Should I be worried? thanks !!!!

Either value is more than 10x what you need. No worries there.
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.

oh thank god !! thank you !!!!! My third beta is tomorrow... I'm hoping to be around 1000 we'll see.
oh another question... do we still have pregnancy symptoms even if your HCG goes down...? I can really tell I'm pregnant with all the crazy symptoms so I'm hoping that's a good sign my HCG will stay strong....

Your next hCG measurement should be well over 1000.

Your "symptoms" are probably not from hCG but from progesterone. If they let your progesterone coast downwards, some of those effects might fade, but that is generally not an issue, so don't let it bother you if that happens.

hCG has no direct effects I know of that you could sense. It promotes the maturation of follicles and keeps them producing progesterone. But you can sense the progesterone, because it can make you light-headed and nauseous, and can cause breast tenderness.

The level and the growth rate are both important. A growth of 67% is okay, but provides less confidence than a higher growth rate.
