I don't know ow long you should wait after ectopic but I had a m/c and waited 1 for a period and then tried again. We were lucky enough to have it happen right away. I wish that for everyone.

With methotrexate, it's best to wait longer than you would with a m/c. Even though the drug is out of your system, it can still affect your body's absorbtion of folic acid. This article suggests waiting 3 months after methotrexate treatment, but it is based on long-term use of metho. There isn't a lot of info on how long you should wait after just one dose.
