Very sorry for what you are going through, Cali. It's so nerveracking, I know. I went through much of what you are going through with both of my miscarriages. Lots of u/s, blood draws, etc.
I'm wondering, did they not do a quantatative hcg? I think you should see if you could have that done, right away, then 3-4 days later, just to see where your numbers are. In your case that may be a better indicator of what is going on. Unless you know without a doubt when you got pregnant, the u/s wouldn't be 100% accurate. If you have irregular periods, then it may be hard to know exactly when you ovulated.
As far as this man, well I don't have much nice to say about him. If he was so dead set about getting another woman pregnant, then he should have used precautions, and more than one. Regardless how he feels about this baby, he is as accountable as you are. Sounds like he's a real tool, and you'd be better off without him. I hope that regardless what happens here, you don't see him anymore.
Do yourself a favor and pick up Toni Weshler's Taking Charge of Your Fertility. It's a great book detailing how to read the cues from your body, how to figure out when you're ovulating, what each hormone means and does for the body, etc. When we were trying to have our last child, I used her book and got pregnant on our first try.
Keep us posted as you are able. Actually, our board is being closed next week due to lack of traffic, but you can email me at totally.brie@gmail.com if you want to talk or whatever.
Hang in there, and try to get the blood test.
Big hugs,
