Am I having an ectopic?

Hello, I had a FET on 8/10 and here are my betas so far:
8/19 (9dp5dt) HCG 117
8/21 (11dp5dt) HCG 134
8/24 (14dp5dt) HCG 144
8/27 (17dp5dt) HCG 193- nothing seen on ultrasound, advised to stop medications
8/31 (21dp5dt) HCG 682

Today, 9/1, my clinic wants me to go for an ultrasound but I think 682 is still small to see a gestational sac.

Can an ectopic be found at these levels? Should I wait two more days for an ultrasound?

Ectopics can be seen at very low HCG levels, wayyyyy lower than intrauterine pregnancies. It’s definitely worth keeping your appointment and getting a scan today to check—just in case something is visible outside of the uterus.

My hcg was 500 when my ectopic was found on an US. It was 453 and 413 the week prior.

Hi, this is similar to what happened to me earlier this year. It was a pregnancy of an unknown location but not ectopic thankfully. It took three scans and they finally found a tiny sac in my uterus at 8 weeks. My HCG kept rising slowly. I ended up taking tablets as my body just wasn’t miscarrying naturally. Sorry you are going through this.

I’m sorry, this does look like a trend that is concerning for ectopic. Did you go for the scan?

I'm so sorry but yes, at these beta levels, I would be concerned about ectopic.
