Ectopic pregnancy

I found out on Monday that I have an ectopic pregnancy after I believed that I had already miscarried due to the large amount of tissue I passed on Jan 21st. I was in quite a bit of discomfort, not the sharp pains that most people talk about. After two U/S and three blood draws all showing that my HCG was still slowly going up they finally saw the embryo near my left ovary. Luckily nothing had ruptured and I was able to take the medication option and avoid surgery but this whole thing has been so confusing and I have a whole new appreciation for what chemo patients go through since the medication for ectopic is a minute dose of methotrexate, which most commonly is used for cancer treatment.
