Lost Baby in 2T in Aug - PG again with low HCG

I lost a baby boy at 18.5 weeks PG to Trisomy 18 in Aug this year (no beta with that baby) so to say the least I am a little nervous. This baby is due Aug 14th 2010...just 7 days before my loss date. I will be 37. My HCG was 290 @18 DPO and 563 @ 20DPO and I got a very light + test at 10DPO. I would think it would be a lot higher.  My doubling time is 50 hours. With my son it was about 1400 around 20 DPO with a doubling time of 30 hours.
I have seen the "standard charts" on the internet but most of the posts I see have much higher numbers. What do you all think? I am just so afraid of another loss and starting over.

I am actually on 200 mg of progesterone a day because I have low progesterone. I have read different things about HCG & progesterone. It seems like more of the research does not suggest low progesterone equals to low HCG. I had spotting right at 4 weeks. I took a pregnancy test early at 10DPO...another cause for my worry. Why are my numbers so low...I guess the simple answer is they started out low and are not doubling fast. I here 50 hours is ok but I am not convinced.

I am praying that you have a healthy 9 months!!  I am waiting on my second numbers to see how my doubling time I lost my frist pregnancy I would have been due this month..so I am super nervous.  Not to mention I have had pink when  wipe.  I totally understand your worry and I hope everything turns out fine. Are you going to get another beta to see if  doubling time improves?
