Potential Ectopic Pregnancy

Looking for some advice.
I am 29 and currently on second round of IVF, frozen transfer.
First transfer was unsuccessful. This transfer we had our first positive 5DP5DT. However I was concerned my tests weren’t progressing as they should so the clinic did blood tests.
HCG levels are below:
11DP5DT = 81
13DP5DT = 99
16DP5DT = 132
19DP5DT = 320
21DP5DT = 543
hospital are now worried about possible ectopic pregnancy because numbers are not I creasing as expected. I have had no pain or bleeding.
Looking for any similar situations as online propels HCG seems to be really high or really low and I seem stuck at a mid level.

Oh bless you. I think unfortunately those numbers pretty much guarantee a pregnancy that is unable to continue. I know that they worry about ectopics when numbers are not really increasing much but also not falling either. Im not sure what the next steps will be as not been there before but I would trust what the EPU are saying as (sadly) this is what they do day in day out.

Sending you a big hug. I've had a lot of ivf failures and loss and it is just the absolute shittest thing to go through. X

Thank you, I appreciate the honesty. We had given up all hope but with numbers starting to increase it’s hard to not get your hopes up.
We have a second scan tomorrow but I assume won’t be able to see anything as Thursdays scan was inconclusive and don’t think much will have changed.
