Was your HCG doubling time more than 48 hours?

I got my 2nd beta today and it was 147.  I was hoping it would be about 200.  I looked at betabase and it said my doubling time was 54.  Should I worry?

 Oh, and my progesterone was 15.7.  Is that good?

Baby #1: 19 cycles, failed IUI, and 1 + IVF 3-5-07
Baby #2: 12 cycles, 1 failed FET, natural miracle but m/c at 9 weeks then another natural miracle that stuck! 9-30-09

TTC #3 - 4 cycles - no BFP yet!

    I don't know much about progesterone, but my #2 beta didn't double perfectly in 48 hours.  I think it was more like 56 hours.  My 3rd beta really shot up and here I am 5 weeks from my little guy!  Good luck!

    My RE just wanted to see an increase of 60% and said it can take anywhere from 48-72 hours to double. You are still within that timeframe...sounds good to me!!

    That is still in the 72 hour doubling range.  No worries just yet!  Besides....on my first pregnancy my beta TRIPLED in 48 hours over and over and over again and I still m/ced on my second pregnancy it doubled in 48 but barley and well...she is 8 months old! =)

    My doubling time was around 56 hours on average. Try to keep positive, the normal rate of doubling is within 72 hours so I think you are doing great!

    My second beta didn't double in 48 hours.  My RE's office said that it was fine though.

    You are good. As long as it is under 72 hours you are fine. As for the progesterone, 15 is ok. They don't get concerned until it is under 10 but over 20 is the best. Just make sure they keep an eye on it at your next beta in case you need a supplement.
