I suffer form recurrent m/c so with this pregnancy the doctors have me doing twice weekly HCG and my levels peaked at 8 weeks and have dropped down a bit now the specialist says that's perfectly normal and that i am following "the graph" beautifully. Look at my chart to compare yours if you like, i have been looking for a chart to compare mine to but it seems no one else has one.

This could be a perfectly normal drop. If your doctor's didn't mention any concerns about this drop in your hcg levels, I wouldn't worry unduly.

With one of my pregnancies, I had some bleeding (can't remember exactly how far along I was) so they did a beta and my first number was in the 50,000s and the second they took in fact had gone down by a bit. I was super worried, but after alot of reading I found out that it's fairly normal once you hit a certain point in your pregnancy for you numbers to level off and stop rising and can actually go up and down. Everything turned out fine for me! I'm sure with such high numbers like yours and the fact that you're already more than 7 weeks along that all will be fine! good luck!!
