I've been diagnosed with an ectopic pregnancy at 6 weeks and my doctor prescribed a 100mg Methotrexate injection, which I took today around 4pm. Since then, I've had constant but bearable pain is this normal? I really want to avoid surgery. Can I take any painkillers for this? Would appreciate your advice.

I'm about 6 weeks pregnant and I've been having this light green vaginal discharge every day since week 4. There's no itching, but I'm really worried about why it's happening. I'm on thyroxine, progesterone, and folic acid tablets. Could this be related, or should I be concerned about something else?
Green vaginal discharge during pregnancy can be caused by a number of infections, including:Bacterial vaginosis: An overgrowth of common bacteria that causes inflammation and a fishy-smelling discharge that may be gray or green and watery. It can cause problems during pregnancy, such as preterm birth. Trichomoniasis: A sexually transmitted infection (STI) caused by the parasite trichomonas vaginalis. It can cause a green discharge. Gonorrhea or chlamydia: Other STIs that can cause green discharge. Yeast infection: Also known as candidiasis, this is one of the most common vaginal infections during pregnancy. Urinary tract infection (UTI): Can cause discharge during pregnancy and may need to be treated.So consult gynaecologist for the same
