Low and slow rising beta after FET, second line getting darker

Hello

I had FET transfer on Monday, 9th of May. That Sunday I thought I'll do pregnancy test at home. I got so slight second line I could barely see but it was there. Did another on Tuesday, it was slightly darker. I went to do a blood test on Wednesday because official test was meant to be on Friday and wanted to have already a number to compare. Test I did on Wednesday, beta was only 28.1. I thought okay, that is low but as I read it was important to double. Did urine test again on Thursday, but the second line hadn't gone much darker. Blood test on Friday was only 34.93 so nurse told me that I can stop my estrofem and progesterone and it should resolve itself because numbers are so low. Few hours later she called again because my doctor wanted to give another blood test on Tuesday to be sure it isn't ectopic. I thought today that urine test should have gone lighter and so tried again. This time the line is gotten much darker although I ended my estrofem and progesterone on Friday.
What should I expect? Ectopic? Chemical? When should period start? Will it start if the line is darker? I know I get some answers on Tuesday but as I am not that patient then I hope that maybe someone has some similar experience to share.
Thank you!

Hello, I am really sorry to hear about what you are going through. I can't really answer your question, but understand your pain. I experienced a chemical pregnancy during one of my ivf cycles. I did a blood test, think it was 9 days after transfer and my beta was 30. Had another blood test a couple of days later and my beta had dropped further. About a week or two later I had heavy painful bleeding. Was a very hard time for us.
However, 2 months later my next ivf cycle was a blessing and I know have my dear son. ❤
I wish you all the best OP
