This is not real good news, as with vag probe u/s you should see gs in uterus by 1500 hcg, and most say around 1000. Now, is it in your tube or not? I suspect mondays quant will be very revealing. If hcg has really climbed, get another u/s asap to see where preg is. If hcg drops, you can probably watch and wait.
