Ectopic Pregnancy, Methotrexate and flying

I was diagnosed of having my 2nd ectopic pregnancy on the same side as last time.  They advised me that they weren't 100per sure whether it was in the stump that was left of my tubes or the top LHS corner of my uterus.  I was put on Methotrexate for a 12 hour stint on Thursday night just gone.  HCG levels were over 3000.  Monday blood test they were over 5000. I know that is normal but i am going back to see the specialist tomorrow and i am supposed to be flying out tomorrow night on an hour and half flight.  Just want to know statistically what are the chances of it rupturing mid flight and whether you would risk it.  Just so wanting a long weekend away after the past week and this trip was the only thing keeping me sane....

Did you end up flying?  Did you have any problems?  I am supposed to fly on Friday and just found out everything last week and had my first shot last Friday.  So it will be a week exactly when I fly out.  They are advising me not to but I of course really want to go as I could use the time away and the trip is for a friends wedding.  Would really like to know how things turned out for you.  Thank you!
