Severe Fatigue with Partial Molar

So, at 12 weeks my pregnancy has been flagged up as 'partial molar' and tomorrow I'm having an EPRC.

Along the way, I haven't actually had any of the symptoms that are apparently associated with partial molar so it took a scan to pick it up. However, the fatigue I have had during this pregnancy (my first) has been intense and extreme - and has made me feel all along that things were not right. For the past 3/4 weeks it has been so bad that I've not been able to walk and on one occasion, for forty minutes, I was not strong enough even to lift or turn my head - just like a rag doll. Throughout the pregnancy I've been in and out of hospital numerous times where they conducted lots of tests to try and identify a reason for the 'very unusual' level of fatigue. When I was told about the partial molar I guessed that it would explain the incredible tiredness/weakness I've suffered. However, numerous doctors have said that they do not think this is linked. I wondered, has anyone else had an experience that sounds similar to this?

The debilitating fatigue in particular is something I've found so frightening throughout this that it does make me wonder if I'll be brave enough to try again. At the moment I'm hoping that the EPRC tomorrow will rid me of the weakness and also the terrible nausea.

Update - The EPRC made the nausea disappear overnight. However, it has taken 3 months for my energy levels to get close to something normal.

I also have a history of PMDD so the return of my periods (while a good sign with molar) hasn't helped with my energy levels.

I will continue trying to find answers as to my body's reaction to the pregnancy - and also a solution to my PMDD. Anyway, back to work next week. It's great to be doing normal life things again.
