A member asked:
I was diagnosed with an ovarian ectopic pregnancy. i was given methotrexate to help stop cell division. will this affect future fertility?

No.: You are very fortunate it was caught early and could be treated without surgery. Your chances of pregnancy with two ovaries and fallopian tubes remaining will be normal. http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC3191676/
