A member asked:
Why hcg levels rise after methotrexate shot? is it normal for hcg levels to drop frm 9000 to 1000 after mtx in 1 wk for supposed ectopic?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Bhcg : the Bhcg often rises the first few days after treatment with methotrexate for an act topic pregnancy. Typically a level is checked on day four. This establishes the baseline. Then we expect to see at least a 15% drop between day for an day seven. A larger drop is even better
