The use of methotrexate to abort an "ectopic pregnancy" is not 100%, so a positive HCG level (96) "four weeks" after methotrexate, may indicate an incomplete termination of the pregnancy. Obtain a repeat HCG level and see your GYN physician for an exam and additional testing (ultrasound) , as further treatment may be necessary.
