hi guys
I been having this feeling in my throat that’s irritating and makes me want to cough. I have no other symptoms of a cold or flu. it feels itchy and even when I take a breath I feel it and i can cough if I want. I had it for two weeks now took a Covid test was negative. went to a doctor and he thinks it’s allergies after diagnosis . has anyone else had this?
hi everyone
im looking for same insight into similar experiences . My hCG levels have dropped really far, but my most recent bloodwork showed my hCG has been hovering/stalled right at 8 for a week. Over the last few days, I’ve started having light bleeding/ with mild cramps (feels like a withdrawal bleed or first period after hitting zero). not sure if it’s my period. my doctor isn’t too concerned but she wants me to do another test she said it is common for it to stall but another blood test should help.
I’m feeling very anxious about this can someone pelase tell me they have experienced this too? Appreciate it
hi guys
a bit worried right now because I been having spotting for 2 weeks now and my hCG was at 8 a week ago not sure what it’s at now but today I got some cramps and now the bleeding is more but not soaking through pads. could this be a withdrawal bleed or period?

Hi everyone. I am currently in the thick of the waiting game after getting treated with methotrexate for an ectopic pregnancy, and my anxiety is getting the best of me.
My hCG levels started relatively low and had a really great first drop (from 731 down to 399). Physically, I just have a constant, dull, pulling ache that my doctors say is normal healing, but every little sensation makes me terrified of a rupture. I do have a mass as well
My next blood draw isn't until Tuesday, and living hour by hour waiting for the clock to tick down is exhausting. I feel like I'm barely living right now. can’t enjoy anything
I really need to hear some positive, uncomplicated success stories to help me calm down. Did anyone else have lower starting numbers and a smooth, "boring" drop to zero with just one dose and no rupture? What did your healing phase feel like? Also has anyone had a big mass as well and it resolved ?
Thank you so much in advance. I just need a little hope to hold onto today.
Hi everyone,
I’m currently recovering from an ectopic pregnancy treated with methotrexate. My numbers are dropping ; peak was 750 and it dropped down to 398 by Day 7. My ultrasound mass was measured at 4.2 cm x 7 mm (0.7 cm).
Even though my hCG drop is great, I’ve had a persistent, mild, dull ache on my ectopic side since Day 4. It isn't severe or sharp, just a constant, nagging pressure that is making me really anxious after reading scary stories online. My doctor says this is normal "separation pain" as the tissue shrinks and my body absorbs it, but it’s hard not to worry.
Did anyone else have a constant, mild side ache around Day 4 to Day 7 that turned out to be totally normal? I would love to hear some positive success stories from anyone who cleared their ectopic with MTX and experienced this same kind of pain.
Thank you so much.
hi guys my levels went from 731 to 658 to 397 today and that’s great but I’m having mild dull pain on my ectopic side and doc said it’s fine long as it stays full. could it be the tissue dissolving ? did anyone have this as well and the treatment went well?
hi guys my levels went from 731 to 658 to 397 today and that’s great but I’m having these quick zaps like pinch pain on my ectopic Side but the back is this normal ? could it be the tissue dissolving ? did anyone have this as well and the treatment went well?
hi guys
i got the methotrexate shot on Tuesday and my levels went from 732 at ER to 696 then 658 on day 4. I do have a mass there and I do feel pain on that left side where it is it’s a dull ache almost burn like pain. it’s bearable and stays the same on and off. has anyone else experienced this after the shot? I’m living in fear each day

everyone. I was just treated with methotrexate for an ectopic pregnancy on my left side. My ultrasound showed a mass, and I also have a moderate amount of fluid in my pelvis. now I’m crying everyday wanting my life back wishing this anxiety and fear is just a nightmare
The good news is that my hCG levels are already dropping from 730 to 688 in one day after the mtx shot then 658 today on the 4th day but I am absolutely terrified of a rupture and so scared of the pain. The doctor said the mass might not shrink right away and could even swell first.
Has anyone else been through this with a larger mass and had success with the MTX needle working? How did you manage the anxiety and the pain at home? does the needle work and help the pain? I could really use some reassurance right now. Thank you.

I’m currently sitting in the ER waiting room alone and I am terrified. I am dealing with a suspected ectopic pregnancy and got the methotrexate injection recently and was waiting to go Friday for hcg check ( it was 735 on Tues)
A little while ago at home, I had a sudden, severe spike in my left sided pain that was really intense everytime I moved I had this before too. and I went to ER doctor didn’t see anything that was right away serious but the ectopic. It has calmed down now to a very low ache, but it completely panicked me because I've felt this exact kind of pain before too. It’s so frustrating because the hospital has me stuck in the waiting room again just because the intensity temporarily backed off. I’m trying to advocate for myself, but this is incredibly draining and scary. Has anyone else experienced severe pain waves or spikes like this after the shot without it being a rupture?
Hi everyone,
I’m currently going through a really stressful time and wanted to share my journey so far, and also see if anyone has been through something similar.
My doctor recently found a mass and strongly suspects an ectopic pregnancy. Because of this, I had to get the methotrexate injection to treat it. my hcg is at 735, I took the abortion pill a few days before and iit doesn’t seem to be working.
Right now, I'm just playing the waiting game and feeling really overwhelmed. I’m resting, but physically , I've had a bit of a headache and I am feeling minor on my left side where the mass is, which is making me pretty anxious. I’m supposed to back this Friday to get my levels tested again.
For those of you who had a mass or a suspected ectopic treated with the injection:
Any words of advice, reassurance, or shared stories would mean the world right now. Thank you so much.
Hi everyone. I’m looking to see if anyone has had a similar experience.
I was about 4 weeks pregnant (LMP June 1) and took the abortion pills a couple of days ago Friday July 3. I started bleeding and cramping a few hours later as expected.
Before taking the pills, I had severe pain on my lower left side that felt gassy . At one point it was so bad I was crawling around for about an hour before it went away. Since then, the pain has completely resolved, now I’m just bloated.
I went to the ER yesterday July 5 because I was worried about an ectopic pregnancy. They did blood work, urine tests, and both abdominal and transvaginal ultrasounds. My hCG was around 700. They didn’t see an ectopic pregnancy or anything in the uterus, and the doctor said it might just be too early to see anything. He also said he thinks the abortion pills are working.
I recently passed a large blood clot and my bleeding is about like a regular period.
The thing making me anxious is that the ER doctor said my hCG was higher than the blood test I had before taking the abortion pills. I have another blood test on Tuesday to see if my hCG is dropping.
Has anyone had something similar happen where the hCG was initially higher after taking the pills but then dropped on the follow up? Or had severe one sided pain that turned out to be okay?
Hi everyone. I’m looking to see if anyone has experienced something similar.
I found out I was about 4 weeks pregnant and took the abortion pills yesterday. Within a few hours, I started bleeding like a regular period and having cramps, which I expected.
The thing that’s worrying me is that I had really intense pain on my lower left side before I even took the pills, and now it’s happening again. last night it happened again and I was trying to find a comfortable position to lay in because it was not bearable.. then it stopped and I fell asleep. The pain comes in waves, gets so severe that I can barely move, then it completely goes away. I’m not dizzy, I’m not fainting, and I don’t have shoulder pain or a fever. it feels like gas pain or colon.
Has anyone had severe one sided pain like this that turned out to be gas, normal cramping, or something else?
Thanks in advance.
