Don't know what to think I'm an emotional mess

I tested positive a week today very faint and 5 days before my period was due.
The day after I tested positive Friday last week I started to bleed like a period for 3 days, then I carried on testing positive on a pregnancy test so had bloods done Monday this week my HCG was 37 and Progesterone 6.9. Dr said he thought it was a chemical pregnancy.
Had repeat bloods done yesterday (48hrs after the first lot) and my HCG has in fact risen to 138.
I'm now being referred for a scan and more HCG bloods on Tuesday next week.

I'm a mess and don't know what to think.
I was so sure it was a chemical pregnancy last weekend now I don't know what's going on.

My Dr said I could be very early in pregnancy and the bleed was implantation but I didn't think you could get a positive hcg test until after implantation? I tested positive the day before I bled.
He said it could be that I was pregnant with twins but now there is only one.
Or it could be ectopic.

Can anyone share their knowledge or experience please on what you think may be going on, do my HCG levels indicate a normal rise if I was pregnant? I would be 5 weeks.

Or possibly 4 weeks as I don't know when I ovulated.

lots of people bleed after getting a positive. It could be implantation, it could just be one of those things.

Hi there, unfortunately for me it ended up being an ectopic pregnancy which was such a shock to ourselves and to the doctors as my hcg was rising lovely.
Baby was seen at 7.5 weeks on a scan in my right tube with a heart early so I had to have emergency surgery to remove 😔
