I had the same thing happen with my second pg (although not the best outcome but definitely not always the case). So long as it doubles within 72 hours it's considered normal (at these lower HCG levels...once it's above 1200 or 1500 it takes even longer to double). Your numbers are fine...good luck on Monday!!

Listen, my first beta was 17 and 48 hours later it was 25. There was NO EVIDENCE ON THE WHOLE OF THE INTERNET that there was even the tiniest possibility of a viable pregnancy after a 30-some percent raise like that. It shot up and as of this Wednesday there was a whole baby in there moving around.
I think I also had a later one that was in the hundreds that went up more like 70% or something. I hear stories all the time about non-doubling betas that turned out fine.

I'm keeping my fingers crossed that everything is fine but I bet it is!
I also just realized my math was totally screwed up (lol) but regardless that first raise for me was significantly lower than it should have been, especially starting so low. (I mean how hard can it be to double 17?). And the internet was not encouraging but the real-life stories starting pouring in when I talked to people - so many of whom had healthy babies with less than doubling betas.
