I have slow-rising hCG levels this early in my pregnancy. Is there hope?

I’m looking for some wisdom here. After transferring a day 5 blastocyst in a fresh IVF cycle, my beta hCG values were as follows:

ER+12: HCG 43
ER+14: HCG 112 (doubling rate: 1.4 days)
ER+23 (5+2): HCG 718 (doubling rate: 3.4 days). Ultrasound: no sac visible
ER+26 (5+5): HCG 1990 (doubling rate: 2.0 days). Ultrasound: sac visible 9mm with yolk sac

Has anyone had anything like this? Has anyone had slow rising HCG levels in early pregnancy and gone on to be okay? The values were great initially and totally within the norm, but then the doubling really slowed down, and the value on ER+23 was way low for that day. However, the doubling rate seemed to pick back up again by the next scan.

The studies I have read about show that it’s a sign of impending miscarriage for most people with numbers like these. Is there any hope, or should I be worried? I always thought your levels should double daily, but should I be thinking positively as my levels are still rising no matter how fast? I really want to have a baby.
