The beta levels are better judged as "good" if there is a second number to see if they are doubling. And progesterone is a "pulsatory" hormone, as my RE says, so you may not have caught it at it's peak and the 6 was just a low.
My betas were 34 at 3w4d (11dpo) and 87 at 3w6d (13dpo).

I would be concerned about the progesterone. What did the doctor say? Are you on any progesterone supplements? My friend was at 7 her first pregnancy right around 5 weeks, and her dr made her get progesterone suppositories asap.
After 2+ years and multiple treatment cycles, including an IVF vacation in Costa Rica/Panama, IVF #2 brought us our miracle baby!

Ditto this.
At 10dpo, my progesterone was 18, and beta was 53
15dpo prog >20, beta 230
18dpo prog >20, beta 1005
5w5d prog had dropped to 11.8 and beta was >5000
Once it dropped to 11.8 they started me on progesterone suppositories immediately.
Progesterone does vary, and it's higher in the morning than the afternoon or evening. Are you spotting at all? Hopefully you can retest or ask if they recommend progesterone supplementation. Good luck!
