HCG level question

I had my hcg levels checked monday and they were 45,456... yesterdays results are in and they are 58,464.  I know they are supposed to double every 48-72 hours, and  it was less that 48 hours from the first time.  The nurse said she thinks the numbers are good, but she will have the on call Dr (mine is out of town) call me later to say if they are ok with those numbers. Would you be worried?  I am just being overly worried since I had two MC's before by two DS's were born.

    As the levels get higher they don't double as rapidly.

    HCG levels off around 100,000 which is usually around 10 weeks.  Doubling time slows after the first four weeks.

    Copied this from obfocus.com - Beta hCG levels usually double approximately every 2 days for the first four weeks of pregnancy [1]. As  pregnancy progresses the doubling time increases. By 6 to 7 weeks gestation beta hCG levels may take as long as 3 1/2 days to double.

    Only your doctor can tell you for sure what he thinks of these numbers, but I wouldn't get too worried.  Hang in there - I've had m/c's also and know how stressful it is.
