Unhappy Increasing HCG/beta levels after miscarriage??

I got my BPF on June 9th, on June 22nd started spotting and by 24th bleeding heavily. Had internal ultrasound which showed no signs of gestation. Nurse done a pregnancy test which was positive and beta levels which were 132, exactly as they would have expected.

June 26th levels were 211, June 28th they were 286, July 1st they were 498. On July 1st I had another scan which again showed no signs of gestation but my lining was still approx 1cm and I had a 6cm cyst on my left ovary. This cyst wasn't picked up at the scan on 24th and I'd had a scan at the beginning of May as part of fertility investigations that showed that my ovaries were no longer enlarged and I had no cysts.

So now I'm in limbo, I've no idea what to think. Was I ever really pregnant or is my body playing tricks? Is the cyst causing my beta levels to increase? Why do I still have pregnancy symptoms?

Has this happened to anyone else?
