Q: how long does it take for your body to absorb an ectopic pregnancy? i had methotrexate 7 weeks ago and my hcg levels are now 0 but the ectopic is still present?

: If the monitored HCG levels remain at zero then Mother Nature will "break down" and absorb any remaining fetal tissue over the course of the next 6 to 8 weeks.
