Anyone else have low starting betas?

in Pregnant after IF
My first beta was Friday and it was 20. I believe I was 11 or 12dpo. I keep comparing to others & I'm scared. Shouldn't it be higher?
My chemical one we lost in Feb was only an 8 at initial so this one is higher but still scared... Thoughts? Experience?

    I started with a 29 on 12dpiui and it almost tripled for y next two. It's all about the doubling!

    4 IUIs (chlomid) in 2013 which resulted in DS born in April 2014

    TTC #2 since August 2015

    5 rounds of IUIs (1 chlomid: resistent, 1 femara, 3 gonal f) = all BFN

    ER March 9: 26 eggs retrieved, 19 mature and 17 fertilized, 8 made it to genetic testing, 4 normal!

    FET #1 5/31 = BFN

    FET#2 7/26 = BFP!

    My 1st beta was 39.6. My doc wasn't concerned they just said that it just meant I was a late implanter. Good luck! Hope your next beta shows its all growing and doubling as it should!
