Can Taking Methotrexate Cause Any Health Issues In The Long Run?

I ve been on Methotrexate for about 2 years now at 6 mg injection once a week. I get my blood tested every 6 to 8 weeks and the ALY has been increasing a little with each test. It s now at 46 which is a little above the norm. Can this become an issues in the future?
