I've got the 2nd Beta Worries

Hi Ladies-
I'm new to this side of the forum. I had my first beta on Friday and it came back at 225...now i'm worried sick that my beta might've dropped or not increased the way it should have. I know that happens often when beta number are initially very low...but has anyone heard of this happening when you start out pretty good?
My doc's office is taking so long to call me back, it's making me nervous!
