BETA HCG levels. So nervous! Help!

Went into the ER with bad cramping two days ago and they said everything looked normal and it should be okay and told me to get my Beta levels checked again in two days. They were at 8,022 at 5wks 3days and now today they were just over 11,000 at 5wks 5days. My doctor says she would have liked  them to be higher but that it is a good sign I have been so horribly nauseous (haha) and now I go in for another blood draw in two days again. I'm terrified something is wrong. Has anyone had similar situation and a healthy pregnancy to follow? I really need some reassurance.

your numbers should double every 48 hours, though I'm pretty sure the further along you get the doubling time isn't as great.. I'm really not sure but I wish you the best!!

Did they do an ultrasound? With numbers that high they should be able to check you on an ultrasound.

According to betabase, once HCG levels hit 8000 or so, the median doubling time for successful single pregnancies is around 60 hours rather than 48. Are they doing another blood draw in a few more days? What about an ultrasound? You should be able to see something by now.

Yes, they did an ultrasound. It showed a gestational sac in the uterus (so they ruled out ectopic pregnancy thank goodness) but no fetal pole or yolk sac yet. Idk if those should even be there yet though at 5wks 3days. They also found another cyst (i had a ruptured cyst 3 weeks ago) on my right ovary. Idk if that would change anything. Thoughts?
