Help me with these numbers.
My last LMP was 06/20
First beta 4065 on 08/04
second beta 6855 on 08/06
Progesterone levels are ok.
My nurse says that they should double every 2 days.I found on internet that once it crosses 1000 mark it takes more time to double may be 3 or 4 days.Now mine went up only 60%.When I told her about my online findings she says there is nothing like that.
Please let me know if she is right.I am scheduled for scan towmorrow but her words are worrying me.Also are my numbers ok for #of weeks I am pregnant.

I've never seen a publication that says a factor of two is ideal for any decision. I have seen one that advocated a factor of 1.6, which you more than met. Doubling is common but not necessary.
It's *usually* still doubling at 1000. However, it does level off in the tens of thousands or low 100,000 range, then decline. We had one patient who had live birth and never got over 15,000. Of course, as it approached that peak of 15,000 it slowed, so I'd guess she was already slowing by 6000 or so.
So perhaps it might be leveling out earlier than most. Or maybe it's random measurement error (imagine if the first value was 10% too high and the second was 10% too low, then you even met the doubling rule, which is not even a rule anyway). Or maybe there's a problem. No way to be sure at this point.
Keep in mind that, once hCG gets up in this range, many clinics stop looking at hCG and just use the ultrasounds. They are more definitive.
Sounds okay for the number of weeks.
I'd say don't worry about it. Worry never helps. Plus your scan is tomorrow. You'll have detailed info soon enough.
Avoid IVF and surrogacy in Ukraine. Ukrainian centers pay shills to post here under numerous sock accounts pretending to be patients in Ukraine. Centers using such deceptive advertising cannot be trusted and should be avoided.
