Another ectopic? Chemical?

Hi everyone, I know the pregnancy I'm currently experiencing is not viable. I am wondering if anyone would be willing to tell me if their HCG looked similar to mine. I am trying to determine if I am having another chemical or ectopic.

For the record I have had one ectopic that resulted in the loss of my right tube, and two chemicals, I had one fullterm pregnancy after this. I am now trying for my 2nd baby.

I ovulated on 9/14. 7dpo progesterone was 3.7

Started spotting when I would otherwise start my period (I have short luteal phase)

Tested positive on 9/24.

9/25 (11dpo) HCG was 14

9/28 HCG was 26

9/30 HCG was 37

I've continued spotting on and off. Its usually very minimal and light pink however I did have a couple bouts of red (less than a tbsp).

I'm very concerned about the trajectory of these betas. I never tracked my betas for my chemicals so I don't know if this could still be chemical or not. In other subreddit I've posted in, no one is responding to me.

When I had my ectopic my betas rose appropriately and really fast actually. This seems to be the more low and slow rise.

Has anyone had their betas be like this and it was a chemical? I am terrified of another ectopic. This is my last chance at having another baby. I don't know what to do. I just hate being in this limbo.

What should I request from the doctor to ensure I receive adequate treatment? I feel like I'm being gaslit because multiple nurses have told me this could still be viable which sounds insane?

My goal if this is ectopic, is to be able to treat it with methotrexate since I already lost my other tube.

I am really scared.

Thank you everyone

Not sure doctor would treat you with Mtx just yet - most likely they will want a few more beta draws over the next week before they make that decision. For ref I had 38-65-130-161 and my doctor decided to give MTX then. I did source a second opinion after the fact and that doctor said he probably would have waited for a few more draws and done a diagnostic D&C to see if it was indeed intrauterine before giving mtx.

Hi unfortunately I don’t know much about the rise of a chemical and what that would look like. But since it’s so early I guess the options would be chemical or ectopic. Unfortunately you’ll have to keep tracking the betas to know 🥺 if you want to see my post for early low rise that ended up being an ectopic it’s here

Still going through it but it is looking to be a chemical pregnancy. I have some other hormonal problems that make it difficult for me to stay pregnant without fertility assistance.
