I had a miscarriage in very early pregnancy three weeks ago. I didn't have heavy bleeing at the time, thoug there was some blood for a few days.
As my HCG levels were still rising and I continued to be in a lot of pain, I was given an injection of Methotrexate a week ago. I haven't bled since then, the only change has really been the side effects form the injection - so throwing up etc - and my HCG levels are still rising, though not by loads.
Has anyone else experienced this? I was told to expect the levels to go up a bit at Day 4 but to be dropping away by Day 7. I know there's an option of a second dose, but for it not to have worked at all by Day 7 doesn't seem a great sign.
Any thoughts from anyone or any experiences of something similar and what happened in the end would be much appreciated.
