Question
Hi doctor,
I was diagnosed with an ectopic pregnancy and treated medically with Methotrexate (MTX), after the first dose, the beta increased from 2700 to 2900. I had the second dose. 2 days so far. Currently, I have no abdominal pain nor vaginal bleeding. So the doctor let me ask you what are the normal signs after treating an ectopic pregnancy with MTX? Is the success rate of the second injection high? I thank you doctor.

Hello,
With the question “What are the normal signs after treatment of ectopic pregnancy with MTX? ", the doctor would like to answer as follows:
Treatment of ectopic pregnancy with MTX is a non-surgical medical treatment. An increase in beta hCG on day 4 from the first day of MTX is common and is not considered treatment failure.
The mean time for beta hCG to be less than 15 mUI/ml is 35 days, the longest is 109 days. Therefore, you need to follow your doctor's instructions.
If you still have questions about the treatment of ectopic pregnancy with MTX, you can go to a hospital of Vinmec Health System for further examination and advice. Thank you for trusting and sending questions to Vinmec. Wishing you lots of health.
Best regards!
