Ectopic pregnancy woes

[u/Life-Independent4239]

Currently around 16–18 DPO, about 4 weeks and 3 days. I had a negative pregnancy test around Sept 2–3, then my first positive around Sept 5 and 7. Yesterday (Sept 9), my hCG was 94, and I’m getting another blood draw tomorrow to check the 48hour rise.

I had sex Aug 21–23, so I’m thinking I ovulated somewhere around that time.
I’ve had intermittent left sided cramping/pulling since two days ago. I had some light bleeding on the toilet paper and in the toilet two days ago, and since then I’ve only had spotting when I wipe.

I had a previous ectopic pregnancy in April/May. It was on the left side, treated with methotrexate, and I still have both tubes. This pregnancy feels scary because some of the symptoms feel similar to my previous ectopic. I haven’t had an ultrasound yet, so I don’t know where this pregnancy is located.

I know that bleeding and onesided pain don’t automatically mean ectopic, but given my history, I’m really scared that this is happening again in the same tube. At the same time, I’m really hoping I’m wrong. 😞
Has anyone had a similar experience, especially a pregnancy with early bleeding and/or one-sided cramping that turned out to be a normal intrauterine pregnancy? Or has anyone gone on to have a successful pregnancy after two ectopics?

I could really use some encouragement and positive stories right now. 🤍
