I think your number is fine. It's the doubling that matters. And since you didn't even get the faintest of lines yesterday on the HPT, you could have implanted late. WOO!!! Congrats and Good luck!!

Wonderful news!
I am SO happy to read this! Crossing all Ive got for 2nd beta=)
YAY! And yea, great title!
Those HCG charts are all over the place on what is normal. What I like to do (and which is completely neurotic), is use this calculator below and put in my 1st beta and pretend like I've had my 2nd (and pretend it's doubled of course, and plug in the numbers. If you are 14dpo, then you're right on target.
But yea, what really matters is the doubling.

Hope you double and we can be preggy blog buddies!
Cautiously optimistic - hope 2nd beta is out of the ball park!
Yay! That's great news! :)
Yay!!!! That is a great start to what I hope is a great and healthy pregnancy.
OMG ARE YOU KIDDING ME!!!???? I just logged on to see this update!! I am so freaking happy for you. Dollar Tree tests suck!! YEAH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Congratulations! Good luck on Wednesday.
I shall hope for you. I'm not sure how many dpo and it's lower than ideal but lower betas does not always = doom.
I want to jump up and down, but I'll cross everything and hope,
