Hey Dan-o i see you've started a thread! Thanks!
I'd like to start with my little (actually i mean long, sorry!) story, and maybe we'll sniff out a few more of who have been/ are going through a molar, or associated experience!
I got my
on the second of Feb. this year, i was due
on the 6th.
I had very slight bleeding around that time which i put down to 'implantation',
as it went away for a while,
then at around 6 weeks it started again, so i went to the dr and was referred to an e.g.u (emergency gynae unit) where they took blood tests and did a scan, the scan was inconclusive as it was too early, so was back at the unit 2 days later for more blood tests,
turned out my hcg wasn't doubling , it was however still rising a bit, so i had to go back a few days later AGAIN,
and yet it was still rising a bit, so i had to go back yet again...
This time i had my second of what would eventually be 5 (or was it 6?) scans... and.. it was..... inconclusive, as there was actual growth, sooooo was back in for more blood tests (still rising), and more scans, each time, waiting on tenterhooks to find out if was to be having my baby or if i was going to miscarryas they couldn't say conclusively either way....
This to-ing and fro-ing went on, with the embryo growing VERY slowly (but growing all the same) till finally after multiple visits, scans and blood tests, they could no longer find the foetal pole in my scan, and instead saw multiple cysts, which were up till then not visible, the sonographer was purposefuly vague about what was wrong, for obvious reasons, until i saw the consultant, but having had a previous partial molar, i knew exactly what was going on, and waiting for the consultant to see me was agony.
So to cut this rather long story short, i was sent for an emergency d&c, and was told to wait for 2 weeks to hear back from histology, as to what was going to happen next (they have to confirm it after), and told if i didn't hear anything by then, it was just a 'normal' m/c.
So 2 weeks came and went, and i started hoping.. and even tried to contact the hospital ( to no avail ),to find out if i had this hanging over my head or not.
Eventually nearly a month after my emergency d&c i received a very mysterious call, from my consultants secretary, to 'come and have a chat with a nurse from the recurrent m/c ward' (will be on 28th)
So have resigned myself to the complications of a 2nd partial molar.
So sorry this has been so long, thanks for reading, and anyone who's going through this or anything similar, i'd love to hear from you!
thank-you!
