Us @ 8w6d (exactly where should be)hb 167. hgc dropped few days later. mw says losing baby even though no bleed/cramps. still have preg symptoms. ???

Dropping hcg: HCG shouldn't drop until the second trimester, so by definitiion this would be a missed abortion (missed miscarriage). This means the pregnancy is going forth, but you don't have symptoms yet. However, I always offer another HCG to confirm it is dropping and an Ultrasound to confirm. In fact, I wouldn't offer a D&C until those were done. While lab error is unlikely, I always confirm a loss.
