A member asked:

Had irregular cycles prior to taking methotrexate, 2 doses for ectopic. will it make cycle more irregular or cause it to stop permanently?

May or may not: it may not make you have a normal cycle. This is something you can ask your physician. You may need to do discuss this with the gynecologist.
