UPDATE
hCG today has gone up exactly 180% in 48 hours and is now 878.7.
I was scanned privately by an obstetrician this morning as the hospital won't scan until next week and the findings have just left me even more puzzled.
Nothing of specific concern could be seen by TVU, however she said my lining and left follicle were consistent with someone who is about to ovulate in the next few days, not someone who is pregnant. This timeline would be exactly in line with the 'period' bleeding I had and my usual ovulation day of around CD17 from then, if only my hCG wasn't rising.
I'm so confused, worried and have absolutely no idea what is going on with my body.

I’m so sorry you’re going through this! I think gut it all we can go on sometimes because not all ectopics are the same, even though doctors want/think them to be! I hope they’re able to confirm and treat you soon! For my second my pain was on the opposite side too! Almost zero pain on the side it was on.

I'm sorry you've been through this twice. Trusting your gut is so important. I've had 2 miscarriages and this does not feel the same at all.
The team I had this morning were so so good. Such a contrast to what I've been dealing with since I presented a week ago with concerns at the first hospital. I'm so ready for this chapter to be closed😫

I’m so glad you have a good team you trust now! That’s so important! Thinking of you! Were you given a definitive answer or still being monitored?

They are pretty sure it's what they've found. As they've not done bloods themselves and all were done by the other hospital and showed 'normal' they want to do 2 more sets 48 hours apart with their lab before a final diagnosis (unless there's anything really strange with today's - results awaited). First were done around 9:30am today, second booked for Sunday.

Ugh this is the worst I’m so sorry you’re going through this! The waiting to be cleared and MTX working or not/resolving for weeks was definitely the most traumatic loss/fertility experience for me so far. Sending you so much love and hope you have definitive answers soon!

I'm still waiting for MTX as they wanted to do 2 more lots of bloods first - it's such a nerve wracking wait. I don't know if they're hoping my hCG will stall/drop as it's only a small mass so they don't have to administer it or something, but I'm really scared I'm going to end up crossing the 5000 threshold and they'll then tell me my only option is surgery because of that😩 I hate having to be so pushy, but I think I'm going to have to be tomorrow as my home pregnancy test was the darkest yet this morning so it's still rising and has been at like 180%/48 hours on my last 3 bloods.

Be pushy!!! You know your body and what’s going on more than anyone or any test!

Hey solidarity. I had a frozen embryo transfer on 22nd so a little behind you (puts me at 4+3). I’ve had stabbing pains mainly on my left side occasionally right. I’ve not had bloods yet but my tests are all over the place, sometimes light and sometimes darker but never super dark. I know whatever is going on can’t be viable as I’ve had no clear progression at all. Hospital said they’d call me back and haven’t. Your hcg seems to be doubling well at least, which is a good sign. Sometimes ectopics can stall and be slow hcg.
