Low Beta: Need reassurance, pls

Hi! Please I would like y'all's reassurance on my 1st two betas. My 1st beta was 9.6 on 9dp3dt, then it was 24.0 the next day. I believe the doubling rate is ok, but it is still on the low end, isn't it?

Has anyone else experienced a beta like this and gone on to have a successful pregnancy? I am sorry to bother y'all, but I am stressing out. Thank you!

Personally I think it looks okay. It is on the low side but you are also being tested pretty early. I'm sure tomorrow's beta will bring you a nice juicy number
