No bleeding and no cramping. I am 7 days post methotrexate. My HCG was drawn again today and not only did it not drop the 15% it was supposed to, it actually is HIGHER! Ugh! It was 1565 and now its 2700! I got another 2 injections of methotrexate and they are doing a D&C tomorrow morning. Hoping it will show "placental" tissue. If it doesn't, then it is ectopic and she would want another ultrasound then possible exploratory laporoscopy. I am supposed to leave the country on Wednesday.

I hope everything went OK with the d&c and that they found placental tissue. I hate that anyone has to go through this but having everything drag out adds insult to injury. ((( HUGS)))

My D&C went well. It was kind of a surreal experience. I was really nervous the morning of. Once I got to the hospital we sat around in pre-op for about an hour. It was Saturday, so there was only 1 nurse and 1 other patient. The anesthesiologist came in and I signed my consent. Then the nurse anesthetist came in and he ended up knowing my husband. He must have given me something while I wasn't paying attention because the next thing I know they are wheeling me into the OR. I happen to know the nurse in the room and we said hello and made small talk.Suddently, I was laying back in the room I was just in with my husband. It felt like nothing had even transpired. I had a MAC anesthesia, not a general. It was great. I literally got up, got dressed. Went home and started making sub sandwiches for a party. Totally surreal like it never happened. I did have some moderate cramping last night, and very light bleeding. But otherwise I feel great. Hoping that this is a good sign that they got out what they were hoping to. Otherwise my MD did say that wold mean it is ectopic and she would want to take me to OR again for an exploratory lap.-This would mean I cancel my vacation. Path results should come in on the tissue tomorrow (hopefully). Never in a million years would I have ever seen myself in this situation 1 month ago. I would never wish this on anybody else. I have told close family and friends what is going on and they have never even heard of such a thing. And honestly, neither have I. I don't even really know what is going on. It there just some strange tissue growing and growing? I just don't get it. I have never heard of being pregnant but there being no baby and nothing can be seen on ultrasound yet HCG keeps rising and rising. It is just the damndest thing...

This morning's news was not good. D&C showed no Chorionic tissue, meaning that is not where the pregnancy is. So I was, once again, told to go to the hospital for another U/S and labs. Well halleluiah! my MD just called and my HCG has gone from 2700 to 325. My US was negative yet again. Gosh....could this be ending finally?!

I'm glad your D&C went well!! That is crazy they didn't find any products of conception, but it's great news your numbers have gone down! So are you still planning on going to Mexico? I'm glad you are finally seeing the light at the end of the tunnel!

Just back from my trip last night. We had a great time. No pains at all, light bleeding for the whole trip but I was ok with that. Repeat HCG either today or the 26th. Thanks for all your support. I think this is finally over.

HCG on the 26th was 2. Starting back on prenatals and they will check my folate before we start TTC again. Not sure I'm ready for that quite yet.

Thank you ladies. I am on the road to getting back to normal. I have gained 10 lbs since this all started out of stress. Hoping to get back on track and get ready to start cycling again in February. My husband just became unemployed, so we can afford one more medicated IUI.
