I would love to hear how long it took people to get a negative test after similar treatment to mine.

I had my right tube removed 3 weeks and 3 days ago when I was 7 weeks pregnant. I had an early scan that day because I had called with some concerns about intermittent bleeding. I was scanned, told it was ectopic, told it had to be surgery right away because there was a heartbeat and had surgery a few hours later. It had ruptured and there was internal bleeding but I hadn't noticed- just thought I was constipated. They told me after that there had been internal bleeding.

I took a test this morning as I was told to take one after 3 weeks and call the early pregnancy unit. There was a faint positive line. I can't call until tomorrow morning as it is emergencies only over the weekend.

How long until it should be negative? I don't think I was given mtx - nobody said so anyway - and my right tube was removed so surely there isn't anything left over. My tests up to the day of the surgery were very dark, very strong. This morning's was very faint. I was never told a number for hcg. I don't know if they bothered with that. If they did, they didn't tell me so I don't know where it started from or how long it should take.

I just need to feel like my body is back to normal.

Firstly, I’m (31) getting a pregnancy test tomorrow just in case.

Both my tubes were removed after two ectopic pregnancies. I then succesfully had a child with IVF. she’s almost five. There were no attempts for pregnancy, since I have a new partner and we’re only together for a year, planning to start IVF in a few months.

I realised just now that I’m ten days late, whil normally my cycle is very regular (28-30 days). I have been experiencing morning sickness for about 4-5 days now. I thought nothing of it without my tubes.

Really scared for another ectopic pregnancy now. Part of me hopes it’s a false alarm, part of me hopes I’m a medical wonder (it would be so welcome). I know I know, it’s wishful thinking.

I really needed to get this of my chest.

I had a cornual wedge resection for an angular pregnancy - I have been trying since September and nothing… 😭

27f- I recently had an ectopic surgery in August and I still sometimes get similar sharp sort of pain on my left side where my tube was removed. I checked with a doctor and she said I had yeast infection and gave me meds but even after that I still sometimes randomly have pain on left.

Also it's very scary every time I feel any pain in that area, so idk if its my anxiety. I had my left tube removed and also ruptured ovarian cyst. I'm very scared to ever try for pregnancy again because I had 2 miscarriages before then this. Also my period has become lighter which I keep getting worried for. My doctor said it might take 2-3 cycles to get normal but I can't help but keep having anxiety. I feel like I failed as a woman and had one job. I'm just very scared to go to hospital again. I keep thinking about only if my ectopic was discovered earlier I could just get MTX injection and save my tube.

I just want to know if anyone had similar experience or pain after surgery? Because I'm extremely clueless and confused if it's just me or is this normal healing phase.

Hi all.

So I had unprotected sex and took the emergency contraceptive pill. I found out I was pregnant a few days ago. I want to keep my baby.

I had an ectopic pregnancy in March 2023 which resulted in a ruptured tube which was surgically removed.

I am undergoing tests to rule out ectopic but in the meantime I am worried sick that it will be an ectopic again.

I took the emergency contraceptive pill with my first pregnancy and it was ectopic, so I am worried that the replicated circumstances will have the same result.

Does anyone have any experience with having a successful pregnancy after the taking the morning after pill?

Hi, everyone. I had an ectopic pregnancy abut two weeks ago. this caused my right tube to rupture and I had to have emergency surgery to remove it.

During the ultrasound they did before the surgery I thought I heard a heart beat. The doctor was listening for the blood flow to the ovaries and I thought I heard a heart beat. I’m wondering if anyone else has experienced this? The doctors and nurses were all professional and quick to get me into surgery so if there was a heart beat it’s possible they didn’t want me to get upset because the surgery would still have to happen.

Hi everyone, I received my second dose of MTX on 10/13. I had blood work today 10/17. My doc wants me to come back for bloodwork on Monday 10/19… I’ve read that the bloodwork should be done on day 4 and then on day 7. Will getting it done on day 6 totally skew the data? This whole process has been ALOT mentally so I’d like to have accurate results.
Doc said they count the day I got the shot as day 1. Idk just wondering if anyone got bloodwork on day 6 and it was reassuring?

I’m 3 weeks post-op from left tube removal after it ruptured and today experiencing very dark discharge and wondering if it’s my period coming back. What were your experiences like getting you period again?

I just want to see if someone experienced something similar. Please offer your insight.

August 2026, I suffered from an ectopic pregnancy and lost my left tube. My symptoms were very minimal, I only went to the ER because I started to bleed. My HCG was 1,189 at that point and I was 4 weeks and 4 days pregnant. My left fallopian started to rupture.

Fast forward October 2026, just a week ago I discovered I am pregnant. I got a faint positive, I went to the ER because I started to get side pain, I was approximately 3 weeks 4 days at that point. My HCG was 41. Nothing was obviously seen in the ultrasound. (Including no free fluid) my HCG went up to 79 two days later. I went to labcorp for my own HCG test and it dropped to 29 just two days later. I went to the ER today.

My HCG today at 4 weeks and 3 days dropped to 22. They did an ultrasound and found free fluid with debris but couldn’t tell me if it was blood or not. They didn’t see anything in my fallopian tube and nothing in the uterus. Not a gestational or yolk sack, which with an HCG that low, it’s expected right?

They described it as an ectopic pregnancy because they couldn’t locate it. They said it would resolve itself and follow up with the OB in a week.

They told me to come back to the ER if I experience bleeding.. which would be normal for a chemical and not ok for an ectopic. Topping it off, it’s the weekend. My OB is already terrible at getting back to me.

What the heck do I do.

Quanto tempo sentiram dor do lado da trompa retirada na cirurgia por causa da gravidez eptopica?

Summaries are not my forte, but I'm drowning in confusion here:

Suspected pregnancy after IUD, IUD confirmed placed incorrectly/rendered useless and removed.

Confirmed positive pregnancy tests.

Appt with family physician, recommends going to clinic for scan/confirmation/options as the waitlist for "Non-emergent ultrasound" is over a week long.

Make appt at abortion clinic. They confirm via ultrasound an ectopic pregnancy. Methotrexate given in thigh.

The hours that followed (maybe 3-4 hours before anything hit) were absolute hell. Injection site on fire. All of my muscles feel like they are being ripped apart, can't catch my breath, get relief, etc. from the onset of crazy symptoms.

Clinic calls me today, 1pm after I left several voicemails for their "aftercare" support - please keep in mind this was what my doctor told me would be the fastest way to get answers, I understand the abortion setting may be upsetting for some.

Biopsy on "bodily tissue" sample is a Corpus luteum cyst / hemorrhagic ovarian cyst.

The way they dismissed this information over a voicemail that says "there should be no long term side effects" of a poison being injected into me to target growing cells that DID NOT exist to begin with..

I am appalled. I understand the Canadian healthcare system sucks absolute donkey d!*$ but is this standard practice? Do clinics just casually call clients of their errors to inform them of such news and wish them good luck?

I felt like death and the only reason I'm currently functioning is because I took an ADHD med I haven't taken regularly in a while because I'm not sure what else to do. Trying to drink water to flush this out of my system.

With my research, I understand the type of cyst I had is commonly misdiagnosed as an ectopic pregnancy given the size and location they can be found, and would explain the positive hCG tests as the condition can mimic many symptoms of pregnancy.

So good news, I was never knocked up. Bad news, I'm utterly terrified at how this can happen and what do I do about it? How do I recover? And not spiral trying to research others' experiences without seeing how awful it is?

Help.

So after the hell month of August grief of ectopic, I got my first cycle on 19th September. Usually I do have a 28 day cycle. Expecting my cycle today but didn't get any. I m never late last time I got pregnant. Today I took a test but it came out negative n I left the test in the bathroom. After an hour, I took a peak and it had a faint line. I'm not sure if it is positive or evaporated. Since then now I'm feeling mild pain on the left side. Again the ectopic is haunting me.

Hi all,

Im here writing because im 3 weeks post emergency surgery. I didnt know i was pregnant. Turns out i was 6-8 weeks. My experience was really traumatic as i was neglected in the hospital for 6 hours while internally bleeding.
After being transferred in an ambulance to another hospital for better care i was rushed into emergency surgery.

Lost 1 liter of blood, and was told had i stayed at thar other hospital any longer i would have died.

First i was processing the trauma i endured, now im finally facing the fact i lost my beautiful baby.

I have a 14 month old so i do feel so blessed, but i knew this baby was coming to me for months before, and to know ill never see him breaks my heart.

And also fearing for future fertility and ever to be pregnant ever again…
Im struggling </3

I got my nexplanon removed on October 5th had bleeding October 6-11th was intimate on the 11th and 12th.. had nexplanon inserted on September 14th(changed my mind so got it removed).. got a very faint pregnancy test today is this even possible if we were intimate while I was bleeding and to get a positive so early.. I’ve also been having slight pains under my right rib on the back side and pain in my right arm … could I have been pregnant before nexplanon was implanted ? Is it likely ectopic because the line was so faint .. very dull pain in right arm very scared of ectopic

Hey guys!
I got my last period on August 22nd. I always have regular periods, but I didn’t get my periods in September. I did a home pregnancy test on Oct 3rd but it came negative. Did another test on Oct 9th, came negative again. I went to my family doctor but she was not in the clinic that day, and the receptionist made me an appointment with her for next Tuesday. I have no symptoms of pregnancy, but I have mild pain in my right lower abdomen since yesterday. I searched it up and came to know that it can be ectopic pregnancy. I have read people’s experiences that ER don’t take them seriously if we have these symptoms and no proof that we are pregnant.
What should I do now? Should I wait till Tuesday or go to ER tomorrow?

Alguém com dores no estômago picadas costas e estômago intestino uma semana depois da cirurgia de retirada da trompa por causa de gravidez eptopica??
Preocupada 😞 a uma semana e as e logo depois de comer fico com dor no estômago e picadas .

Hi everyone 👋 31F, partner is 31M. I got pregnant for the first time in April this year, and sadly miscarried at eight weeks in May. Found out I was pregnant again last month, got diagnosed with a suspected ectopic/PUL last week, and was treated with MTX. This has been so emotionally and physically exhausting that I can’t imagine TTC again without at least trying to see what might be causing these losses, so I booked an appointment with a well-regarded fertility clinic in my area. To anyone who has been in this situation before and pursued testing with a fertility clinic, what can I expect for the initial evaluations? Obviously our treatment plan will differ from others depending on the results of the initial evaluation, but I’m just trying to get an idea of baseline testing that my clinic will likely do. I would also love to hear some success stories of people who have been in my shoes. I’m running pretty low on hope these days 🥺

I had a FET (IVF) on 9/29 and my beta 10/12 was positive. HCG was at 121, 2 days later it was 115 and today 140. My doctor has said this is probably a chemical but could be an ectopic. After doing some research I’m concerned that my HCG not decreasing is an indication of an ectopic. I’m going back to the fertility clinic on Monday for more bloodwork and an ultrasound and my doctor said she will make a decision on MTX then. Should I push for the medication sooner? I’m feeling so anxious.

Just wanted to share my experience for anyone who is experiencing an ectopic pregnancy & want to have a little bit of hope.

I got pregnant my first time in March 2025 & found out April it was ectopic. I had surgery but they kept my fallopian tube.

I ended up doing an HSG after & was told the tube was blocked.

Fast forward to July 2026 I had my rainbow baby.

I'm currently 3 months pp & just found out I'm having twins from my blocked tube side !

Im officially 4 weeks today. I feel like what should be a joyous occasion ans drowned by the reminder that only a couple of months ago 4 weeks and when I started feeling the ectopic pain. 5 weeks when I got the shot.

This go around I have been trying not to think of it at all. I have high hopes that this baby will grow healthy.

I've read so many different threads and all opinions are different. Even doctors are split on the answer..

I had MTX 9/3, by 9/12 my HCG was 0. 9/12 I restarted my prenatals and had a period-bleed (without ovulation) for 4 days.

I ovulated about 5 weeks later and am expecting a period 8/24. If I TTC next cycle, I will be ovulating 9-10 weeks after MTX (8 full weeks of prenatal) around November 7-15.

I originally felt comfortable with the decision to go for it (my OB gave me the green light), but my husband is still hesitant, and now I'm doubting myself.

Any advice or stories? What did your doctor say about this?
