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.
