I'm a bit worried about my situation. I had an ectopic pregnancy that was found at 8 weeks in, and my doctor gave me a methotrexate injection since my hCG level was 39,000. A week later, I was prescribed methotrexate tablets for ten days. After taking the tablets the first day, I started bleeding heavily for five days. Then, after a two-day gap, the bleeding was more like a normal period but without any pain. My hCG levels have been decreasing steadily, and now they're at 601. Does this mean my problem is resolving, or should I be worried about anything else?

It is important to monitor hCG levels to ensure they continue to decrease until they reach non-pregnant levels. To help clear the ectopic pregnancy completely, you can continue taking methotrexate tablets as prescribed by your doctor. Additionally, it is essential to follow up with your doctor for further evaluation and monitoring of hCG levels to confirm resolution of the ectopic pregnancy. If you experience any concerning symptoms such as severe pain, heavy bleeding, or dizziness, seek medical attention promptly.
