Mid June I found out I was pregnant after a miscarriage in December 2025.
I had my first appointment in July 6th and was around 5w5d, quite early for a first OB appointment but I wanted to check because I was spotting. We couldn‘t see any gestational sac and my OB said that it just might be too early so we did some blood tests. My HCG was around 1000 and two days later, the numbers doubled so my OB confirmed the pregnancy.

Initially, my next appointment would have been on July 30th, however I started spotting and passing blood clots on the July 17th and the following days, so I called my OB and was able to go for another check on 20th. In the ultrasound we still didn‘t see any gestational sac where it should‘ve been, which was alarming and she saw something near the left ovaries. Had to do some blood tests again, however we would‘ve gotten the results only one day later because of logistics. My OB also told me to go to the hospital the minute I feel I have pain in the lower stomach, since she suspected an ectopic pregnancy.

I was already feeling anxious and nervous after the appointment, so we went to emergency that evening. Had more ultrasounds and did more blood tests, turns out my HCG has risen to 18,000 so they then confirmed what my OB suspected, an ectopic pregnancy.
Had to stay the night and had my emergency surgery the next morning. I was already at 7w5d by then, so it was alread quite developed and they had to remove the damaged left tube.

The main and most important lesson I have learned from this is that it‘s crucial to listen to your body and gut feeling. In hindsight, I should‘ve asked for more appointments after the HCG tests were done, to check that everything is still alright. I‘m just glad and relieved that I was able to do the surgery so fast, since it can get lifethreatening and that the doctors and staff in my hospital were so kind and supportive. In my case, the shock from the last few days have helped me with overcoming the grief.

I'm so tired of feeling like a constant ticking timebomb. I am 20 days post MTX - here's my HCG trend.
Day 1 - 3000

Day 3 (went to the ER for pain - was released) - 6600

Day 4 - 6505

Day 13 - 2547

Day 20 - 1550

I'm still absolutely terrified of rupturing. I had terrible cramping/ bloating/ pressure over the weekend and told the doctor about it today and they did not give me an ultrasound as I have also been constipated so they said it sounds more like constipation pain and that they are looking for continuous pain rather than pain that subsides. I did, however, get a complete blood count done and my levels are normal (and higher than what they were on Day 3 when I went to the ER). I'm just so freaking tired of feeling this way. I'm overanalyzing every single pain and I'm scared to live my normal life. I am travelling tomorrow (I am Canadian and my husband is a US citizen, he lives 5 hours away from me and we just bought a house prior to all of this happening so we planned our housewarming party also prior to all of this happening) and I'm just still so nervous. I'm mainly just venting but I would like to hear some reassuring stories of MTX and if you had any pain during the process but did not rupture and how long it took you to get to 0. I've read so much about women rupturing week 2-3 after their MTX shot and it scares the heck out of me.

I recently had an ectopic pregnancy last year in november that resulted into my left tube rupturing and had to be removed.
i got a faint positive 7/20 and i’ve been testing every day since then. (i know it’s not necessary but just nervous) i had my last period 6/15-6/21
i have also taken different kinds of at home tests like clear blue, generic, first response, and pregmate and they all come out faint (and as you can see some variations of faint). also the other tests i took are too light to see on camera rather than in person. i have already made a dr appointment and they do know my past history. just want other’s opinions

Helloooo dear r/ectopicsupportgroup friends - trying to conceive again and wondering how you all are monitoring HCG properly? I lost my left tube with an ectopic last December (the 31st), but we are trying again and I maybe saw the faintest line on the test? Looking to get regular Hcg monitoring just in case and really have no idea
how to do that besides urgent care.

Hello,

I made a post the other day about a possible ectopic pregnancy looking for advice. I did, in fact, have one… or still do… I received methotrexate 3 days ago. I have been bleeding, but not a ton. Of course I’m using pads. Well I woke up yesterday morning with an awful, angry, itchy stripe where the pads sit up against my body. I think they gave me contact dermatitis. I already switched to 100% cotton topped pads. Knowing how my skin is, though, I’ll probably have this angry, itchy stripe for at least a week or two. Has anyone else experienced this? Is it safe to use any creams or medications for this? I feel like I’m going to scratch my skin off. This definitely is adding insult to injury :(

I am so confused. And hoping someone can provide any sort of similiar experience or advice?

Several years ago I got an HSG because my doctor recommended for fertility testing (before trying to conceive). It showed both tubes closed? I got a second opinion with another Dr one month later, fully open. The second report stated “bilateral normal fallopian tube spillage.”

Any experience with this?

Now that I want to conceive, I am getting a third opinion but anxious to see what they will show :( if the most recent one showed open, hopefully it still is?

Hey, so I'm not sure how to start this but I was about 2 months pregnant when my left tube ruptured while I was at the grocery store. I didn't even know I was pregnant till a few days before it ruptured but I'm just having a hard time coping I guess? I didn’t necessarily want a child but after hearing from the doctor that my left fallopian tube had to be completely removed and from my family that I have basically halved my chances of having children in the future. I just feel bad. When I think about what could've been. I feel like I've completely ruined any chances I have at having children, a family. One of the nurses was so sweet and kind though. She told me that though this is something very traumatic that's happened, plenty of women go on to have successful pregnancies with just one tube. I don't think I'll ever forget her. I've been out of the hospital not even a day and I just feel stir-crazy. I have to depend on the people around me and I just feel useless. I'm rambling, I just wanted to know the following:

1) Is it natural to feel some burning sensation where the tube was removed? I only really experience it whenever I stand for too long and if I used my abdomen to move out of bed.

2) Can I smoke? I wanna smoke 🍃 bad just so that I don't have to take the painkillers prescribed to me since they cause constipation.

3) Is there anyway I can fix my lower belly from hanging? Since I lost 2 liters of blood and I passed out 3 times and the doctors couldn't tell where exactly the ectopic pregnancy was located they had to perform emergency surgery. Basically a cesarean cut along my lower abdomen.

4) How can I tell if my insides are bleeding again? I'm not saying it is or that I feel a particular type of sensation, I just want to keep an eye out in case I need to head to the hospital again since the whole experience was pretty terrifying.

Even if you can't answer any of my questions, thank you for taking the time to read. Literally only found this sub today and I've been bawling my eyes out. I'm glad I've found people who can relate to what I've been feeling.

Thank you♡

Hi all, hoping for some insight on my HSG results from today. A little background on myself, last May (2025) I had an ectopic where my left tube was removed. I've had 2 chemicals since then and finally decided to speak to an infertility specialist last month. I've had all my blood work done, everything came back normal. I had my HSG done today and had some unusual results. I had a dye spill on my right (remaining) tube, but also a 1 cm right hydrosalpinx. Everything I've looked up seems contradictory. Looking for anyone that's had similar results, thanks!
