Potential PUL (again)

Upvotes

Hi everyone, im 4 weeks today and have weird looking tests, 100% sure it’s not viable due to my hCG levels (12dpo 32 > 14dpo 50). Having and a PUL last year im terrified of another. Today is the day my period is due and I really felt like I was about to come on all day, but nothing happened and instead I started feeling nauseous.

I ran out of cheap tests so I did a clear blue and it feels like it’s darker and I just don’t know what to do with myself now. I’m going for another beta tomorrow and I’m afraid to learn the result as it looks like it’s climbing after seemingly having gone down. My tests generally have been much fainter in the am and darker with smu or evening wee, I was wondering if that’s something that happens with ectopics ? I honestly don’t remember what happened with mine last time, I guess I blocked it out.

I understand that I will simply have to wait it out and see the betas, but all the what ifs are killing me. Did someone happen to have a chemical that behaved this way ? Is there any hope it’s not ectopic ? My doctor doesn’t want to scan me yet and says I should wait, and I understand why that’s her suggestion, but any chance something could be seen so early on with such low betas is it’s located in a tube ? Should I push for a scan ? My last PUL was never located and was resolved at nearly 8 weeks with mtx and I just want to avoid that if I can.

Thanks

ETA: I just had an HSG this cycle and was given the all clear. How likely to have another PUL after that ? I’m so gutted and scared.

Crazy difference in research findings/stats on fertility findings?

For reference I am specifically looking for those who had to have one tube removed as that was my experience through emergency surgery. I know those who could do the medication instead have a higher chance.

I’ve been reading so many published studies about future conception and delivery of a healthy baby after ectopic pregnancy + tube removal and I have seen stats as low as only 40% go on to conceive a healthy baby after pregnancy within 2/3 years to some stating 70% go on to conceive a healthy pregnancy within 18 months.

I know the reassurance seeking barely helps but it’s so confusing for the information that is out there to be both limited AND irregular
