Molar pregnancy advice

My first pregnancy has really been the drama that keeps on giving, i’ll give a brief outline.
Had a private scan at 7weeks, told no heartbeat. Hospital confirmed a missed miscarriage… had the tablets, a MVA & an ERPC (all at same hospital as each previous failed) from Feb-May. 3 weeks after ERPC still had a positive preg test, lost it with the hospital & went to UCLH, had another ERPC in July as was left with “scattered remains of tissue”. Monday just passed (6weeks after last procedure) was told it was a molar pregnancy, went for bloods & my HCG levels are below 1 but Charing cross still want me to send samples (will do tomorrow) to monitor. I finally got my first period of the year too, day after finding out about the molar. From what i’ve read this is a good sign but I just cant stop worrying that something is/will be wrong & can’t keep off google. My period was heavy for me but my periods before being pregnant were light, & now I cant help but think “was it a period or abnormal bleeding!?”. My period lasted 4 days but i’m feeling weird inside, I cant explain, its not painful/achy/cramps just weird, a lil twingy but I also don’t know if i’m just a paranoid wreck!

I actually dont know what the point of this post is Confused suppose I just wanted to hear from others who have also been through this situation x

I had a suspected molar pregnancy last year that they said wasn’t but I was never convinced they actually did the lab analysis. It was the beginning of covid and I think all the labs were busy. Like yours, it was the miscarriage that would never end. I bled very heavily for weeks on end and had several failed efforts to remove. Not sure what I’m trying to say either other than that I empathise with the frustration, confusion and physical drain of it all. If your hcg is down below 1 it sounds like it’s basically all out, which is great news. I’m now pregnant again, and I think it’s generally considered to just be a random one of thing and not affect future pregnancies. Good luck with getting through it all and I really hope you have successful future pregnancies if that’s what you want.

Sorry you've had a rough ride OP. I had a partial molar earlier this year. It was my 4th mc in a row and the PM diagnosis just felt like the cherry on the top of an already horrible situation.

I only had to do one set of bloods for Charing Cross, and a further urine sample a month later and then I was discharged. If your levels are already low it's a very good sign x
