Pregnant after a Loss

Hi ladies,
[UPDATE in OP] T&Ps for Beta #4
BookishMomma

UPDATE WITH BETA #4! Thank you to all who have stalked and checked in. Seriously. I could not get through this without you.
HCG is up to 1108, from 284 last week. Just so y'all don't have to do math in your heads, that's a doubling time of 85 hours. So, for posterity's sake (since I really hope I end up being one of those low & slow beta success stories), here's my whole set. FWIW, I was not temping this cycle, just using OPKs and fertility monitor. So I know my week estimates could be off by a couple of days.
Beta #1 at 4w0d - 61
Beta #2 at 4w2d - 113 (doubling time of 54 hours)
Beta #3 at 4w6d - 284 (doubling time of 72 hours)
Beta #4 at 5w6d - 1108 (doubling time of 85 hours)
Am I concerned that the doubling time is slowing down? Yes. But the nurse from my RE's office was very positive about it and said they are satisfied with these numbers. I am more skeptical, but I am holding onto hope that maybe this little bean is just a very laid back kiddo and will catch up in his/her own time. Stranger things have happened. I am glad the numbers are still going up and that I have not had any spotting, cramping, or pain. Today I am pregnant and I love my baby.
---------------------------------------------------
[OP below]
I could use some positive thoughts and prayers for tomorrow. My betas have been on the lowish and slowish side (61 at 4w, 112 at 4w2d, and 284 at 4w6d -- with doubling times of 54 and 71.85 hours, respectively). I waited a full week to get my next draw to give my levels a chance to (hopefully!) rise and for Baby Bookish to do his/her thing and grow. I go in for my 4th draw first thing tomorrow morning. I really need the number to be like 1450 or above to know that things are progressing. I could use some T&Ps for a nice high number.
Thanks so much. The support you all have shown me has been amazing!

To hopefully ease a little worry: I had slow rising low betas at first - then they suddenly jumped and here I am nearing 27 weeks. Wishing you the same.
