HCG levels didn't double - cause for concern?

Hello,
I'm freaking out right now because I just learned my hcg levels did not double from two days ago.  The nurse said my levels were good and I'm to go back in two days for another beta test.  When I expressed concern the nurse said that my RE didn't say anything.

Here are my levels:

Aug 13 110 14 dpo
Aug 17 530 18 dpo
Aug 19 1053 20 dpo
Aug 21 1666 22 dpo

What do you think?  Please be honest.

Thank you.

My RE told me that the levels should atleast double every 72 hours...not 48! So I don't think you have anything to worry about!!

I think it looks good! The RN at my RE's office said to not read too too much into the numbers.  I think you are fine.

I agree w/ ita17. My levels did the same thing at first. It worried me to, but now I'm 17 weeks w/ the same baby! You will be fine.

I think you could be JUST FINE!  HONESTLY!  They are REALLY supposed to double every 36 hours, nut every 24 is what they hope to see.
TRY TRY TRY & not get too worked up about it, it's not good for you or your baby ;)
Wait & see what your next one is, THAT one I think will be able to tell you more.
