I went to this web site that said that once a fetal heart beat is found that hcg should be a montiored as much. That a doctor is suppose to montior heartbeat. And it said that once beta gets around 6000 sometimes it takes it about 6 days to double. I guess I am really worrying to much. You are right a bout having another sono, but my doctor said their was no need to until about 4 weeks from now. And I don't think I can wait that long. I have been looking and seen that people with healthy looking pregnance lossing the baby after seeing heartbeat. Anyway, thanks for your advice. I really need it >Good luck.
