Success after IF

Trying not to worry but....

So my husband have finally gotten pregnant after many years and this is my first pregnancy through IVF.  My RE keeps telling me that HCG levels are a bit lower than what he would like them to be at but they are increasing.  They look like this:

14 dpo - 27
16 dpo - 47
19 dpo - 160
22 dpo - 410

On day 20 & 21 dpo I noticed some light pink/brown spotting and then on day 22 dpo my spotting was red and had increased.  The blood was not flowing and it would only appear when I wiped.  The bleeding tapered off and pretty much stopped in the afternoon and evening but it started again this morning and now it seems to have tapered off again.  I go back on Monday for another HCG test to see where I'm at but I'm really hoping that it wont end in an miscarriage.

Looking for some helpful insights

    Agreed. Your numbers are doubling appropriately and bleeding with IVF is very common. Like pp said, if it gets really heavy and doesn't let up or you have bad cramps, then I would worry. But otherwise, today you are pregnant!
