I'd repeat Beta-hCG in one week if no symptoms of an ectopic. Beside, I thought about 30% of ectopics will spontaneously resolve. -- Richard Chudacoff, MD A person who won't read has no advantage over one who can't read. Mark Twain I don't read newspapers.

Repeat hCG level in 48 hours, if she's asymptomatic. The ovarian cyst could be just that, a cyst. The pregnancy may be elsewhere. What route was the ultrasound - abdominal or vaginal?
