molar pregnancy?

in 1st Trimester
I had my second appointment and my first was yesterday. I got the pap and breast exam. Then my doc pressed on my stomach and I am measuring 6 weeks ahead.

I am suppose to be 10w1d and measuring 16! He said he is concerned it may be a molar pregnancy and giving me an ultrasound Monday.

I am very scared...


Any one else ever measured a few weeks ahead and NOT had bad news on an ultrasound?


EDD Aug. 7, 2013.
Calculated by early ultrasound in emergency room and beta draw.

My symptoms so far have been food aversions, cravings, and fatigue.

No spotting, cramps, discomfort, or nausea.

For the past 2 weeks I have only had fatigue.

Any ideas or similar stories?

    I was 7 weeks and I couldn't see the screen but she did tell me there was a little bean forming properly and a heartbeat of 134. My betas also put me at around 7 weeks.

    I've never heard of someone seeing a single gestational sac with heartbeat and then developing a molar pregnancy after. I'm not even sure that's possible?

    I'm not a doctor, but I don't see how you could have seen a perfectly normally developing pregnancy and then have it turn into a molar pregnancy.

    Same here. My understand of a molar pregnancy is that something forms but it isn't a baby and it doesn't have a hb.

    I measured way ahead with DS and suspect I am with this one too but we later found out that I had several large fibroids. They often respond to pregnancy hormones so they can make you grow bigger than you should.

    What I don't get is how your doctor "pressed on your stomach" and can tell that you are measuring 6 weeks ahead.

    There is a possibility of having an embryo develop along with molar tissue and for the embryo to have severe defects. It's also possible to have a healthy embryo with a mole that was a twin. With my molar I didn't have an embryo and my symptoms were cramping and bleeding. I passed a lot of tissue before being diagnosed. There is really no way to tell for certain without the ultrasound. The odds are very low that it is molar 1/1000. I hope it is nothing to worry about!

    Edit: spelling
