HCG levels and dull heartbeat problems!

Hello. I'm living in a beautiful marriage for about five years and I get along with my husband just great but there was one problem in our marriage- we couldn’t have kids at all.
We tried so many times but with no success.
About three months ago I got pregnant and you couldn’t even imagine the joy and happiness we felt about it.
As I said, now I'm in a third month of pregnancy and there is one thing that is worrying me.
The level of my HCG-human chorion gonadotropyine is rising very slowly and child’s heartbeat is a bit dull.
My doctors said that this sometimes could be normal and that I should wait for about a week or so and monitor my HCG levels daily.
Do I have some reasons to concern?

because you gave very small amount of data.
You could provide some more accurate numbers!
I can say you only that sometimes a dull heartbeat is very normal because I have perfectly normal child and it had also very dull heartbeat. So, if this is the only problem-you wouldn’t have to worry at all.
What scares me the most is that the HCG indicates some sort of birth defect or leaves you at a higher risk of other problems later on.
When I say this I mean on miscarriage because if the pregnancy continues, slow rising hcg such as this could have a negative impact on the health and development of the fetus?
Having a miscarriage after seeing heartbeat is not usually related to vaginitis, cervical dysplasia and other genital disorders.
So, I suggest you to listen your doctor. Monitor your HCG levels daily because this could be the only problem. Dull heartbeat shouldn’t worry you at all.
