HCG Betal Level did not double

I had my betal levels tested on Tuesday and yesterday.  the first was 960 and the second was 1442.
I'm going for a third test and ultrasound on Monday.  Has this happened to anyone else?

i will be the first to say that i am the last person you want to ask about this but i will be honest!!!  my numbers didnt double and neither did the progression on my u/s (five of them) they progressed at first then they started looking bad but i was 7 weeks pregnancy ending at almost 6 weeks!!!!  but they say u/s is more accurate then the hcg levels once you see a fetal development and possible heartbeat (if you have seen one) i wish you the best of luck..........have hope and continue to pray!

my hcg levels
6/30 3900
7/2   5414
7/6   7120
7/8   9596
7/9   D & C because sac went away on u/s

They need to double within 48-72 hours, but the TECHNICAL rate of increase should be at least 60% (instead of 100%, or what I termed doubling).
