in Miscarriage/Pregnancy Loss
so Dr called me today and said some of the results came back from the d&c, he wanted me to come down and get some blood drawn to monitor the hcg levels to make sure they are dropping. On the phone he said that the tests are pointing towards a molar pregnancy. I looked it up online & its too much to bare. anyone ever have this ?

    Yes. A molar pregnancy is one in which abnormal tissue develops rather than an embryo. It is very rapid growth and Hcgs are usually through the roof. If you have a molar pregnancy, they will monitor you for the next 6 months or so to make sure that no tissue is left behind to continue to grow. (they monitor your hcg levels to determine this). They do this because, apparently, in rare cases rapidly growing tissue can overcome other areas in the mother's body--so they just take extra care to make sure that you don't have anything left. The vast majority of women require no further treatment after their d&c. Unfortunately, if this was a molar pregnancy, you will likely be advised not to TTC until after your monitoring is over.

    There have been other mom's here with this diagnosis. Hopefully, they will chime in with their experience. You may want to edit your title to include "possible molar"--so that they notice. 

    I'm very sorry for your loss.

    I had a partial molar pregnancy diagnosed at the end of September. There are quite a few other ladies on here who have had a molar pregnancy as well. A lot of us are over on the TTCAL board so you may want to post over there as well.

    I found out my loss was molar in August. The good news is it is very treatable, the bad news is it does delay when you can TTC again. PP gave a good description of what happens and monitoring. If you have other questions please feel free to ask. Just wanted to let you know you aren't alone.

    i did as well. im so sorry for your loss. its so confusing! i was diagnosed with a PMP also on 10/14/11 and went in for an emergency d&c on 10/15/11. it was the most awful thing ive had to deal with in my life. i was an emotional wreck. since, i have been better with some breakdowns here and there. it does take time for the hcg levels to go down, im waiting on my latest result from friday. but last week was 9. so im almost at negative. good new for us is that its very rare for it to happen agian.    see you on trimester 1 soon. praying for your take home baby.
