Ectopic pregnancy!: Your beta plateau is very concerning for ectopic pregnancy - a life threatening emergency. Alternatively, incomplete abortion with some residual products of conception in utero is possible. In either case, go to the er and seek gynecological emergency care because you could be at risk for your life/health. Take care!
