Are my betas doing okay?

in Success after IF
This is the first time l have had to do beta blood work. MH and I have been TTC #2 for approximately 16 months. Our first born took almost a year to conceive. After a MMC in May of 2013, we kept trying with help from my OB. In November 2013, we made the decision to see an RE. On 12/22, we did an IUI and received BFPs on a FRER and a digital. My question though.... Are my betas okay? The first beta on 15dpiui was 134 and today beta was 217. I did them 39 hours apart. My doubling time is at 56 hours. I feel like I should have waited to do this second beta at 48 hours but didn't. I didn't have a chance to talk to the RE's nurse today but she left a message saying the beta was good. I plan to call tomorrow to set up another beta. Feeling a little paranoid after the loss in May.

    I also was told I have low AMH and TTC after 35 (I had my first at 36). Guess the worry of that as well has me concerned.
