Low slow rising HCG levels

Hello, I'm looking for anyone with experience with low, slow rising HCG levels. I'm not feeling very hopeful as I've had a prior miscarriage and keep getting in my own head. My last menstrual cycle was 5/20/17 which would put me at 7w2d. My levels initially doubled but after the initial jump they have not been doubling in the expected timeframe and seem to be a little low. However, they are still rising which I'm happy about.
My levels are as follows:
6/23 - 4w6d - 67
6/30 - 5w6d - 1230
7/6 - 6w5d - 3839
7/10 - 7w2d - 5579

    What does your doctor say? 

    I have miscarried all pregnancies that the hcg was slow rising.  

    That was my experience.  Your doctor should give you more information.

    Why are they drawing the HCG so far apart? Why are they still drawing hcg instead of doing an ultrasound. At this point an ultrasound is a much better indicator of how the pregnancy is progressing.
    fwiw hcg rises slower once it exceeds 1000

    My doctors office wants levels to be over 6000 for the first US. I just got scheduled today for my US but the first opening isn't until 7/19 so I have to wait it out and my appointment with my dr won't be until after my US. 
    I reminded them again after my results on 7/6 of my last period date and I was told they were thinking I was earlier than that. They indicated it is a little low and with my numbers they are falling between 5&7 weeks. On occasion they have seen them not double, but unfortunately, it is a waiting game and they couldn't really say for sure.
    Yes, I'm aware the doubling time slows down after reaching a certain point but after 6 days it still hadn't doubled and should have by then.

    Are you sure of when you ovulated? When did you get a bfp? According to my last period I should be over ten weeks but I know I ovulated late and am only 8 weeks. Confirmed through ultrasound.

    I will add, your first to second checks do seem ok, if you figure based on the first number and double it every 48 hours it's right on. (Just now realizing I can't remember if it's supposed to double every 24 or 48 hours, which would obviously play a big part!)

    Waiting is the hardest part.  I sincerely hope you are one of the cases that slow rising hcg is ok.
