I just wondered what you went through while dealing with this? I had to have a biopsy today to determine if this is what I am now dealing with. Just wondered if anyone else has been in the situation and what it entails.

First of all I want to say I am so sorry, big ((Hugs)) to you.
My BFF had one 3-4 years ago and they had to monitor her very closely for 8 months afterwards to make sure the "cancer" type cells did not come back. Unfortunately I don't know many more details, but the story definitely has a happy ending as after the 8 months was over she was able to concieve 2 happy and healthy children and now has her hands full as they are 1yr and 2 yrs old (only 12 months and 12 days apart)
I was diagnosed with a partial molar pregnancy in March. It's the worst thing ever.
I went in for the standard 16 week ultrasound expecting to hear a healthy heartbeat. No heartbeat. Dr. informs us that the baby stopped growing at 14 weeks. And that I have placenta previa so I have to have a d&c ASAP. I had the D&C the next day.
A week later, I got a call that I also had a partial molar pregnancy. I had to do weekly blood draws until I reached zero, and then go for monthlies after that. I reached zero on June 1st. Originally my husband and I understood my doctor as saying that she only needed me to do three months of monthlies, and that I'd be cleared to try after three months. I am at the three months of negative now, but today at my appointment she said that she really wanted me to wait 6 CYCLES. I've had 3 Cycles so far. After bursting into tears about it, she changed it to just one more month.
At any rate I'm really sorry you're going through this. THe good news is that if it's a partial molar pregnancy your risk of developing into GTD or Choriocarcinoma is really low. I strongly recommend bouncing over to Babycenter.com where there's a molar pregnancy group and a thread for recently diagnose molar pregnancies that I'm currently keeping updated. https://community.babycenter.com/groups/a113685/molar_and_partial_molar_pregnancies
It has been an invaluable place for me. It's a great place to ask questions. Although we've suffered a loss like everyone on this board, it's a bit different from what a lot of ladies on here go through so it's nice to get insight from other women who are dealing with the unique situation we're in.
Feel free to PM me anytime or page me.

Stretched gave you a very good overview. I also went in for my 16 week appointment, they couldn't locate the hb and was sent for an u/s. I was told there that the baby had passed. I had a d&c a few days later (this was all over Thanksgiving weekend). Unfortunately the staff failed to give my dr the pathology report showing I had a pmp, so I didn't learn it until my d&c follow up appointment 4 weeks later.
From there, I underwent the hcg monitoring for 3 weeks (I had fallen to 0 already) and then once a month for 6 months after. They closely monitor to make sure your hcg does not rise, which can indicate that there is cell growth, which can be the GTD referred to earlier. They may place you back on birth control to help assure you don't get pregnant during this time.
I've lurked on the baby center board and found it extremely helpful. I also emailed with one of the girls on here who went through this as well and it was good for just bouncing feelings and such off of. Please feel free to pm me if you have any questions at all. While it was hard to wait the 6 months, in a way I feel like it gave me time to grieve my loss. I'm now 9 weeks pg and while I'm nervous, so far it looks like we have a healthy pregnancy. Hang in there and ((hugs)).
