Sorry it is a confusing time. So, they are suspecting that if you were pregnant, that there is an issue. I'm so sorry about that. The HCG level checks will confirm it. If you have a specific number and go back and it is decreasing, they know you were pregnant but are losing the baby. OR they can then begin watching for an ectopic as something is going on that tips them off that there is an issue. Ectopic pregnancies are life threatening so important to determine. Before the age of early detection home pregnancy tests, women never even knew they were pregnant and they'd just call it a weird month or period. Nowadays, women have chemical pregnancies that cause great confusion. So, they are being sure that they aren't missing something (as in this is all for nothing and you are indeed pregnant with HCG growing slower than what they normally see), that you are miscarrying, that you were never pregnant (if the hcg level comes back completely negative), or if you are having an ectopic pregnancy.
I'm sure it is all very stressful. Let us know what happens, okay? hugs
