HCG levels & faint lines

Hi!
Help needed and much appreciated Smile
I got a few days of very faint positives (squint under the light faint) on cheap tests that are 20mIU/ml, so I brought the first response that are 6.3mIU/ml and got a strong positive. Am I correct in thinking that means that my hcg levels are less than 20? Or are they completely unrelated numbers? I’ve tested with the cheapies since and it’s got ever so slightly darker over the last 3 days but no where near as dark as I would expect. Midwife won’t see me until 8 weeks. I’m roughly 5 give or take a week as my cycle can be between 27-32 days and not tracking ovulation as I was told I couldn’t conceive naturally.
After 7 years TTC and an ectopic and tube removal, I was told my only tube was blocked. I have read about women who’s tubes were not blocked after all but that the ‘dye’ they flush you with can cause the tube to spasm. What’s the chances this is ectopic? I ‘feel’ pregnant, I’m constantly hungry and/or nauseated, sore boobs and everything else exciting lol, I have no bleeding since what I suspect was implantation bleed (tiny bleed) 2 weeks ago and only the mildest of cramps when I’m walking etc. Is it still possible I could have a healthy pregnancy? Unfortunately I blocked out most of my previous experience, it was quite horrific and a long time ago, I don’t remember if I had any symptoms other than bloating and bleeding, do you still have the same symptoms with healthy pregnancy and ectopic? And can I tell an ectopic from the tests? Is there any connection between home tests and blood test levels?
Any help ideas or experiences very welcome thanks Smile
