My RE wants to see doubling every 72 hours, not 48. He rarely even tests at 48 hours. If I did the math right then your betas are on track to double within that 72 hour period. I wouldn't say it's bad news yet. Hang in there. The waiting is the worst part.
It's certainly not what you want to hear, but we've definitely had slow rising beta success stories here. I would focus on the fact that they are rising for now and try to stay calm and wait for the next draw (although I totally know that may be impossible). Come on, LO, grow! ((HUGS))

Keep your head up! Believe me, I know it's tough. I got the "too low" call on Friday morning. Sending you lots of T&Ps and tons of doubling dust! {HUGS}

Hi bud....just wanted to tell you to try not to worry. Like pp said some Dr's don't even test every 48 hours. I'll be watching for your update FX for your LO.

You're doubling every 69 hours, and normal is every 31-72. So, they're slow, but still within normal range. (I used this site to calculate: https://www.countdowntopregnancy.com/tools/beta_doubling_calculator.php )
I'm sending lots of good vibes your way. I hope the next set of betas looks better and everything works out for you and your LO!
Ditto! GL!
