Pregnant After Miscarriage - Possible Molar Pregnancy?

Hi ladies,

First of all, if you're reading this, odds are pretty good I can say that I'm so sorry for your loss. I know how hard it is, and I'm sad that any of us have to go through it.

My question is rather specific, but hopefully someone out there has been through something similar, and hopefully no one thinks my post insensitive: I miscarried at six weeks and didn't find out until I was supposed to be about 8 weeks along. I had a D&C on August 31st, followed by much sadness. My husband and I wanted to start trying again right away, so about two weeks after the D&C, we resumed TTC. About one week ago, I took a pregnancy test out of habit, and it came back positive. When I went to the Doctor for a blood test, my HCG levels came back above 5,000! It's not possible that I'm any further along than five weeks, but why on Earth would my HCG levels be so high?! My big concern is that it's a molar pregnancy left over from the miscarriage, which I just don't know anything about. Has anyone experienced anything like this? I'm getting seriously worried and I won't know anything until my ultrasound in a week. If the doc was concerned about an MP, they'd get me in right away, right?

I apologize if this comes across as insensitive to any of you future mommys who aren't having a good go of it right now. I truly feel for you and hope you'll keep trying.

    One last thing - you posted if we are reading this..."odds are pretty good that I can say I'm sorry for your loss".

    The odds aren't "pretty good"... the odds are 100%.
    I apologize for the insensitivity. I sincerely do. But in response to this - I read the miscarriage boards when I was AFRAID I was going to miscarry - in fact I read them often because it is now my greatest fear. So I don't want to go ahead and say that I'm sorry for someone's loss if they haven't experienced one and are just doing their research.

    I am VERY sorry for your loss, and I hoped that my post would get some responses from women who have had several miscarriages or experienced molar pregnancies after their loss(es) - it's more common among women who have miscarried. If I posted in the wrong place, I truly apologize for offending you. I won't check this particular post anymore, so feel free to neglect to respond to this. Best of luck with your future attempts and pregnancies (fingers crossed)!

    I gotta agree with BBNut. Plus if you are having a healthy pregnancy, don't drive yourself crazy by reading everything that could happen!

    I'd say this isn't a bad place to post. If it is molar it most likely will lead to a loss. I'm so sorry your going through this.

    Because I have had losses and I do think about them everyday. You can't dictate what someone posts or where some people chose to read forums.

    I never once rubbed it in anyone's face. I saw a post about molar and my best friend is going through that so I thought id offer support because it's not a common thing. I never ever was gonna say oh guess what I'm pregnant and put it in your face. I don't know how all this works. I didn't know it said I'm pregnant. I just have lost two baby's and look on other boards once in a while. I am not a malicious person and never would have put it out there. I know what it's like to lose a baby two of them. I was just trying to help someone not feel alone.

    Like I said I didn't know you guys could see that. I don't know you could click on someone and know about them. I'm on a phone and maybe it's different. I never ment to hurt someone. And never would rub it in someone's face.
