HCG drop in first trimester.

2020-05-10 12:08:00
Hi, I am 7 week pregnant. When consulted doctor, she asked us to go for HCG test. On first test, count was 16780 and in the second test count is 16300. Gap between two tests is 3 days. Does drop in HCG level mean any issue? Doctor asked us to get an ultrasound now. At the time of consultation, doctor also said baby does not look like 7 week baby. What does that mean? Please suggest. Thanks and Regards, Anitha.
