Pre placental hemetoma

Am 32 years old and currently 26 weeks pregnant. I have been having intermittent brown discharge since 15 weeks, managed with Duphaston and progesterone suppositories. Despite a normal ultrasound back then, the spotting recurred every 10 days starting at 20 weeks (clearing within a day), so I was started on weekly progesterone injections. My 22-week anomaly scan was completely normal with no internal bleeding reported. ​However, on August 31 (at 25 weeks), after an episode of  vomiting, I experienced moderate brown bleeding (more than light spotting). I was hospitalized, and a scan revealed a preplacental hematoma (4.5 cm length × 1 cm depth) with a closed cervix. I received 4 doses of Dexamethasone and was discharged after 3 days. ​I am feeling very anxious aCould the recurrent spotting I've had since 15 weeks have been caused by this hematoma? If so, why was it not visible on earlier ultrasounds, including the 22-week anomay.does this hemetoma increase the size any prrterm chance?

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
