I'm new to this thread. I'd like to say before I dive into my story that I've been reading it since I was diagnosed with an ectopic on July 26th, and it helped me so much during that horrible time. It was so reassuring to know that other women were struggling with the same things I was, and still am, going through. I am so sorry for everyone's losses.
I got methotrexate (one shot in my arm) on July 27th. My levels were in the 600s. They saw a mass (2 cm) in my left tube or on my left ovary (they couldn't be sure which) and my levels had been bouncing around in the 600 range all week. I also experienced brown spotting/bleeding. I've been pregnant before (which resulted in my dd, who is now 6) and I knew something was up with this pregnancy. That didn't make the loss any easier, however. It was so traumatic.
I'm hoping someone can help provide some insight to my situation right now.
On August 21st, I had my first af after the methotrexate. Then, on August 30th, my beta hcg was a 3. Then, on September 20th, I got my second af, right when I should have, as my cycles have always been 30 days.
Two weeks after my last period started, on October 5th, I started bleeding again. This is my third day on this (pseudo?) af. It's an odd period, too, very dark (brown and black flow) and thick, but it's not very heavy. Reminds me of my bcp periods or my bleeding during my ectopic. I took an hpt and it was negative (thankfully!). I have no idea what's up. I've NEVER had midcycle bleeding before. What's weirder is that my temps have been 98 degrees since my last period. No fluctuations. I know my thermometer isn't broken too, as I've used my backup bbt thermometer to verify and then taken my temperatures after various activities and seen it change.
Does anyone have any experience with this? I'm quite perplexed and a bit worried, too.

Unfortunately I cannot offer you as advice, I don't remember any mid-cycle bleeding other than implantation bleeding, but yours sounds too dark to be that.....but I could be wrong. If you are really worried then call the doctors, just for reassurance.
How terrifying! You're still SUPER early, so hopefully it's just a function of that. I'll keep everything crossed for you that things will turn out well.
