Thank you for sharing your question with the EmpowHER community! I am really glad to hear that you have an appointment with your OB on Monday to get an accurate medical exam. You mentioned that you thought it could be a miscarriage, ectopic pregnancy etc. etc. You asked for my best guess and again, it is only my guess as your doctor will give you a proper diagnosis-but it sounds to me like a possible miscarriage. If it was an ectopic pregnancy, the pregnancy tests would still have detected the pregnancy hormone and would have given you a positive result.
If the pain and irregular bleeding is due to a cyst, an ultrasound will certainly confirm this. In the meantime, try to continue resting and if the bleeding changes, worsens or the pain increases, you can always go to the urgent care.
