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.

I'm feeling a bit anxious because I was on Duphaston 10mg once a day from the 15th to the 28th day of my cycle. After that, I did a pregnancy test, and it came back negative. I even got a Beta HCG test on the 28th day, which was also negative, and another urine pregnancy test on the 32nd day, and it was negative again. Normally, my cycle is pretty regular at 27-28 days. So now Im wondering, how many days after stopping Duphaston should I expect my period to start?
After stopping Duphaston, you can expect your periods to resume within 3-7 days, as Duphaston is a progesterone medication that regulates menstrual cycles, and its withdrawal typically triggers menstruation; given your regular 27-28 day cycle, you may experience your period around 3-5 days after stopping Duphaston, but this can vary from person to person.

I'm really curious about the benefits of taking an hCG injection during the 5th week of pregnancy. Are there any potential downsides to it? I'm just looking to understand what impact it might have, both good and bad.
HCG (human chorionic gonadotropin) injection in the 5th week of pregnancy may help support embryonic development, maintain pregnancy, and prevent miscarriage, particularly in cases of threatened abortion or history of recurrent miscarriages; however, potential disadvantages or risks include multiple pregnancy, ovarian hyperstimulation syndrome (OHSS), and allergic reactions, although these risks are relatively low when administered properly under medical supervision.
