Molar and Partial Molar Pregnancy Support Group

I'm doing fine ladies, thanks for asking. Still testing faintly positive today which makes me slightly nervous, in light of the PGTD I had in 2009. Probably worrying over nothing though, as I found out in the past it does take a little longer for pee to go down than bloods. I'll still get a beta done asap if I can though, just to set my mind at rest

Still feeling a little sad, but I think once I've stopped bleeding and got a neg beta, then I'll be back to my old self and getting ready to try again Some ladies get lucky right after a MC dont they? Hope I'm one of them!!!

Avgabcon5- I would also mention it to the midwife today just to see what she says, but like you said theres no cramping so I wouldnt worry hun. I hope this week goes fast for you!

Laura- yay for O'ing, if your doing opks I wouldnt worry too much about different cycles, as long as you know when your O'ing it wont matter too much

Dan-o When are you having them done?? Its frustrating how mp's and pmp's change your views on hcg isnt it. Before high levels of hcg wouldve only meant a good thing, but now its soo easy to worry about other outcomes!!

Jacky- yay on tablets! xx

Hey ladies... Hope you don't mind me joining here.

I had my 12 week scan, believing everything was ok, I had no problems during this time... So I was shocked to learn that there was no baby, so at first it was put down as a blighted ovum... But possible molar pregnancy.

I never heard of a molar before, so obviously we got filled in on all the info at the hospital, which frightened the life out of me.

I had my blood tested for hcg level, I think she said 60,000 and odd on the phone, but my mobile was crackling so it was hard to hear. She asked the consultant for their opinion and decided I should have a d&c to remove everything, just I case.

I was told afterwards that some tissue was sent to histology and genetics... It's been 10 days now and I did ring the hospital today just for a update and results are still pending.

Just wondering how long your results took to come through?

Thank you ladies

 

[Mummy2Corban]

hey honey, sorry to read your story. How have you been? I had a complete molar and the doctors where fairly sure thats what it was but i got my results about 2 weeks later. Prehaps try calling again in a few days? Some websites are a little scary but try finding the charring cross site as its got facts on. Sending hugs xxx

 

[rachieroo]

Aww hun sorry for what your going through! I was in a similar situation to you, except they just thought it was a mmc and a second scan revealed a possible partial molar pregnancy. My results took about 2 weeks to come back so just chase them up in a few days. How are you feeling?

Laura, I have gone huge in the last week or so, I have grown that much that I have to wear black jogging bottoms instead of trousers because they are stretchy and I am a care assistant so my uniform zips up the middle, well this morning the zip 'popped' open up to my bra, I was sooo embarrassed haha, luckily i work with mainly women so it was hilarious!! xx

 

[Mummy2Corban]

Rachel Thats pretty funny! Good job its mainly ladies! He he he! Loving ya bump. I miss having a bump to rub! Xxx

 

[jacky b]

Babee Bugs, so sorry to hear of your news. my results took a week in australia but they rushed it through because they suspected pmp and it had been 2 months left undiagnosed since any growth of the bub and i had my d and c at the hospital where they do the tests. The ladies here are wonderful supports and its really good to see people have come out the other side and had healthy bubs. Sending lots of hugs xx

Rachieroo, thanks for the laugh. Has added a positive on my crapy day at work.

 

[dan-o]

Hi babee bugs, sorry for your loss hun
My results took ages to come through, 5 weeks I think. They were pretty useless though and it took several more weeks to be referred to charing cross!

Hoping you get 'good' news when the results come back

PS. My DH went through a phase of not wanting any babies because of the miscarriage/molar/chemo, but then changed his mind again a few months later. I think they get scared xx

 

[Babee_Bugs]

Thank you for replying ladies...

The scan showed a sac only measuring 7 weeks and 5 days so things had stopped growing for almost 4 weeks she did say it would be rushed through... But I think it's the not knowing and having this black cloud above my head on all the what ifs.

I just feel the longer it's taking for results, means it must be bad news

OH is adamant he isn't having anymore, he's not going to try or anything, the only thing that kept me going was the thought of trying again and holding onto hope we would get pregnant ASAP... It took us nearly 3 years to conceive and it's gone

 

[jacky b]

Oh honey I feel your pain. So sorry this is so painful. We are still trying for our first and i have only have losses down and nothing to show for almost 2 years of ttc. I got to 15 weeks with my pmp even though nothing had grown since 7.5 weeks and was devastated to find out 2 weeks ago that my body is not baby friendly. Started meds at the start of the week to help but generally I am not expecting anything positive. My officially allowed to start ttc next month again after the mole. I have to remember I was lucky and didn't need chemo. Hubby is scared because he does want to see me go through it all again. I think he will come around with time.

I hope it doesn't turn out to be a mole and i hope it happens very soon xx big hugs

 

[Babee_Bugs]

Awww Hunnie I'm sorry for your losses...

I had a subarachnoid brain hemorage from a neural aneurysm. Basically I was on the brink of death, I know I should be lucky to be alive (even the woman who came to see me after the d&c said ooo your lucky to be alive aren't you?) but that happened almost 3 years ago, and since then I've had a really hard time trying to get my head round it, everything has changed since my brain operation, I'm no longer ME, I feel like someone else... I use to work from home, but because of my brain, I couldn't manage to be ont he computer for a while...
Ttc was the only thing that took my mind off my brain, everything that buggers up for me, it's my brains fault! My cycles were sooo long because of the medication I had to take for my brain, I didn't ovulate etc then it started to sort itself out.. But now of corse I blame my brain for producing a rubbish egg, I blame it for letting em ey to 12 weeks with no sign of something was wrong... And now I blame it for the possible mole!... I'm sick of having bad things happen to me.

These last couple of days I honestly feel like depression is starting to take hold of me... I hate everything and everyone, I despise my partner, although I understand his reasons for not wanting another child...

I feel so alone

 

[jacky b]

Oh love biggest hugs! So sorry you have had such a hard time and have been through a lot. Try to keep that positive focus and the ladies here are all here to help through those horrible days. Some days are really hard to face the world. You are not alone xx

I wont say that things happen for a reason because I hated hearing that and it doesn't help you feel better, all i can say is that there are people out there thinking of you, sending you love and wishing you all best. You are very strong and you can face this. I hope you can get to a place where you don't blame yourself because this is nobody's fault ethat this happened specially not yours. Sending lots of love xx

Mine results were rushed through but it still took 2 weeks so try not worry yourself to much until you have them. (i know thats hard!) Have you had any other bloodtests to get your hcg results?

As for your OH its all a bit much for them watching you go through this so maybe he needs a bit of time??

My gosh honey! You have been through alot I can kinda understand as my uncle had a brain hemorage and he is the same but not if that makes sense. Must have been a scary time for you

Honey its not your brains fault for releasing a rubbish egg! My body released an empty egg and it just happened to be the month we were ttc! You cant comtrol these things and it wont help if you blame your brain I went for my dating scan to find my molar to....i had extreme nausea to the point i could hardly do anything but i thought maybe i was carrying a girl or twins!! Got into my scan and all i had was a mass I know its and unfair and when you find out its so so hard....so many things to get your head round. We are all here for you lovely!

It is with heartache I'd like to join this group.

This is our first pregnancy. Last Friday I was referred to a specialist because my NT values came back high for downs syndrome (1:10). On the initial u/s the doctor immediately stopped and told us that we had a partial molar pregnancy, that the fetus wasn't viable, and that we needed to terminate. We were completely devastated. Even though I was over 13 weeks along, seen the baby bounce around on the ultrasound with a strong heartbeat, we had to say goodbye. She pointed out that the placenta was huge and was basically taking over the entire gestational sac.

I had a D&E performed Sunday morning. I feel so angry -- why hadn't doctors seen that there was a problem on my 11 or 12 week ultrasounds? How could the baby look so healthy yet have such a doomed fate?

I feel like a double slap in the face because it is a partial molar and we can't TTC again right away. Pre-D&E my HCG values were 562,000. I'm praying by some miracle that they quickly drop to negative so we can TTC, but the thought of having to wait 4-12 months to try again is just another stab in my heart. I have PCOS and had to conceive using Clomid and a trigger shot, which I'm now swearing off. Next time we TTC it will be a grace from God if we can conceive quickly.

Im so sorry that you are joining us honey I had a complete molar so no baby but there are quite a few ladies who had a partial that can offer more help than me. Have you had a further blood test for your hcg levels now? Its so very hard at the beginning but i can promise you that you will get there and we are all here to offer support along the way
