Ectopic pregnancy and methotrexate

I had a miscarriage shortly after finding out I was pregnant. Went to the hospital after bleeding and the doctors confirmed that I was indeed miscarrying. I had to go back in a week to get my levels tests to see what the next step would be.

However when I got to the next appointment, the doctor on site did an ultrasound and saw that there was nothing there. He had my level tested and they were at 80. I would have been 7 weeks at this point. They had me do a DNC but the results came back that there was no pregnancy in the uterus which led them to believe it was ectopic. I had to do the methotrexate shot that week( levels came out to 75) and another the following week.(the 2nd shot was done last friday, levels at 63) but when I went to get my levels taken today, my results came back as 76.

What does this mean? Is this normal please help.

I had an Ectopic pregnancy and though it's a bit of a blur and seem to remember your HCG levels can initially increase and then start declining but check with the EPU. Sorry to hear what you're going through.

But would levels higher than the initial numbers be normal? I've read dropping then slight rise is normal but I haven't heard anything about it being this high
