FET followed by slow rise, low # hcg

Hi everyone. I had a fresh IVF cycle a few years ago and have 3 year old daughter. Since then I had an FET that resulted in an ectopic and another FET that ended with an early miscarriage. We recently transferred our last frozen embryo and are scheduled for an ultrasound on Wednesday. My numbers are really low and doubling very slowly and the clinic has been quite discouraging. Here are my #s:
3w6d: 35
4w1d: 75
4w3d: 158
5w1d: 535
5w3d: 965
5w6d: 1448
My estradiol and progesterone are both in normal range.
Anyone with any experience with a similar situation that might be able to encourage me? Or give me some good cold hard facts? I'm just so nervous about this ultrasound- having flashbacks to the one where we found out we had an ectopic pregnancy which was just awful.
TIA

    I was never too much of an expert on betas...but your numbers 4w1d - 5w1d seem really encouraging.  The first draw seems really early and the doubling rate only seems to have slowed after 5w3d.  I can think of at least 3-4 ladies off the bat who had borderline slow rising beta numbers and are about to have healthy babies.  

    Good luck tomorrow!  If the embryo is measuring close to on track, I'd go off that moreso than beta numbers.  I can't remember the hcg cut-off number, but I know after a certain point the doubling rate slows down.

    I only got 3 betas at the beginning. 11dpiui was 15, 13dpiui was 34, and 16dpiui was 176. I think you are probably ok as long as they keep rising :)
