In early pregnancy the actual number isn't as important as the doubling time. If you're having another beta done Monday then what your doctor will mostly be looking for is that your hCG has doubled appropriately during that time. hCG doubling should be occurring at least every 72 hours.

If your doctor didn't seem concerned then I wouldn't be too concerned. Pregnancy is scary! No one prepares you for how helpless you will feel knowing there is absolutely nothing you can do about the majority of concerns you have. But try to stay calm and positive. Do the things you can control like eating healthy, taking your prenatals and all that. Once you've done all you can just try not worry about the rest. I know that's easier said than done and hopefully the results for the retest Monday look good.

Wishing you all the best. I hope you have a happy and healthy 9 months. Also, check out the sister site CountdownMYpregnancy.com
