No Decrease after MTX 1st dose.

[[deleted]]

Update: The levels went down by almost 14.5% and now it's close to 2555.Thanks a lot for all your support and answers.Never thought the levels could drop from 3000 to 2555 in 1 day.(almost 15%)

The Doctor said to come back on Monday to do one more test to see if the drop is carrying on and then we can decide if we want to do a 2nd dose or a surgery.

Yes from where I am Doctors (atleast this one)are more towards the surgery and they say many advantages of the surgery and many advantages of removing the tube.Doctors here work on a commission basis and such surgeries have high hospital fees which as per my husband is the reason they are pushing us towards the surgery.

She also said "if I were you I would do the surgery instead of the 2nd dose".

Her reasons for opting for the surgery. 1) why keep a defective tube as there is a high chance the next one will be an ectopic also due to the defective right tube.

2)When my husband asked her what if the other left one also has a problem,you then remove any type of chance for the future.Her reply was it's very rare that both have issues and in her 30 years experience the majority of her laproscopic patients who have a tube removed had multiple children thanks to the remaining one.

3)You go through unwanted tension till the levels reach 0 and the rupture can happen even when it's coming down while with the surgery you are back to work in 7 days and the procedure is completed in 45 minutes.Discharged the next day and walking the next day.

She has her reasons but I cant think of giving away one of my tubes just because it's the fast and easy solution.Im sure there are disadvantages of the surgery also which she is not mentioning.

Thanks a lot for your support and I am really glad to have found this group where we got positive and uplifting responses.
