Q. I had a miscarriage when I was about 6 weeks along. Now, one month later, they are suspecting a molar pregnancy due to bleeding and increasing hcg levels.
The info that I have seen on the internet mostly deals with molar pregnancies that are 3-5 months along. I was wondering if anyone had one diagnosed this early, and what they went through.

A. I had mine when I was 3 months, but what they saw was grape like clusters on the ultrasounds and my HCG levels were extremely high. The important thing in any molar pregnancy is that you have a D&C (which your doctor will have you do anyways) and to be monitored for 6 months to a year after as molar pregnancies can (but dont always) lead to cancer. I was followed for 1 year after my molar pregnancy and was perfectly healthy. Good luck, I hope you dont have this as it can be very scary!
what questions should I be asking my dr about molar pregnancy?
Q. Is there things I should be doing or asking the dr about the molar pregnancy? is there somthing I should be doing that will lower my hcg level faster? Should I go have chest x-rays?
A. Is it a complete or incomplete mole? That means was it diploid (with the normal number of chromosomes-2, one from each parent) or triploid (three sets of chromosomes-one from mom, two from dad). With that answer should come some information about how likely it is to need long term monitoring.
One in a thousand pregnancies are molar pregnancies, some are blighted ova. Your physician will want to do sequential hCG levels at least until they get to normal, which should happen in about 2-3 weeks. Chest xrays are very safe as the amount of radiation you receive is very low, since the film is so sensitive.
I had one about 11 years ago, and had my daughter eight years ago. It is discouraging and disconcerting, but one day this too will be in your past, and you can advise others of your previous condition, and hopefully offer reassurance.
Best wishes.

What were your HCG levels when you had a molar pregnancy?
Q. There is a small chance that my dates weren't calculated correctly... but I believe I'm at 4 weeks (since last period) with a 4000 hcg... which is very very high. I'm obviously worried it's a molar pregnancy. Have you ever had a molar pregnancy? If so, what were your levels early on in pregnancy?
Thanks in advance. I have an ultrasound scheduled for this evening but I'm just trying to get through today. :(

A. I have had a molar pregnancy but i never knew what my levels were.
I had gone for my 12 weeks scan and they told me my baby had died at 6 weeks 6 days. i then ended up having a d&c and thats how they found out i had a molar pregnancy.
If they were worried about the levels they would have said something.
i wouldnt worry about molar pregnancy to much, it aint a common thing atall.
Just try and chill out and enjoy your pregnancy x

Q. It's been 5 years since and I've had a daughter and adopted a son.
does methotrexate cause fertility issues or other complications
Also I've developed Lupus like symptoms (joint pain, photosensitivity, pos ANA, Nephritis, mouth sores)
Can this be caused by a molar pregnancy ot metotrexate?

A. The Lupus type symptoms could be coming from the Methotrexate, but I would recommend getting in touch with your rheumatologist as well to see what they say, and also I would recommend checking with your pharmacist and OB/GYN to see what they say about the potential for infertility with this medication.
