Hi B.
I had an ectopic pregnancy in 1999 and they gave me a methotrexate shot. They told me there were no side effects to be worried about. The second day after the shot I started having some fullness in the abdomen. The next night I started having some pretty painful crampy feelings, no spotting or anything, but some pain. Nothing really sharp at first, I ended up in the ER they didn't say anything was wrong.... throughout the night the pain got worse, by the next morning I was having severe shoulder pain and I felt like I had been beaten up on the insides. Come to find out I had ruptured the night before and had been bleeding. I would call your doctor and ask them. I lost my tube and ended up in emergency surgery to stop the bleeding. It was scary and much more than I expected. I'm not saying you are having the same thing, but I always say it's better to be safe than sorry.
I hope this helps and doesn't scare you.. There are other women that have been treated with methotrexate and had no problems. Just thought I would share my story..
I'll be praying for you
