Pregnancy of unknown location. Help I'm losing it

I am losing my mind. I found out I am pregnant a couple of weeks ago. I thought I was futher a long but EPU say I am 4 weeks and 6 days. I had a small amount of brown discharge on Monday and asked if I could be seen earlier in the EPU. I haven't had any discharge since. But have had back pain.

I was scanned by a sonographer yesterday who couldn't see a pregnancy. I was then scanned today by the consultant and I don't feel like the consultant told me everything, maybe there is nothing that she can say at the moment. But the report says:

There is blood within the endometrial cavity 16x5x20mm (is this a lot?), no obvious intrauterine sac seen. Next and lateral to right ovary is a paraovarian cyst with haemorrhagic components. Left ovary normal.

My hcg on Monday was 534 u/l and progesterone is 37.

Management as per PUL and to check hcg tomorrow

I already had my right fallopian tube removed about 3 months ago. I feel so emotional. The consultant just said that we won't know anything for definite until I have my bloods rechecked and that we either see a pregnancy in the uterus or somewhere else. I am so scared. If this is an ectopic I just want it dealt with now and not have to worry about more scans. I don't want to deal with this anymore. I feel like I'm not meant to have a baby and I should just give up trying now.

I'm assuming that if there is blood in my uterus that a pregnancy won't be viable.

To top it off my sister is 7 weeks pregnant with her 3rd baby and she is sending me scan photos. She doesn't know about my pregnancy and I would not tell her because in the past she's had a nasty way of throwing these things back in my face and I just couldn't deal with that.

Has anyone gone through anything similar?

So sorry to hear about your struggles, it's so difficult isn't it. When was the date of your last period? If you are 4 weeks 6 days as they say, then it would probably be too early to see anything anyway. I also lost my right tube this year due to an ectopic pregnancy. EPU won't scan me until 7 weeks as they want to make sure something could be seen.
Could the cyst be causing the brown discharge, if it has haemorrhagic components?
