May I come over? (Long intro)

Hello Ladies, 

I have been working up the courage to introduce over here.  I hope I am allowed to come over even though I am TTA until January.  I have been active on TTCAL for a little over six months.  It seems these days I am recognizing less and less people over there and more over here.  Please let me know if I don't belong over here.  

Here is my story:  

MH and I started TTC in October 11.  We got out BFP in February.  

March 30, 2012 I went to my dr. appointment and found out my "poppy" baby did not have a heart beat anymore.  I was approx. 10wks and the baby measured 9 wks 6 days.  I decided to take two rounds of Cytotec at home.  When I went back to the dr's my lining was still think so they ordered another round to flush out the rest.  My hCG was dropping very slow so the Dr. ordered a (painful) ultrasound an 4/20/12.  The ultrasound came back normal with the tech noting my ute is severely tilted making it hard to get anything.  My ute is so tilted back my cervix kind of folds over itself.  On May 9th, my hCG levels jumped up again so I was scheduled for a D&C on the day following my birthday 05/16/12.

After the D&C, my hCG dropped by half so I thought awesome finally moving forward.  06/01/12 I started bleeding and passing more clots.  I bled for 20 days before any one thought it was of concern.  On 06/20/12 I saw a new dr (because my other went on maternity leave) and she revealed something in my uterus.  She prescribed me another round of Cytotec hoping to avoid surgery again because of my tilted ute.  She stated if she went in there again there was a good chance of puncturing it.   Well the Cytotec failed again.  Dr. prescribed me a month on estrogen to try to give my ute time to heal and push the final stuff out.  Estrogen failed!

08/7/12 had a hysteroscopy with D&C performed which revealed Gestational Trophoblastic Disease (GTD).  There are a few different forms of GTD some benign and some malignant.  I had two weeks to get my dx.  It was bening but acted a lot like cancer.  As a result, they are monitoring me with blood draw (monthly) and ultrasounds (as needed) until January.  On 08/22/12, my hCG was finally below 2.  10/08/12 I finally got my first AF (six months after my mc).  

I hate that all of us find ourselves here and there even has to be a board for us.  But I hope you will take me in.  I look forward to supporting all you wonderful ladies!

    Wow...((big hugs)) I'm so sorry for all that you have been through. Do they know why you developed GTD? I had a molar pregnancy and was told that I had a slim chance (5%) of developing GTD so we had to TTA for 6 months while my HCG levels were monitored. I had never heard of GTD until then...it sure changes your outlook on life when you realize pregnancy can cause cancer (since some of the forms of GTD are malignant). Life can be real screwed up sometimes Sad. Anyway, glad things are starting to look up for you!

    just the pregnancy itself. The cells that create the placenta get confused and go into overdrive. Very scary stuff. My odds of getting it next time had slightly increased. Since it is so slow growing it took that long for it to show up. So if it does return to cancer at least it's usually slow growing.
