What's the difference between ectopic and normal pregnancy?

hi everyone! as some of u know i found out i was pregnant on the 15th of jan.

i have been spotting, in and out of the ER and seen a few DR's and i havent really been told what is going on with me.

i had an u/s on the 18th of jan. they could see a sac back then that measured 5 weeks 2 days. my lmp was on dec. 16th

i went back on the 23rd and i was told there was nothing inside of my uterus and i had probably miscarried...didnt pass any clots and my spotting is more brownish than blood

i went back to the clinic to my surprise my hcg levels had dropped from 1700 to 1004..i go back and get another hcg and the levels rised to 1380..dr tells me to get ready for a shot for eptopic pregnancy in 2 days because my hcg levels are rising slow...2 days after the numbers go back up to 1780...so the dr. does an u/s. and now she can see something which wasnt there 2 days ago smaller than the first u/s

she tells me to go back on saturday if nothing really shows she will go ahead and give me the shot

im confused nobody can give me a good answer i have seen about 5 different docs and still no answer

what if i get the shot and turns out there was a baby inside my uterus or what if i wait too long and it was an eptopic.

im soooo confused! i thought i had miscarried and was over it already but the numbers are still rising and i am conscious of the risks there are with waiting any longer if it is an eptopic

please help anyone!!!

One must first consider that for hCG values to be valid, they must all come from the same lab. If done at the same lab, then this is an abnormal pregnancy with immediate investigation required to make sure it's not an ectopic, especially since nothing was seen inside the uterus, which after >1,200mIU/mL of hCG something should have been seen transvaginally
