(this of course is not MY doctor. MY doctor is the one that sent me to the specialist... got me in in an "emergency" next day appointment because she knows I have a big family history of cancer. He was completely nonchalant about it.)

Heh... I was trying to keep my opinion of my ER visit to myself (because I fully realize this is a Pregnancy Due Date club and I should probably now be posting in the birth loss forum), but they didn't help my already negative view of them (due to my sons birth experience).
The ultrasound tech actually asked me "so... why are you here?" with a snarky attitude. Not only had I already talked to 4 people about it at this point in the ER, they had my chart with all of the information IN THEIR HANDS, and my midwife called the ER and the OB/GYN there several times and offered to fax information. When I responded... "uh... because the previous scan I had showed that I had a verified/high possibility (depending on who you talked to) of an ectopic pregnancy and I was TOLD to come here by YOUR OB/GYN to 'take care of it'" and YOUR OB/GYN is the one who TOLD me she was sending me to you for another scan." The tech gave me a blank stare and said "I guess I just don't understand why I have to do another scan for you". Because lady, that's your job and the OB/GYN ordered it... so just do it without the 'tude.
Anyway, luckily everyone else was really nice.
Although, nice doesn't change the fact that none of my questions were really answered, and no one seemed even half interested in giving me resources or people to contact to look into it further.
The only thing I was told beyond what I've written here so far is "not to worry about it" and to "wait 1 cycle before trying to conceive again".
None of which answer my questions about the possibilities of what it could be, the risks/dangers of it (and being told it's ok because I don't have pain is not good enough), if/how it could affect any further fertility/issues with my right side, could a mass like this cause issues with a pregnancy or possibly CAUSE a real ectopic pregnancy? (etc.)
I was half tempted to pretend I had sudden pain so they would, at the very least, attempt to do something to help - even if it was only giving me a phone number of a person I could call who would try/could help. I'm thanking my lucky stars that my midwife is being proactive and helping me the best she can even though it's not really her "job".
So although I would really love to TTC again as soon as I'm "allowed" because apparently "everything is fine", a huge part of me can not take that as an answer and I would feel really irresponsible about TTC again without having better answers.
