When i had an ectopic Dec 2009 the doctors advised me not to conceive for atleast 4months (i had 2 shots) as it can cause birth defects...Thats not a definate but it can,What happens is it strips away important cells for your body to absorb. You need to contact your gynae specialist like ASAP..when you was given methotrexate was you not advised how long to wait??You can also try googling it and get more advice.
I wish you the best of luck

yeah I just had my third dose of methotrexate and they told me to wait at least 3 to 4 cycles before conceiving. let me know how things go though, I'm trying to get back to 0, just went from 2400 to about 1400 hcg in one week so I'm praying it goes down quickly cause then I want to try again after a few cycles!
