MTX ladies - how long for HCG to get to 0?

If you had a MTX shot, what was your beta when you got the shot and how long did it take to get to 0? I'm just curious. My beta was 4500 when I got the shot, and it's been 6 weeks and it's still elevated, at 18. grrrr! I want my body to get back to normal!

    I'm sorry for you loss. I know it is frustrating to monitor the hcg. 

    My betas has already dropped to 400 by the time I got the shot, so for me, it only took about 2 weeks to get under 5. I bet you will get there next week. 

    Married 4/12/08 DS born 11/17/2009 via c-section at 39 weeks. 11/12/2011 BFP #2!! m/c 7w5d. 2/28/2012 BFP #3 Beta #1-12dpo = 18; Beta #2-16dpo = 185; Beta #3-18dpo = 505. EDD 11/10/2012. Ectopic discovered at 5w4d. D&C followed by methotrexate.

    Sorry! If you're at 18 it should happen very soon! I started at 10,000 but got down to zero in 3.5 weeks. My course was pretty painful but very fast though--it dropped 90% in the first week. FX for your zero soon!

    I can't imagine you wouldn't be zero at your next draw (weekly, I assume).  I started at 1800 and was 12 (Dr didn't have me do another blood draw after that one) 6 weeks later.

    Good luck to you!
