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've been in a situation where I had unprotected sex recently, and I'm wondering if it's okay to take the i-pill again. I used it last on June 22nd, so would taking it today be alright? I'm just anxious about using it twice in one month.

yeah it's safe to take 2nd pill within in a month

I'm planning to get pregnant soon and I'm wondering if you could recommend a good brand of folic acid tablets? Also, when's the best time of day to take them?

As a doctor, I would recommend brands like "Folvite" or "Obstetrical Folic Acid" for folic acid supplementation before pregnancy. It's ideal to take the tablet in the morning with food to enhance absorption and reduce the risk of nausea.
