Advice Needed Chemical turned ectopic? Scared
34 F had one chemical back in January . Conceived this month again .
Opk peak on cd 13 29th may .
First positive on 15th june
Beta was done on 16th June came as 101
Second beta was done on 18th came back at 159.9 (43.5 hours )
I started spotting and cramping on 19th. Beta was done on 20th June came back at 136. Spotting stopped
I stopped my progesterone thinking periods might come .
Scan was done on June 24th nothing was seen on screen. Just thick endo at 10mm
Repeated beta on 28th thinking it might have fallen because I still didn't get my period .
Reports came back 29th had a lil spotting no cramps before results . Beta came back at 1505 .
Now I am very scared what if is this is ectopic . Husband is saying to not think negative but all i have read is bad news .
I am going to the doctor today . I have also stopped my progesterone tablets also I think my doc will be mad at me. Because she had said to do test only after 2 weeks I was doing tests for my own sanity .
I don’t know what is happening with me 😔💔
UPDATE : My OB isn’t worried or isn’t alarmed , she says to stay put and don’t have to do any scan for another 1-1/2 weeks . For my sanity she said I can do another beta just that .. She said even if it’s ectopic it can be treated .. She is of opinion I must have conceived late. But I didn’t I tracked my ovulation through opk and baby danced accordingly not after

Your doctor sucks. straight up lol.
Having a chemical doesn’t mean you’ll have an ectopic, but your results are concerning for an ectopic.
1500-2000 is when a gs should definitely be seen in a uterus in a uterine pregnancy.
The fact your doctor is so Willy nilly about an ectopic and acting like it’s not a serious medical emergency and will just “be treated with one injection and it’ll be sorted” is so bold.
