1st molar pregnancy & looking for support on recovery

[Freethinker]

I've just suffered a complete molar pregnancy loss at 12 weeks along. It's my first mc so I was definitely not expecting it after 2 healthy normal pregnancies in my past.
I'm looking to connect with moms who were able to pass the tissue naturally and what that recovery looks like. I keep hearing all the horror stories of worst case scenarios. I'm 4 days out from passing the last tissue, no bleeding and no cramps. Wondering if this is a sign I'm on the road to recovery. Had labs a week ago and hCG was 35000. Going tomorrow for a repeat lab. I'm not even sure what a 'good' number would be at this point. I know any drop will be good as I need to continue that direction if I want to ttc again soon. Also wanting to meet moms who conceived within 6 months of a molar pregnancy. Or is that even a possibility? Will I need labs every month? Looking for experience from others.
Thank you!

Hey. I don't know for sure if I'm having a molar pregnancy but the doctor thinks it may be that. We can't seem to get a straight answer. I'm also feeling confused and frustrated that I don't know what's going on. Sorry I don't have anything helpful to answer your questions. But though I'd let you know I may be in the same boat. You're not alone! I hope someone else can chime in that has been through it.

Oops I added too many 0's on my hcg lol I went from 3500 to 187 in a week.
If you don't mind me asking, what leads you to believe it is molar? Are scans leaning that way? I've had to basically Google everything because no OB will see me without repeat scans and I'm not paying for more scans. I just had them last week in the same building they work in from their own sonographers on their own sonography machines. Hospitals absolutely burn me up 😡

One doctor though molar because of the levels and this unknown something in my uterus. I went to a new OB today and she actually thinks its ectopic now. Ugh.

That really sucks you don't have more information. That seems so frustrating and scary. And that's really terrible they won't see you or help you. Hugs
