Is the ectopic pregnancy true or a lie?

My girlfriend took 6 at home pregnancy tests - 4 were positive. she had blood drawn on a Friday. The nurse couldn't give us an exact diagnosis - only her own opinion on whether or not my girlfriend was pregnant. The doctor would call with an exact diagnosis that coming Monday. The nurse said HCG levels seemed to be 3. The next day my girlfriend was bleeding quite a bit and went to urgent care where she was told she was having a miscarriage. They sent her home. This was at a separate hospital than the one we went to to get blood drawn. The original doctor called and confirmed her levels were 3 or 4.

That Wednesday my girlfriend was back in urgent care due to severe abdominal pain and bleeding. They diagnosed it as an ectopic pregnancy and performed a salpingostomy. They didn't want to chance a fallopian tube rupturing. She was able to go home that same day.

i was only with her at the first hospital when her blood was drawn. What are the chances that this actually happened? Or that it was made up?
