ectopic pregnancy would I be in pain?
Not necessarily. I had an ectopic pregnancy that was not discovered until my 1st ultrasound at 10 weeks. I had no pain or bleeding at all.
What would a miscarriage be like with an ectopic pregnancy?
Well you have to speak wiht your doctor about that because if you are expierencing and ectopic pregnancy then, your fallopian tube might burst, so the doctor has to abort the pregnancy, and it would be like a regular miscarriage, heavy bleeding and cramping.
Chances of full term pregnancy with ectopic pregnancy?
no, there is no way of a full term pregnancy, your tubes can only stretch upto a certain extent, and then they will burst, making internal bleeding, which is extremely dangerous to the mother, possible not being able to have children again, and death of the fetus. If you do have any signs of an ectopic then I would visit your hospital asap, as ectopic pregnancy is very serious.
Abdominal pain after methotrexate injection for ectopic pregnancy?
After my methotrexate injections (I had 2) I did suffer from extreme fatigue and continuing, mild abdominal pain with the occasional 'stabbing' pain. I felt SLIGHTLY nauseous but not too bad. My hcg levels did rise slightly on day 4 post-injection but this is not uncommon, apparently. The key indicator is the drop between day 4 and day 7 which is expected to be at least 15% and after that, a continuing downward trend. I didn't have any bleeding at all until 8 days after the injection and then it was very light and pink in colour.
Do you produce white discharge with an ectopic pregnancy?
No, the first thing that will happen is light and consistent bleeding. Usually light to dark brown bleeding and a stabbing pain on your behind either left or right depending on what side of Fallopian tube you had an ectopic pregnancy, accompanied by mild to severe cramping very often. Once you had bleeding go to your doctor right away.
Why would one be spotting during pregnancy?
The most common causes of slight spotting during pregnancy are implantation bleeding, miscarriage, ectopic pregnancy, placenta previa, and placental abruption.
Does an ectopic pregnancy have to be terminated?
Yes. if a pregnancy has started outside the uterus it cannot survive and is extremely dangerous for the mother. Well, a baby cannot survive during an ectopic pregnancy. So the pregnancy will either be terminated or the baby will be lost before it is terminated.
