I found out at 10 weeks that I had a missed miscarriage and the baby stopped growing around 7 weeks. I had a D&C a week later and at my follow-up appointment I found out that the pathology report showed rapid cell growth with no explanation for miscarriage. My OB said the abnormal growth was where the placenta attached to the uterine wall, in the fingerlike structures, which I understand to be the chorionic villi. My HCG level was 12 yesterday (6 weeks after miscarriage and 2 weeks after D&C). I'm going back in a week to have my HCG level drawn again. I'm worried about Gestational Trophoblastic Disease. Is this a valid concern? Has anyone been in a similar situation? Thanks.
