Ectopic pregnancies are a common morbidity in the gynaecological field. Previous work done by our team has shown the benefits of conservative treatment with only BHCG (Beta-Human Chorionic Gonadotropin) monitoring, proving that a vast number of patients will have a self resolution without the need for any further medical intervention. In addition, our working hypothesis is that this process in contrast to Methotrexate is a more physiologic one with less inflammatory and necrosis reaction.
OBJECTIVE To measure and compare the size of the ectopic mass and monitor BHCG levels of women treated with Methotrexate and those that had a self resolution process of their ectopic pregnancy.
Investigators aim to prove that the mass will have an enlargement trend after Methotrexate in contrast to being stable or decrease in size with conservative treatment.
