Default Ectoptic Pregnancy?!?! WTF?!?! poss. tmi?

I am not sure if any of you read my last post about my miscarriages but so far this would be my fifth one. It started last Wednesday and last thursday i went to the ER where they confirmed it was a miscarriage and they did an ultrasound and said everything looked good and it looked like my uterus had cleaned itself out. They gave me medicine to slow down the bleeding and it finally came almost to a stop on Sunday. Monday night i started having some pretty sharp pains which were pretty intense. Went to the doc on tuesday morning because i started bleeding real bad and passing clots. They did an ultrasound and said everything looked good on the ultrasound (my doc is out of town so i had to see her partner). They sent me home and told me that if the pain started to get worse to call them and go straight to the ER because it could be a possible infection. She thought that i had a ruptured cyst. yesterday the pain was getting worse so i called them and askedwhat to do and they told me to go to the ER. of course i did not listen i tried to stay home and see if it would start to subside but really i just slept and slept until this morning. Got up and it was pretty bad. i somehow drove myself to the ER even though i can barely stand up. it took an hour and a half for the ER nurse to even come in. One of their interns came in and asked if i had gotten the urine sample and i said no one even said anything to me yet. Gave them that and then they finally came in and i talked to the doctor and at first he said what all ER docs always say..."its probably just a urinary tract infection"...they did an ultrasound and blood work just to be on the safe side. When i was in the ultrasound room i noticed that they were paying ALOT of attention to the side that my pain was really localized on. It started to scare me because the tech looked concerned. The pain was so so so intense whent they did the stomach ultrasound because they put a catheter in and shot an ass load of water into me then drained it all out. and when they did the trans vaginal it hurt bad. I have never had an ultrasound hurt me before. finally when they were done they rolled me back to my room and i was in so much pain the ultrasound lady actually tracked down my nurse and made them give me something for the pain because since i had been there for like four hours they had not given anything at all just fluids. They finally gave me a shot of morphine which actually helped a little. I could still feel some pain but it was actually bearable at that point. The ER Doc came in a little while later and said that he called me doctors office and that i have an emergency appointment with them in the morning because he noticed that my left ovary is very very swolen. He was concerned as to why nothing had been showing on my previous ultrasounds. HE told me that it looks like i have an ectoptic pregnancy and it may be localized in my ovary!! WTF?! i was pretty out of it so i really didnt ask questions and he left. Took them about another 45 minutes after that to come in and ask what medicined i had been given and i told them i was given a shot of nausea medicine in my IV and also a shot of morphine. Even though the morphine had pretty much worn off i had to call and have someone come get me. It took them like an hour to get there because my fiance's mom had to come all the way from Azle which is 30 minutes away from out house and go pick up him so someoone coule drive my dakota home. So my question is what now??? The pain is getting worse and worse. They gave me a perscription for pain reliever and some antibiotics for a UTI which i did have. I lost the paper somewhere in the hospital and we looked all over and they would not give me another one. They were so rude!! I have never had such a worse experience with an ER in my life. usually they are some of the most helpful people around. My mom is taking me to the doctor in the morning and i am scared as to what they are going to tell me. They ER doc said my ovary was swelled up pretty bad. if that is so why did they not do anything there?! they sent me home and then would not even give me my medicine when it was lost. My docs office called and left a message while i was there saing to come in at 10:45 in the morning and that they did not have any pull at that branch of harris methodist and said that i should have gone to the hospital down town. I would not have been able to drive all that way i was in so much pain. I am scared and i dont know what to do. I dont know what to ask and if they are going to do surgery or if they are just going to give me medicine. I dont understand why they let me go home. I cant move, i cant walk, they only way i am even remotely confortable is laying flat on my back. Pain relievers dont help at all. I even tried vicodin which i was given last week at the hospital and it does not put a dent in the pain it just makes me sleep. How come they have not seen this before. I just had an ultrasound on tuesday and she said there was nothign there. I wish my doctor was back because she definately would not have let this slide. She wont be back until next week. I am in so much pain and i am stressing which i know makes it worse but i cant help it. I thought this would be over by now. I have only worked one day this week! i cant afford all of this. that why im pissed this was not found earlier. gosh i just hate this. Everything bad happens at one. When it rains it pours. I was so scared that i was going to get fired! i had a long talk with my boss and they told me to take as much time as i need and my job would be waiting for me. Most people would never do that. I am so thankful for them because the girls have been so helpful. and i am also thankful for you guys. I have gotten so much support from this board! I just wish i could get better. It took so long for me to find the right doctor. I went through so many years of "this is normal" "birth control will help"(it didnt) "your young, it will go away on its own". No one had even done any tests. I was raped when i was younger and they told me that the pain i felt was just me "having flashbacks". I am sorry. I am telling my life story haha. If anyone has any information on this please let me know. and thanks in advance. I will keep you guys posted.
