Results are in.... My Third Beta #s

Ladies,
I had my third beta draw this morning and just got my results. My last beta on Friday, 4/26 was 52 and today it went to 114. My progesterone was 42. Please tell me that there is some hope here.
According to the beta doubling calculator I just used, I am within the range of 69.2% doubling time (48-72 hours.) I am feeling more hopeful, but scared to be in beta hell. I have another draw on Wednesday and can only hope it doubles or more.
I know some ladies have really slow embies to start and hope that I am one of them. Are there any ladies out there with success stories on low rising and slow to start betas? I could sure use some encouragement and doubling vibes.
Thanks for your support.
Me, 41; DH 38; TTC since July 2012, 1st round of Clomid, BFP on 10/19, what an incredible blessing! M/c on 7w3d; D&C on 11/30; 4th round of Clomid 100mg = BFP on 04/19!!! M/c #2 at 7w; D&C on 5/30, then repeat D&C on 7/1. Saline u/s on 8/2, uterus looks great! Will start TTC in 09/13 w/ Clomid 100mg. Surprise natural BFP on 8/25!!! Beta #1=95, #2=182, #3=404! EDD 5/4/13...Grow baby grow!

Whooo hooo for the nice number
I am sending a ton of lucky dust your way. Depending on how many weeks you are maybe they can skip the beta hell and do an ultra sound? This pregnancy I haven't had 1 beta draw (thank God) just went right to the confirmation and dating ultrasound at roughly 6 weeks.
Keep us posted I'm rooting for you. Keep up the good work!
My betas doubled but weren't amazing this time. My SIL's with her 2nd child were HORRIBLE and very very slow to rise-- and my nephew is going to be 2 soon. My sister's 2nd child's first beta was so low that the doc and nurse both said she should prepare to lose the child-- and he just turned 6.
Hang in there. Take the time to try and enjoy being pregnant for now and send good thoughts and energy to your embie, if you can do that. If you can't, then just breathe and take it one day at a time. I know that's hard, but there's not much you can do at this point but wait it out-- which totally sucks, I know.
I'll be sending you good juju... ((hugs))

Ladies,
Thank you for the encouragement and support
If I were to stop the betas and just move to u/s, do you mean like in 2-3 weeks? Right now, u/s would not show anything, correct? I got the impression that they wanted me to keep having the draws until a firm conclusion could be drawn.
Daniele, thank you for sharing your sister's beta stories...this is very encouraging!!
Hydrangea-I'm late to the thread but my betas were so low with this PG that I didn't get a positive HPT for a while. They are posted in my bio. Nurse at my RE office wasn't discouraging but wasn't overly optimistic either and I'm almost to the end of my PG! Good luck and I'll be sending you tons of doubling vibes!

Everyone,
I can't tell you how much I appreciate your support. I am trying so hard to remain positive and not become totally consumed by these darn beta's; but as you all know that is easier said than done!!!
