HCG not doubling possible ectopic?

I went to get my tubes tied on 3/2 It failed cz apparently I have HUGE tubes and the rings they clamp them with were to small. I started bleeding on 3/13. No clots just a normal period. I called the DR on 3/27 to tell them I was still bleeding. I went in to get checked and load and behold I had a positive pregnancy test. The Dr did an internal and said I was prob only a week pregnant if that. I had some lab work and my HCG was at 3/27 43. On 4/2 it was at 105. Yesterday 128. I am going tomorrow morning for more Lab work. Could I be having a ectopic pregnancy? I am still bleeding, no abdominal pain, some hip pain, has anyone ever experienced this before?

I had an ectopic in March. My HCG was going up and sometimes doubling, but it was still low for when I got PG.  When I agreed to take the methotrexate, I still had some doubt but two weeks later, I had to go to the hospital and have my tube removed because it was bleeding into my abdomen. I never really had any pain until the evening I went to the hospital.  Even then, it wasn't intense.  Just a nagging ache in my side. That evening I started having chest pains which radiated out toward my armpit.  That is what really scared me and convinced me to go to the hospital.  Take care of yourself, and I hope it all turns out okay for you.

With my ectopic, my hcg was rising normally, but my progesterone was VERY low- less than 4. It did go up with supplements, but we later realized it was an EP.

I had a pos. pregnancy test (hcg 83) the week of March 19th. On the 24th they told me my hcg had dropped to 53 and that I was miscarrying again. Then on April 4th my hcg was 843. On April 6th it was 1534, then today April 9th it was 3,023. They think it is ectopic, but I don't have any pain or bleeding. Plus, every little pain I freak out!   I have a little pressure in my abdomen, but other than that, nothing.  When you had ectopic pregnancies, what did your hcg levels do? When I had an ultrasound on the 6th, they found a very small sac in my uterus, but they said it should be much bigger, and at 6 weeks they said they should see a heartbeat.   I am just not afraid it may be ectopic. Any help would be appreciated!
