HCG dropped 50% at 6w

My husband and I had been trying for awhile but decided to take a break because we were taking a 16 day international trip

While on the trip, I thought I had a light period (4days of brown bleeding). came home from the trip terribly sick with the flu and was throwing up. A week later I was feeling off and pretty nauseous all day so I took a couple pregnancy tests and all were blaring positives

I was worried about this being ectopic because of the period-like bleeding and because I was having some persistent cramping on my left side, so my dr ordered some HCG tests. At 5w5d my HCG was 167 and progesterone was 10. Dr told me those numbers were “reassuring” and refused to schedule an ultrasound (despite me repeatedly asking)

Now 48 hours later at 6w0d, my HCG dropped to 52. I’m assuming that means this is a loss or nonviable.

Doctor hasn’t called me to discuss yet. Do I push for an ultrasound to rule out ectopic? The side pain has been continuing. Is there any chance this goes back up?
