Pregnancy of unknown location

My wife is undergoing fertility treatment with follicular scans and received an HCG trigger injection after ovulation. Before this, an SSG showed both tubes were open. Since around August 20, she has had persistent right-sided pelvic pain radiating to her hip, thigh, buttock and lower back. A UPT on August 27 was negative, but beta-hCG was 109 mIU/mL, with no pregnancy seen on ultrasound. It rose to 130 after 48 hours, then fell to 112 the next day when her pain worsened. TVS showed no intrauterine or ectopic pregnancy, but a 15 mm right corpus luteum cyst with some blood. The next beta-hCG rose to 233 mIU/mL. We are worried about a possible ectopic pregnancy because her beta-hCG is rising again, nothing is visible on TVS, and she continues to have daily moderate right-sided pain. We understand that open tubes do not rule out ectopic pregnancy. We will repeat beta-hCG tomorrow. Could this be an early intrauterine pregnancy, chemical pregnancy, ectopic pregnancy, or a corpus luteum

Brown fluid discarge

My wife is 20 years old and has noticed brown vaginal discharge/spotting for the first time. Her last period was approximately 15 days ago, whereas she usually notices any brown discharge 4–5 days after her period. This time it appeared around 15 days later. The discharge is minor and there is no unusual/foul smell. She has also mentioned that she does not drink enough water. A few days before this, during sexual activity, there was fairly vigorous external rubbing/fingering while she was still wearing jeans. There was no direct fingering inside the vagina underneath the clothing. We are worried whether the vigorous rubbing could have caused irritation or minor injury, or whether the brown discharge could simply be old blood or spotting for another reason. She has never experienced this before and is quite anxious about it. Could you please advise what the most likely causes are, whether this could be related to the sexual activity, and whether she needs an examination or any test
