Back at the doctor's.

After two beta hCG tests, the first last Monday and the other two days afterwards, we went back to the gynecologist for a follow-up last Thursday morning.

She told us that my hCG levels were low but that they had risen - not doubled, as they usually should during a normal pregnancy, but risen, in any case. The sac had not grown, and she could not be sure that it was actually in the uterus. Given those factors and several other symptoms, she thought there was a high enough risk of ectopic pregnancy to send me directly to the hospital. 

So off we went.
