Anyone have doubling betas the 1st week and then they slowed down the 2nd week and have a good pregnancy or should I prepare for another m/c? TIA

We had 2 years of IF trying to conceive #2 and one loss during that time. We are currently trying for #3! had another loss the end of June
As your beta hCG levels get higher, they take longer to double. I found this chart on babymed.com (and have seen the same numbers on a few other websites):

NORMAL HCG DOUBLING TIMES
HCG Levels
DOUBLING TIME EXPECTED
Under 1,200 mIU/ml
Between 30 and 72 Hours
1200-6000 mIU/ml
Between 72 and 96 Hours
Over 6,000 mIU/ml
Over 96 Hours
This, is normal for them to slow as they get higher.
