Beta HCG during early pregnancy?

I am currently pregnant and, because I had three miscarriages, I am monitoring my HCG level. I would like to ask how they look, please.

-Last period 3/11
-Only unprotected sex 16/11
-First positive ( clear blue early pregnancy) 26/11
-Beta 172 30/11
-Beta 420 2/12
-Beta 1682 7/12

All the quantitative tests have been done by the same lab and at the same time of the day. Do they look ok? Should I repeat them or wait for the scan?

They look good!
Wait until your scan. More labs are not needed.

The levels are rising but they may not mean the pregnancy is viable, the scan and continued monitoring will have to be done to see if the baby is growing appropriately.
