I think it will be okay, but those are pretty low betas. Normally they don't even consider you pregnant until the hcg is over 5. However, if you aren't cramping or spotting and your tests are getting darker, that is a great sign. Congrats! :)

I'm honestly surprised they sent you for a repeat beta when the first was only 2. My RE office doesn't consider anything below 5 as pregnant.

My first beta at 11DPO was 23 and the nurse called me and told me it would probably be another chemical because my hCG was "concerning low." Two days later, at 13DPO, I had a repeat beta drawn and it was 89. The same nurse called me back and said that doubling look great so the first number was probably so low because I had the beta done so early at only 11DPO. They told me that doubling means more early on than the actual number.

That being said I have a dear friend who recently had a beta done and it was 7. Her repeat beta was around 9. It ended up being a chemical for her.

I personally would be freaking out over the low numbers but I'd be trying to force myself to focus on that fact that hCG is rising and, technically, it is doubling. Hopefully your next beta will have good numbers.

Technically your beta did double even though they are low. I would ask for another beta to see if it's still going up. The fact that your tests are getting darker is also a good sign. When I had my chemical I got a BFP, then the next day it was a little darker but then the day after that they got lighter and lighter until they were gone.
