Ectopic

I've just been discharged from the hospital today. After several ultrasounds indicating an absence of an intrauterine gestational sac and a very high HCG beta (15000), It was determined that the pregnancy had lodged itself into my right tube. I underwent surgery yesterday to remove the tube. I now have one non-functioning tube remaining. I guess it's IVF or I just need to accept this and move on. Thanks for your support J. Hopefully you'll be luckier than me.
Still tripping off gen anesthesia. I'm gonna go take a nap now.

!!!BFP!!! but very confused here's why...

Since last week I've been experiencing something rather bizarre. My AF was due on the 4th but instead arrived on the 6th. Well okay, 2 days late, this is not unusual. It was a normal period. Anyway, it lasted for about 4 days then ended uneventfully. Well, about a week later I started spotting (never happened before). This was a very light pink flow that was pretty steady followed by some mild abdominal twinges. I scheduled an appt. with my GYN. The morning of the appointment, I dreamt I had a positive hcg on a pregnancy test, it was weird, but I just figured no worries, the gyn will inform me of anything. So she did an ultrasound and found that I had a cyst on one of my ovaries. She said it doesn't look like anything to be worried about and that I should come back in a couple of weeks to see if it's still there. She said the bleeding may be caused by stress. Fine. But something kept nagging me to do a preggo test. So after I left, I went to the pharmacy and purchased 2 tests. I found the nearest bathroom, peed on the stick and VOILA! Instantly 2 BRIGHT LINES! My heart started racing. I decided not to say anything to my fiance and later that night we went to a party. Afterwards when we got home, I went to the bathroom again with another hcg stick and ONCE AGAIN TWO BRIGHT LINES!
Now, 2 days later, I'm totally confused. How could I have had a period then tested positive? I know the light bleeding was totally out of the ordinary but this followed a real period. I'm hoping this is not a biochemical pregnancy, or a tubal. The bleeding has subsided a bit and I'm still getting twingy feelings in my abdomen. I should also mention that the week the spotting began I was moody as hell. I think I became the bitch from hell but I am calmer now.
I don't really know what's going on. I'm thinking I'll probably go buy some more sticks and see what happens or just wait. I'm afraid that if it's ectopic and I wait too long it may rupture the tube. I dunno what the heck's happening! Am I pregnant?
Silver lining
If this turns out to be just a chemical pregnancy, there is one silver lining. Maybe one of my tubes have been cleared. A meeting of sperm and egg have to have taken place. And for me, this is a breakthrough. I'm not quite sure what would have been the thing I did for this to happen. I recently started taking a much stronger dose of serrapeptase ( 90000 iu x3) a day. I also started taking the thiosinaminum I ordered and also another supplement called Astaxanthin as well as my daily ACV which is so cleansing. Whatever it is, something is working.
