Yes berried shrimp can lose their eggs. It is sometimes because the female is young or stressors (predators and/or poor water quality) can also cause this.
Hopefully this helps.

Oh thanks for the move.
Do you think i should isolate the female until all her eggs drop and then try to artificially hatch it?

No, Peter. She will probably drop them all and moving her will stress her more.

She still has 3 eggs with her. I think she's given up on trying to drop these and is carrying it around now. Is that normal?

It can happen, but they typically won't hatch out. But, you may just luck out
