Depending on where you check, your hCG levels at 5 weeks could be anything between 20 and 10,000 and be fine. Doubling can take between 2 and 4 days, but an increase of 60% in 48 hours is good. As long as your numbers keep going up, there shouldn't be any need to worry. I think a lot of Doctors have a habit of being negative as a way of preparing you for the worst, but all it does is cause unnecessary worry.
Where I live they don't check your hCG levels... personally I knew my levels were low at the beginning because I didn't get a +ve on a hpt until I was 6 weeks - our son is 17 months old this week :)
