A member asked:
How long does it take for methotrexate to clear out the body after use for ecotopic pregnancy? will it cause infertility?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Unlikely: Low dose methotrexate as commonly used for problems like you have is cleared from the body in 48-72 hours. Infertility is a remote possibility as it can occur with any chemotherapy but Methotrexate is safer in this regard compared to alkylating agents.
