HELLO DEAR
I understand your problem, you should concern gynaecologist immediately to confirm whether you are pregnant or not and to rule out ectopic pregnancy . your scan report saying fetus while your doctor saying fluid in pouch of douglas which can be due to ectopic, PID etc so immediately concerned gynaecologist. ALL the best
Thanks
