Hi everyone - some of you may know me from the other thread, first pregnancy missed miscarriage. Lots of supportive ladies on there - it's the best! My only reason for posting a separate query here is that I have a very specific, rare issue now and I need someone who has been through it to help me cope.
I received a letter yesterday saying I have a follow-up appointment on Wednesday to discuss pathology results following a D&C for my mmc in February (12 weeks, NHB at 9 weeks, 31 yrs old, first pregnancy ever). After reading everything online, it seems NHS only does this if the tissue tests positive for a complete or partial molar pregnancy. I saw the baby on the screen, so I think it will be a partial molar and I am absolutely, completely devastated because I know this means I will have to wait another six months to a year before ttc again. Never mind possible chemo if the hcg levels do not cooperate. I feel like I've lost everything in life recently and the "c" word scares me because I lost the baby on the one year anniversary of mum's death from breast cancer last year. So I am barely hanging on here.
If you have had a partial molar or know someone who has, can you please help save my sanity by telling me how it went? I had a BFN three weeks after the D&C (two weeks ago now), so surely my hcg levels cannot be that high right now?? No AF but body was trying to gear up for O when I got this gutting news, so suspect she is on her way too. How high can my levels be and do you think they will just monitor for a few months (maybe 3 instead of 6) and let me start ttc again early? I need some hope to make it through the day right now.
