Is there hope?

Hi all,
I'm worried sick about my betas. Here they are...

This is my 4th pregnancy --#1 resulted in dd born 9/03, #2 was ectopic and #3 was a missed miscarriage at 7 weeks, 2 days. I am terrified that this is also going to end up a miscarriage. The RE wasn't in today but his nurse says, "don't worry, the numbers will start to slow down as your pregnancy progresses. They really should still be doubling now, but lets see what happens at the u/s on Thursday. That's a better indicator." I hate the waiting -- last time around we didn't see a hb at 6 weeks and had to wait another week before they determined that it wasn't a viable pg. Do you think I have any hope???

I'm by no means an expert but your numbers look fine to me. Your nurse is correct, as the pregnancy progresses, the doubling time slows down, however, I read that the doubling time begins to slow down once the levels reach 1200. Good luck at your u/s on Thursday and please give us an update.

P.S. My numbers slowed down like yours and I am currently 33 weeks pg.
