possible ectopic

well i am 6 weeks pg, and i went to the er today for bleeding, i have been having my hcg levels checked everyother day, they are doubling. but my progeterone is only at 10.4, they wanted to end the pregnancy, because they THINK its an ectopic pregnancy, they didnt see anything in the tubes or uterus. i declined and left the er.
my sister went through this, and she told them no too, she wanted to wait until it actually showed it was in her tubes, then at 7 weeks she had an u/s and it showed the baby in her uterus and her progesterone was low, and they put her on a pill. she now has a 6 month old healthy baby boy. has this happened to anyone and they had a healthy pregnancy?

This pregnancy im now 38 weeks, i was 5 weeks and 6 days pregnant. I had an empty sac and my hcg levels were only around 16,000 or something like that. They told me i most likely have a blighted ovum (pregnancy proceeds with no baby) they wanted to set up a D & C i said no way and waited until i was 8 weeks to get a more definate answer. Im now ready to pop with my healthy little guy :) Oh the reason i went to the ER in the first place was because i was bleeding for 8 days straight. I thought for sure i was miscarrying, turns out just some hemoraging. Which alot of woman get in early pregnancy.

5 months ago i had an ectopic. theres really no sigsn because i had every symptom in the book of pregnancy!! This pregnancy i felt overall pretty good until now :) anyways i had cramps like my period the whole time i was pregnant. I kept asking my mother if that was normal. And spotting alot. Sometimes for 2 days then stop then come back the next week for a week straight and so forth. I spotted alot. But i never had any other symptoms until my tube bursted then i had severe pain in my abdomin, right side,up the right shoulder and my back. I could not move at all. I laid in bed and my hubby brought everything to me. I had no idea what was happening. It felt like anal though..i felt like my intestines ruptured or had a terd stabbing a nerve or something. Well it stopped the next day so i figured it was all ok for 4 days my stomach got real hard and sore and felt really wierd then the 5th day the pain came back again but not as bad. Went to the ER finally and found out i was internally bleeding for a whole week then went into shock pretty much right when i got there (on valentines day) i was in pretty bad condition. but had no insurance which is why i waited to see if it would go away and now im like 20,000 in debt..

I'm sorry. i had a tube removed due to the same thing. It's an upsetting thing to go through and i hope you soon heal.

I'm so sorry you are going through this...I don't have any real answers or experience BUT if it were me, I would need to wait and actually SEE with my own two eyes that something wasn't right (ex. in tubes)  Do you have a follow up ultrasound in a week?  If not, schedule one asap!
