Success with low betas?

in Pregnant after IF
Hi girls, I am pregnant after my first round of IVF. I have had 3 prior miscarriages, so while I am excited to be pregnant I am very cautious. My betas have been low, but have been doubling. 8dp6dt- 84 10dp6dt- 172 12dp6dt-329. The dr is not concerned and we scheduled an ultrasound for the 30th. Please tell me your low beta success stories:)

    Yours look great! When mine was "too low" it was only 35 at 9dp5dt. I think 84 sounds great! They told me they were looking for anything over 50!

    My first beta was 14@ 10dpo, so early and I did iui. I was super worried. My next 48hrs later was 99. So obviously doubling and I'm pg with twins.

    I know it's hard when the numbers are low but they really have to start somewhere.
