I fell pregnant for the first time in March but unfortunately had a miscarriage at 6w2d in April. We then conceived again straight away but unfortunately a scan yesterday showed no fetal pole, an irregular gestational sac and a number of “cystic areas”. My HCG levels were also incredibly high. The on call doctor seemed pretty confident it was partial molar rather than complete as they saw a yolk sac which apparently indicates early embryonic development. I’m scheduled for surgery tomorrow morning which I’ve opted to have under general anaesthetic rather than local. I guess I’m just feeling a bit overwhelmed. They said the first miscarriage was bad luck and then this time around apparently it’s really rare so I’m starting to question just how unlucky one person can be 😓 I wanted to avoid surgery really as I read a d&c could cause scarring and impact fertility which I know I’m probably overthinking but I really didn’t want to give my body another way to screw me over but now I don’t have a choice.
The doctor yesterday said we’d have to wait 6 months before TTC again which at almost 34 just feels like wasting precious time. Has anyone got any experiences of a partial molar pregnancy they would be able to share and of TTC again afterwards? At the minute it just feels like I’ll never a baby 😞
