Yes: That increase is great. It's still of course way too early to tell if this pregnancy will be viable or not, but those are thus far excellent numbers. If you underwent stimulation of your ovaries, or ivf, then recommendation could change depending on when conception occurred, but if this was just a serum hcg, those numbers are excellent.

Too soon to tell: While those nubers are reassuring but it is too soon to tell. You will need to continue to be followed closely.
