Methylergometrine is a blood vessel constrictor and smooth muscle agonist most commonly used to prevent or control excessive bleeding following childbirth and spontaneous or elective abortion. It also causes uterine contractions to aid in expulsion of retained products of conception after a missed abortion (miscarriage in which all or part of the fetus remains in the uterus) and to help deliver the placenta after childbirth.

You took methergine a month ago now showing 6 positive pregnancy test?

Methergine is not a contraceptive or abortion pill and if you are pregnant now after taking it a month ago, you might not even have been pregnant then so no harm to the fetus. Or you were pregnant but no harm has been done.I also hope you were given the meds by a doctor since Methergine should not be taken without supervision. See links below.
