Didn't want to read and run, since it must be really hard for you right now.
From what I hear, to a degree it's not what the numbers are as much as the fact that they're rising well. So I wouldn't stress too much over one reading (especially since it's still early days, and that's a strong 'definitely currently pregnant' figure, even if it could be higher). Have you got another blood test booked to see how they're rising? That might put your mind at rest - after three miscarriages I'd be a wreck too.

I agree, try not to get caught up in the numbers itself. Its more important that they are doubling every 48 - 72 hours.
There are heaps of charts out there but this one has good information linky

The other thing too is that your dates might not be bang on, at first scan I got put back 4 days (dating scan) even though I felt ovulation and that meant I got a positive early at 9 or 10dpo!
Hope all goes well with the next HCG, sometimes they are more worry than they are worth

I remember the nurse telling me that my hcg levels were very low and that i must only just be pregnant and i knew i was at least 8 weeks... so i assumed that it was a no go. and then later through the hospital the nurse who was monitoring my levels said she wasnt happy with how my hcg levels were rising and that she was worried. That was 8 years ago and my son is a temperamental little playstation junky now!
Its hard not to assume the worst when its happened already but sometimes you just have to have a little bit of hope.

I had low hcgs that took a week to double. The result of that pregnancy is sitting on my knee.
I'd had three prior miscarriages as well, and I would recommend against hcgs. They are more stressful than they are worth.
