[Cervical pregnancy can be managed conservatively with methotrexate].
Two cases of cervical ectopic pregnancy after in vitro fertilization embryo transfer were managed conservatively. One living cervical ectopic pregnancy was treated with intra-amniotic and systemic injection of methotrexate, and the other cervical ectopic pregnancy with a fetal pole was treated with systemic methotrexate. The patient with the living cervical ectopic pregnancy had stable vital signs during the period of treatment. The patient with the fetal pole was admitted with heavy vaginal bleeding and anaemia and was stabilised before treatment was initiated. She was stable throughout the treatment.
