Abstract Ectopic pregnancy is the implantation of a fertilized ovum outside the endometrial cavity, occurs in approximately 1.5 to 2.0% of pregnancies and is potentially life-threatening. EP can be diagnosed accurately at very early stages by using transvaginal ultrasound (TVS) and sensitive plasma-human chorionic gonadotropinserum (HCG) measurements. Methotrexate is considered as the standard medical regimen in the United States and Europe for early tubal EP when the patients are hemodynamically stable women with unruptured tubal pregnancy ≤ 3.5 cm on transvaginal U/S without fetal cardiac activity with serum hCG level <5,000 mIU/L with the patient’s desire for future pregnancy and in the absence of contraindications to methotrexate. AMH is the best marker of ovarian reserve that can be tested in follicular as well as luteal phase as it is simple, easy, non-invasive, accurate and not affected by pregnancy or hormonal contraceptive treatment. This study was conducted on (25) patients presented with history of tubal pregnancy who received methotrexate as a conservative treatment and want future pregnancy. |
