My Miscarriage and Molar Pregnancy/Rainbow Baby
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 15 янв 2017
- I had two miscarriages in between my son and my daughter. One was an early loss and the other was a molar pregnancy. A complete molar pregnancy is very rare and requires patience a lot of blood work and possibly chemo therapy. This is my story and I hope it can bring hope to somebody out there dealing with a similar circumstance. I got my rainbow baby hopefully you will too xx

Thank you for this video. I too had a molar pregnancy this past September. It was a tough road these past 6 months. I was with a midwife and I didn't have an US until close to 13 weeks. I was referred to an OB whose been amazing. I ended up having a d&c 2 days later. Then I had to get my blood tested every week until I hit negative, which was at the beginning of November. Last Wednesday I had my 6 month follow up appointment with my OB. I went in thinking I was going to get bad news, like we still have to wait a few more months to start trying. Well he told us that my levels have been negative for awhile so we could start trying again. The last thing he told us is that he hopes to see me soon. I was so thrilled and excited. I'm hoping and praying that this is the month we conceive our rainbow baby. If not then hopefully sooner. 😊 Through this journey I've learned so much. To not be bitter, to be patience, and to have joy in the midst of sorrow.
Heather Elliott its definitely a hard journey, but as you said we can learn a lot from our losses and heartbreaks...hope you get your rainbow baby, I wish you all the best:) I just had my little rainbow girl last week:)
Thank you for sharing .this is so helpful. I feel so isolated in my thoughts. Trying to hold it together for myself and my husband.
I have been emotional but keeping it together as much as I can. I found out I was pregnant Valentine’s week and of course shared the news with my husband
Prego test wrapped in a white box with red tissue paper a couple days after v day! He and I were so excited about being parents/ experiencing pregnancy for the first time . So I quickly set up first doctors visit for confirmation. Well of course they make you wait 6-7 week so here we are at our first appointment so excited .. then as the doctor was performing the Transvaginal US
She didn’t see the baby . I work in the medical field oncology to be exact so my mind went there with no hesitation. I said I know HCG levels can be high due to molar pregnancy. The doctor looked at me surprised and said you’re correct it’s a possibility but let’s do more work up in a week labs and US.
This has been the longest week ever. I’m just trusting God’s will.
Praying to be a mother in God’s timing.
@@DrakesNest thank you so much love on the informational video I'm so happy there is information about a molar pregnancy because that would have been good information to receive I had a molar pregnancy back in 2020 and I still suffer from the lost I was 5month I really never got over it and just a week ago I had a miscarriage at 7 months so these video really give me hope
Thank you for telling your story. When I had my molar pregnancy in 2002, there wasn’t much to find on the internet. I was 15 weeks along when they discovered the molar pregnancy from an ultrasound. I was alone at the dr that day, and held it together. I scheduled my d&c for 2 days later.
The most difficult thing for me was the comments people would make. The worst was the “it’s for the best” because I had 3 children already. I loved that “nonexistent”baby just as much as my other children. I ended up getting a tubal ligation after I got my levels back to 0. I have some strange ob/gyn history, so we decided it was best to stop having children and move on. I longed for that baby though. When the due date arrived and I had nothing to hold, I cried and nobody understood. I felt so alone. My friends didn’t know what to say to me, so they said nothing and acted like nothing was happen. They figured I had 3 kids so what is the big deal. One person actually had the nerve to tell me there was never a baby and I’m mourning something that didn’t exist. Biologically, true since mine was a whole molar. But to me… for 15 weeks… that was my baby. I was picking out names, washing the hand me downs, boys and girls.. just in case, measuring my belly, watching my diet, etc….. all the things an expectant mother does. My prayers are spoken today for all the mom’s of molar pregnancies, who also mourn the loss of a baby that wasn’t born.
I had one in 1991. The nausea and vomiting were extreme, to the point my throat bled. At the time of the bleeding and D&C I was 16 weeks (I had turned down an ultrasound because they were still relatively new). MY HCG was a million and a half, which was the highest lab value the lab had ever seen. The whole thing was a nightmare, particularly because there was no internet at the time and no one had heard of it around me. There was no one to talk to for reassurance, except the Dr. at the University Hospital who was not very sympathetic (terrible bedside manner). I felt so alone and confused. I was told to not get pregnant for a year., and I did have weekly blood tests until my value was >1. No one said anything about chemotherapy at the time, although a CT and MRI showed a small "spot" on my lung. They gave me the option of going in to biopsy it, remove it, or "wait and see". I chose to wait and see. I ended up having two healthy pregnancies after that, but I did have 11 ultrasounds with my second child and was considered "high risk". My heart goes out to any woman who experiences this. It was very traumatic. 30 years later, I still get emotional telling people about it.
Going through this right now.. 🥺
I understand what your going through, I’ve experienced the same thing a molar pregnancy and that was a hell of an experience, my first child was a boy and when he was 3 yrs old I became pregnant and my sister found out she was also pregnant so we were going through this beautiful experience together but sadly because of spotting I found out through an ultrasound that I had an molar pregnancy and I was 6 months pregnant when I found out. The Dr at one time actually thought that they heard a heartbeat, I really went through a very bad experience because my stomach was actually growing and after that they gave me a operation and D+C I couldn’t get pregnant for a whole year so they put me on the pill, if I got pregnant they said they would have to give me an abortion but finally after that experience I got pregnant a month after the year was up and proud to say my baby was a girl and she’s 40 yrs old now and I went on and had 2 more babies so now I have 4 beautiful grown children…God is Good

I'm going through this now my first pregnancy is a molar pregnancy. I had my d&c yesterday it's so scary and heartbreaking. I've wanted a baby for so long, I waited got married and this year was finally the year but it went so wrong. I feel like I'm scarred and right now worried for my blood work. I thank you for sharing your story it's always reassuring hearing that someone else has been through the same thing and come out fighting. One day when I'm in a better head space about it I may share my story as well.
Thank you so much for making this video. Ur story mirrors mine so much! I really needed to hear someone else share their experience as I’ve felt so alone x
So sorry ur going through that, you are not alone. Best wishes ♥️
I want to say thank you for making this video. I am currently going through the molar pregnancy process and struggling, but your video gives me some hope. Again thank you.
So sorry you are going through that:/ I’m glad this video helped alittle. Xo best wishes
God bless you for sharing your story!!
Thank you so much for your bravery. This is my first pregnancy and I am the first of my friends and the doctors dont even know if its a molar or just a clot yet and I cant tell you how terrified I have been until this video. your video is all I have for comfort. Thank you thank you thank you
I’m so sorry you’re going through that I’m glad my video could help, best wishes ♥️
I was very lucky throughout my experience with complete molar pregnancy -- first off, I knew what molar pregnancies were before I was told that's what was happening. I only knew from helping my OB/GYN resident husband with his flashcards, but at least I had a superficial knowledge of what was happening to my body.
Second, I was lucky to have been married to an OB resident and had been tracking dates/I had regular cycles. He got me in at 7 weeks, sometimes even too early to see a heartbeat accurately -- both because of his connections in the facility, and because I was *sick*. I didn't have anything else to compare it to, but had started that pregnancy about 15 lbs heavier than I preferred being, and had already lost 10 lbs in three weeks from the nausea. He was worried I had hyperemesis, even though he had passed it off as "hCG is stimulating your thyroid" (which was in fact true, even if hCG is also what makes a woman so nauseated).
The doctor (one of his clinic colleagues) had them grab labs from me, then did a manual exam w/ me in stirrups, preparatory too an ultrasound. By exam I was too big for dates, so the doc questioned if my *husband* was certain.... okay, okay, they know each other and yes we'd been tracking together so he knew too. Besides, my husband's face had lit up at the question, so I was guessing he was hoping twins explained my nausea. Then the wand, and his face was NOT excited. Not devastated either, though, in that instant before "doctors face" took over both of them. Then they're having a conversation about how soon they expected an OR to open up, and my husband is being even more insistent on *finding* an opening for me than I would expect since I wasn't bleeding or contracting. Having this convo between my legs with each other instead of me, too. The wand was still in!
So I put together the fact their minds are going straight to surgery, a bad ultrasound, my horrific symptoms, my husband not crying but instead showing determination there be no delay in operating, and those flashcards -- my husband had nearly lost his mother to reproductive-organ cancers. I knew it had to be a molar pregnancy, likely complete because of my symptoms. What I wanted to know was if there was a healthy twin pregnancy as well, and to verify I really had a complete and not a partial molar pregnancy (my husband would have wanted me immediately operated on even if it was a partial mole w/ a healthy twin pregnancy -- so two babies, just one very sick -- even though the cancer risk is much lower, but this was MY body, and I wasn't sure if I'd want an operation even in a complete molar pregnancy if there was also a healthy twin that could be killed).
So I interrupted them w/ "So, complete mole? Singleton or multiples?" My husband was the one who responded (the treating doc seemed more mortified he'd had such a lapse in professionalism), with "Complete, not twins. There's no baby." Then my Southern self kicked in "Well, don't try to make the man break down an operating room door, honey... I can wait like a regular person, if he'll be so kind as to give me something for my stomach? And, uh, remove that thing so I can get out of these stirrups?" (Doctor's face was puce by then, but he removed the wand and I could get dressed.)
So I was admitted and given enough stuff I was able to eat two meals before the midnight "no food" cutoff, then got a good night's sleep before the surgery the next day. I was sad I wasn't pregnant w/ a baby, but also felt no grief -- a child of mine hadn't died. I felt, in that one small way, I was luckier than many others who experienced early pregnancy loss. And while yes I knew it would delay trying again, I was still trying to find the silver lining. For me it was that I was never carrying "a baby". But that doesn't invalidate another's feelings when they experience complete molar pregnancy -- especially when they aren't 23 like I was.
Thank you for sharing, you are giving us hope!
I have just had a d&c for a complete molar in July. Had my second HCG levels test on Tuesday and they are still high. Thanks for sharing am at least I finding comfort as I go through this difficult time. Its not easy when you get the news of a molar pregnancy especially when you are expecting a baby. When you are told about a possibility of a chemotherapy it's scary. It's a month and a few weeks now but my HCG are still high. This is scary. Thanks for sharing am comforted
How are things now!?
@@showyouwhatsreal Am fine but afraid of trying again. The fear is so much since I had to go through chemotherapy and the whole thing was too stressful.
Hi gn Im currently going through a molar pregnancy. My first two hgc levels were decreasing then the third went up. How long did they take to start you off on Chemo and how many rounds did you receive, if you don't mind@@tiyamikekamwana9206
Thank you so much for making this video. I’m so sorry this all happened to you but I’m glad you talked about it. My story is similar to yours ( except my second miscarriage wasn’t a molar pregnancy but a blighted ovum.) My son was around a year old when we started trying. We got pregnant the first month but i started spotting and then miscarried around a week later. Except I hadn’t fully miscarried and around a month later I had haemorrhaging and an ambulance trip to hospital too. You’re so right, it’s like miscarrying again and was so traumatic. I ended up in hospital a week culminating in a d&c. Started trying again and got pregnant on the third month. Everything was looking positive, I felt pregnant and had no spotting. But at the ultrasound at 8 weeks we found it was a blighted ovum. I had another d&c. The worst feeling I have now is fear it’ll happen again and that there’s no hope for me having another healthy pregnancy. Thanks for giving me some hope.
So sorry, I remember how hard that time was. I wish you all the best! ♥️
Thank you for your video…. Going through this now.
Thank you for Sharing your story. I’m literally going through the same thing right now. My first pregnancy went good and I had twins via c section. 6 years later I tried for my second pregnancy and had a miscarriage at 6 weeks. Half a year later Im pregnant again but went to the hospital with some bleeding and they did an ultrasound sound and said im having a molar pregnancy. It’s so sad and traumatizing having to go through this. But now I see im not alone and not the only one who has gone trough this. Im hoping all goes good during my surgery. But this process will be long because we will have to wait to try for another baby.
So sorry:/ I know how hard and emotional it all is. You are not alone tho. You will get through it xoxo
I’ve had two miscarriages and now after thinking we finally had a good pregnancy and now I’m having a molar pregnancy and I’m so devastated
Thank you for sharing. Also for everyone commenting. I hope I can get baby's in the future as well.
♥️
I had a partial molar pregnancy and a D & C last week. I was 10 weeks along. I am 38 years old. I had lost 45 pounds before pregnancy and really wanted to lose 16-20 more before pregnancy but ended up conceiving the first month we started trying. So I am trying to look at the silver lining here and use this time to work on losing that extra weight. I'm still not sure if I can start trying in a few months or wait a year. If I was younger, I wouldn't be too concerned about time but a year at my age??? I hope not. But we can only wait and see. I have my first appointment to see HCG levels in about a week.
So sorry for your loss and best of luck. ♥️ ♥️
I am suffering from frequent molar pregnancy issues and now its 3rd time to be and soon i have done my d and c everytime i have similar symptoms in my early pregnancy and i got dat again its happening, what symptoms are u notice after molar pregnancy when u conceived pls share
I just came across your video, but I so wish I had watched it back in February when I had my complete molar pregnancy. My hcg levels did not come down as quickly and I had to do chemo. As you know it truly is a rollercoaster of emotions. Thank you for sharing your story and God bless you.
Brittany Longworth so sorry, I know how scary and hard it can all be. Wish you all the best xo
So how you doing now❤❤😊
I know this video is 5 years old lol but I would like to share my experience because it’s hard to find support with a molar pregnancy. I have a healthy 15 month old currently. He was born April 2021 and it was a normal delivery and pregnancy it was easy he was an easy baby. Then in Nov 2021 I took a pregnancy test because I had missed a period it was positive the following month I felt horrible. Nausea, throwing up and fatigue. I couldn’t keep anything down. Well Dec I was so sick but since I have a week off at work I though we’ll it’s normal I’ll just rest then. Then in between I started spotting this dark brown discharge which I though it was not normal but due to insurance issues I didn’t go to the doctors. So Dec 31 2021 I was sitting on a chair and we had New Years plans to go out. Well as im sitting there I poked my stomach like about to talk to my “baby” then I felt a burst of something come out I ran to the bathroom my son was sitting on his high chair. There was blood everywhere. I was crying it was so bad. I bled all nigh until about 1am I cancelled everything and stay home. My partner cleaned up the blood when he came I managed to call him and he took care of our son. He still went out but to wish happy new year to his family came back home quickly.
My insurance was gonna go in effect Jan 1st. Jan 6th I had an ob appointment I think I was like 12 weeks. I told her how I felt and what happened. She confirmed it was a molar pregnancy and that I needed to go see a specialist and go get an ultrasound. The next day I stay home to make all the appointments and I had them for the following Tuesday. Well, at around 5pm I think or maybe later again it happened. I was sitting on the same chair and had to run to the bathroom. This time my partner was here. I couldn’t leave the bathroom and as more time passed I felt more weak and dizzy and lightheaded I told him I wasn’t going to make it to the hospital. We called people to babysit my son dropped him off and then we left to the hospital.
When we got there I remembered I barely made it inside. I told them I was gonna faint and I was bleeding heavily. They got me a wheelchair. Then I waited. Then they took me to a room and they did and ultrasound and they confirmed it was a molar pregnancy. I got 4 bags of blood that day. My hemoglobin was a 4 when I got to the hospital and my hcg levels were in the millions. I started bleeding so much again and with so much pain. I had a D & C a little after midnight Jan 8 I woke up and the resident doctor explained everything went good. I was discharged home that Saturday. I stay home from work all of that week to rest.
Two weeks after the D&C I started bleeding again I called them and they said to wait a couple of hours. I ended up going again to the Er and I was there Friday night and was discharged Saturday night with bad news. Basically the mole was still there and my hcg levels were still rising. I was referred to an oncologist.
Monday Jan 24 I went to her and I was told that it was a complete molar pregnancy and that I was going to need a light dose of chemo Called methotrexate shots. I was getting them every other week. So one week I would get it every day then the next week was my rest week. But my hcg levels would go down on the week I got it but would go back up on my rest week. I had another appointment with my oncologist and she told me the current treatment wasn’t working that I needed intensive chemo or a surgery to remove my uterus. I want to have more children in the future if god let’s me so I choose the chemo. We started chemo is March 2nd 2022 It was suppose to be week 1 inpatient chemo at the hospital for like two days. Then week 2 outpatient chemo. Then week 3 rest week. But again that didn’t work so they removed the rest week. My weeks were week 1 inpatient chemo at hospital, week 2 outpatient then again the following week at the hospital. I went through a lot. I got many more blood transfusions and I had to get some shots for my white blood cells.
From March until June. June 10 2022 was my last outpatient treatment. Since then I’ve been going every week to check my hcg levels. Thank god they have been below 5 but it’s so scary.
The last appointment I had with my oncologist she went over the ct scan results and she told me there was still something there but most likely it was dead cells.
I have my next appointment to get an ultrasound August 1st 2022 and we’re going to see how everything is.
If you read this far thank you so much. It has been a long journey I lost all my hair I still feel weak at times and very tired but hopefully everything goes well.
I’m in the throws of this now - how are you doing?
@@lauraellerman9443 hey im sorry you are going through this. I’m very well. After the August Ultrasound I was told there was still something very small but again it was dead cells. I was going every two weeks to get bloodwork and the were below 5. Basically 0.7 and so on. Then I was switched to go every month. So the last time I went Oct 3rd my Hcg was at 0 yayyyy 🎉 I have an ultrasound on Nov 3rd. I feel more energetic. I’m gaining weight. That could also be from the depo shot I’m getting but I look way better than I did. I have more color now. My hair is looking like I cut it intentionally but it’s still short. It is growing back straight and very thick and soft.
I hope you are doing well.
@@cecicallejas6429 thank you so much for the hopeful and encouraging update - I pray 🙏 it’s nothing but success and great results for you here on out. My last HCG was 12,000 - the highest I ever was for this complete molar pregnancy was 60,000. I had gotten as low as 4,000 but then it tripled so they gave me first first Methotrexate shot and I had a full body CT which was clear except for remaining products in my uterus. My gynecologic oncologist just scared me by saying if the HCG raises again then she will put a PICC line in and start me on chemo combo that will take my hair amongst other things and hysterectomy is always on the table, but I have no children yet 😔. I pray the MTX shot once a week does the trick and I come on down. I’d like for them to do another vaginal US later to see if I have any clumps left in there. Please keep me updated 🙏
@@lauraellerman9443 i know the shots worked for a lot of people. Unfortunately for me they did not. My hcg levels would drop on the week I would get it and spike back up on the rest weeks. I also did get a picc line and it doesn’t hurt it just looks scary and it’s a hassle to shower. I really hope you don’t have to go that route I really wish the best for you and hopefully you get better. If you have any questions you can ask me.
@@cecicallejas6429 thank you so much 🙏🏻
Tell me side effect
Had a partial moler d&c 2 days ago..
Waiting fr my nxt consive,❤️
Pray fr me❤️
So sorry to hear that! Best wishes xx
My wife had molar pregnancy, her D&C compete in 31 August 2021...
Doctor advice we can not take any baby for 1 year..
After 1 year do we have any problems???
We waited as well until doc gave me all clear and I didn’t have any issues after:)
How many months did you wait to get pregnant after having a molar pregnancy? I just had a D&C because of an abnormal pregnancy/Possible Molar Pregnancy and I want to get pregnant soon..😔
My doc instructed I wait. My hormone numbers had to return back to zero, I think I got the all clear at about 11 months to start trying. Talk to your doc and ask, if it’s a true molar usually they will recommend waiting a bit...I know it’s hard! But you want to make sure your body is healthy and ready to carry a new pregnancy, best wishes xx
@@DrakesNest Thank you! ❤
hi and i have a molar pregnancy and my docktor tell me that about 1 year do not have a pregnancy... it has pass 7 month can i have now a pregnancy?
If your doctor said a year then it should be a year probably. I’m not a doctor sorry. Best wishes:)
Sister after your first Mollar pregnancy, did u get baby again without any problem?😢
Yes:) I had my rainbow baby the following year:) she’s 5 now. Best wishes! ♥️
How long should i wait i had a molar and conceived again unfortunately i miscarriaged now for how long should i wait?
My doctor had me wait months after my levels went back down to 0....I would just discuss it with your doctor:)
Thank u so much for sharing your story dear.. i had molar pregnancy last year.. and now i m 4 weeks pregnant.. will have my first ultrasound in two weeks.. i m so nervous.. can't explain in words.. your video gave me hopes dear..
So sorry for your loss:(. Best wishes and congrats on you pregnancy:)
kirti singh what's the result? your baby is healthy now?
I am going thru this right now it is really hard to hear this
Best wishes xoxo ♥️
I had a molar pregnancy..
Last month I'm not recovered as yet
What was your hcg level and at what week?
I'm 19 I'm really afraid it may happen again 😭😭
I was scared it would too, but it didn’t:) just wait until the doc says it’s ok to try again.
How are you doing now Patricia? I just went through this same thing last week😔 but if it helps you feel a little better, it’s very uncommon for this to happen, and while we are more likely to have another since we’ve already had one, it’s still very unlikely. If you need anyone to talk to please send me a message!! Helps to know I’m not alone
@@carolinedarlene8184update ? 😢
😞
I am suffered from two molar pregnancies..God doesn't have me a child 😭😭
navya sharma so sorry:(:(
@@DrakesNest hmm
Just found your video today, hours after I had my own D and C to evacuate my molar pregnancy. Thank you so much for your transparency, but also your message of hope. I know no one personally who has had this, so hearing you share your story has been a breath of fresh air. Thankful that God has blessed you and restored your joy ❤️ and I’m praying He will do the same for me.
Janet Long so sorry, I know what your going through:/ glad this helped! Best of luck xoxo
Thanks for sharing your story!! I am having a D&C tomorrow for a molar pregnancy. I am also a boy mom & my son was probably the most devastated to learn that we were not having a baby- it is so helpful to hear your story- hope you had a healthy delivery of your sweet girl!
Rachel T sorry to hear:/ it does get easier! There is light at the end of the tunnel. Best of luck!!;)
I'm not sure how I ended up here, but God bless you. Your courage will empower many families.
S. Charles Lee thank you that's very kind of you :)
i just wanna say thank you so much for sharing your story! it’s brought me a new light of hope.
😘
Thankyou for sharing your experience. I'm so happy things turned out well for you. I'm 35 and was pregnant in August. A biopsy from a d&c 2 months back confirmed it was molar. It was atypical and appeared as an anembryonic pregnancy. My hcg dropped to 217 ( the highest was 127,000). It has been 3 weeks now and the are now up to 226. My first son was an emergency c section also. He was born with a birth defect that has been keeping all sorts of doctors on their toes for the last 6 years. We were blessed with a brother for him who is almost 2 and healthy. The thought of caring for both children while on chemo (and praying its effective) is disheartening. I know what you mean saying you feel like there is something wrong with you for these heartbreaking things to be keep happening to you. I pray things will be great for you from here on.
It's very overwhelming when your in the middle of it all, I remember that feeling of "something must be wrong with me", Its a lot to take in at first...i promise it gets better, wish you and your family all the best xx
Thank you so much for sharing! Hoping for the best my second time around. You give me hope.
Chelsea Galicia wish you the best of luck xx
Thanks for making this video. I had a d&c 2 weeks ago and found out recently that it was a partial molar pregnancy. I'm pretty devastated but this gives me hope💝
Willene Adendorff so sorry:( I know how hard it is! Best wishes to you and your family! Xo
Thanks for sharing, I am still coping with my loss after a molar pregnancy and very scared about the follow up monitoring and results, hoping it all goes well. I am going for my third blood test tomorrow. Your story is very reassuring and helpful, best wishes for you and your family, God bless you.
Aida Perez Gomez hope everything goes well at you visit:) best of luck xo
Thank you for posting this!
+Jenniffer Leal hope it helped:)
Thank you for doing this video. My doctor believes I have a complete molar and my d&c is scheduled for Monday. I have been literally freaking out on & off worried sick. I have been googleing and doing lots of research. I'm older then you, 39 so I already feel that further complicates things for me. Luckily I do have a perfect son already from my first pregnancy and realize now how lucky I am. I know exactly how you feel. It does give me hope that things can correct themselves and get better, that this isn't the end but at the same time I just feel so very unlucky and sad like why me. I have never heard of these types of miscarriages in all my life. I just don't understand how conceiving a baby can possibly lead to something so harmful to my body. I'm actually very anxious to get this d&c now. I'm just starting to feel more nauseous. My levels were up to 72,0000 on Thursday they were 67,000 at my first scan on Tuesday. So they are going up only a little I guess. I'm just hoping things turn out good like your situation. I'm so happy for you!! 🙏🏻
julybaby19 sorry ur going through that...believe me I know the feeling of "why me"...it's hard to be positive when u have a long road ahead...but like u said, you have a healthy son...focus on the positive in your life...that helped me...and realizing not to stress about the things I couldn't control...it's hard when your body is doing things you don't want it to ya know. But it does get easier I promise and the d&c wasn't that bad. Best of luck xo
Drakes Nest thank you for replying. I haven't been coping well bc I'm so scared it's been really hard for me. I feel better knowing your story was a success :)
Im 29... also have a tilted uterus and had a cmp and d&c at 10 wks (6 wks ago). I get my next round of blood results this week and hoping for a decrease if not a miraculous 0. Thank you for sharing your story. It has definitely been a lonesome experience; no one I know personally had ever heard of a molar pregnancy or knows anyone that has gone thru it. I found your video encouraging as I feel like there is a mountain to climb ahead of me.
So glad this video could help:) I know in the beginning its very overwhelming and sad...but it does get easier.... Especially as u see ur numbers go down. Wish u the best:)
Drakes Nest My dr called today and said my numbers aren't going down as quickly as she expects. It's gone from 527 to 400 over 3 weeks. If it's not too imposing, could you share your experience? Was the decline of HCG slow? She is sending me for another ultrasound and bloodwork this week just to be sure nothing is wrong (regrowth).
tyleeb I think it took me about 4 months before I reached zero...I don't really remember how much it dropped in the first few weeks tho
But it's good they are sending you to check just in case because if there is any regrowth it's good to find out right away
Thank you for making this video, I just lost twins because of a partial molar pregnancy. My D&C was a month ago, I was 11.5 weeks at the time of the surgery but we had known since 8 weeks that something wasn't right because the twins were very small. However, we didn't know it was molar unruly after surgery because they sent the placenta tissue in for testing and I just got the results that it was molar last week. It so so helps to hear other people's stories. This was my first pregnancy and I know lots of women who have had miscarriages but I don't know anyone else that has miscarried twins or had a molar pregnancy or had a twin molar pregnancy, so it can be extremely lonely. Thank you again for sharing your story.
I had a DNC done a couple of weeks ago because of a molar pregnancy. I had a miscarriage 3 years ago. Your video gave me hope thank you
Ru Bee best wishes xo:)
Hi! I had also a complete molar pregnancy last year. I had a D&C after 8 wks due to missed miscarriage. I can relate with what you've been through and I feel like nobody understands my condition that time 'coz it's rare and it's hard to find a chat group or forum that could share their experiences like ours. Neither of my mother's nor father's side had it. I'm so depressed that time since it is my first pregnancy and yet that rare condition happened to me. I'm already 38 and ttc. My hcg dropped to zero on my 3rd month of blood work and was advised to conceive after 8 months which is Feb this year. Now I have missed period and took PT but a faint test line appeared so I'm not sure if it's just the so called evaporating line. I don't know what to feel if I should be excited or just be optimistic but I'm hoping that I could have a normal pregnancy like yours despite of my age. But I feel more confident now and hopeful as your story really inspires me and removes my worries. I agree with you that no matter what you're going through, there's a light at the end of the tunnel. Thank you for sharing.
Mel tenorio so glad this video could help, and I'm so glad women with similar experiences have been finding it and comforting each other;) take a test in afew days and see if the line got darker...and I know it's easier said then done but try to stay positive, had to keep reminding myself to do that... it's so easy to worry that it will happen again...but it is unlikely! Best of
Luck!!:)
Hi, Im from Malaysia, ive also had a molar pregnancy(complete molar) june ago. I was ao despressed, so sad. No one can talk to. They thought that it was just a normal miscarriage. Molar pregnancy is way more terrible than a normal miscarriage. I cried a lot, i dont know what to do. And then i found this Molar Pregnancy Group at facebook. I told them m experience and i felt so sooo relief. Bcs i thought i was the only one who have it, but then they share their experience too. But after a month of blood work, mine drop less than 2. Which is good, the doctor told me that it was a big success bcs you dont have to go to the chemo therapy. Yet still, i was sooo scared. I’d do my everymonth check up for blood work for almost 6 month now. Finally the doctor said that i can conceive on january next year. Deep in my heart, i was so scared if that can be happen again. BUT THEN, i heard you said that have faith. Your video really really make me feel sooo relief. Bcs most of the patients had partial molar pregnancy. Meanwhile, i had a complete molar. Im not so sure the differences between these two, but what i know is google said that complete molar is more dangerous partial molar is. I was cried again, and i found this video, and i believe that it was just a badluck. I love your video, it gives me hope❤️ thankyouuu. Pray for me to have a mirable baby like you too 😊😊😊
I'm so sorry:/ glad my video could help, I wish you all the best on having your own rainbow baby:) xx
So, I just watched this video for a second time bc I find it comforting going through this myself, and goodness we have a ton in common. I'm also 28, hairdresser, and a boy mom. Thanks for sharing. Trying to focus on my blessings and a somewhat hopeful future.
ChirowifeLP I was so nervous posting this originally lol but I'm happy I did...at least it can make somebody feel better:)
Thank you for posting this. I just found out yesterday during my ultrasound that I have a molar pregnancy. There are hardly any videos on it so I appreciate you posting this. My doctor also told me not to google, and I didn't listen to her so I've been panicking all night. I have my D&C next week. How was your D&C experience? I'm afraid of being put to sleep.
Also, I also have a healthy son and had a really easy first pregnancy. It really makes me realize that I shouldn't have taken that for granted
+Pretty Motivated so sorry:/ the d&c wasn't that bad actually so dont stress about that part. Hope everything else goes smooth for you...yea it's hard not to google! Google makes everything seem worse tho, everything will be fine...its just an emotional process:/
Pretty Motivated I had my D&C a month ago for twin partial molar pregnancy and the surgery itself was super easy, I wasn't in any pain, my midsection was sore for a few days and bleeding was minimal. Recovery was way easier than I anticipated.
+Rylee Lokken so glad it went well, yea surgery itself was no problem. Hope your numbers are looking good and are going down fast:)
Thank you for sharing.
I found out that i had a cmp last week at 9 weeks and i have my d&c tommorow. It’s my first pregnancy and it’s honestly really scary hearing about how i might have to possibly do chemo . I hope everything goes well and don’t need to do the treatment ☹️😞
So sorry, I've been there and it's so overwhelming...just take one day at a time, do your best to stay positive....it gets easier I promise xx best wishes
Congratulations on your pregnancy and its wonderful that you recovered from the molar pregnancy. Did you eat a special diet to reduce your hcg?
No just ate well and exercised:)
@@DrakesNest okay thank you for sharing.
@@DrakesNest on 12th week I came to know it's molar pregnancy.just one week before I had surgery. And I have a son. I'm having back pain and I want to do weight loss n more fit so can I go walking and exercise n healthy diet.
thank you for sharing im experiencing this now and it is so hard😪
So sorry! I know how hard it can be...try and stay positive. Best wishes xx
@@DrakesNest thank you
i also had molar pregnancy..but really this video gives me some positive energy... but still I feel some pain about about what's going to happen..I have undergone d&c treatment... now I want to know what to do next.. what type of treatment should I need to continue...please reply me
+vimala moorthy so sorry:/ after my dnc they monitored me for 6 months to make sure my hormone levels stayed at zero. Everybody gets to zero at diff rates I believe. Took me like 3 mnths. If your levels do t go down then there is another treatment u may need. Your doc will talk to u about it in sure. Best advice I can give is to stay as positive as you can:) Best wishes!
Plz can anyone help me i just diagnosed with molar pragnancy because i have started spoting so now i want to travel to another country for dnc can i travel in 2 days
Hi Dizeny,
I just had a d&c yesterday due to the same thing. Hope everything worked out for you.
Thank you so much for this video. I found out yesterday that my current (3rd) pregnancy is a molar pregnancy. I use a midwife so I had no early scans and I had an extremely normal first trimester (sick, tired). I went in yesterday a day shy of 13 weeks and found no heartbeat, so my husband and I went in to the emergency room to get a better idea of what was going on. After another so sad ultrasound, blood work, and waiting. It's a molar pregnancy. The grief is crippling. I'm going in for a d and c at the end of this week and I'm terribly nervous for it to be over with. My hormones are perfect, ovaries, and uterus all are great. Doctor just told me the same thing you were told: it's just bad luck. (I should also mention I too, have had an early miscarriage right before this one) found out at 3 weeks pregnant and got my period at the expected date. So much bad luck. I have 2 boys (ages 4 and 2) and had no complications or troubles with their pregnancies. When do things start feeling better?
ChirowifeLP I'm so sorry your going through this, it gets easier week by week, month by month. Molar pregnancy kind of feels like the miscarriage that never ends:/ Fortunately you have two healthy kiddos just like I had my son...best thing I did was just focus on being a mama to him and counting the blessings I already had bc you can easily get down and impatient...but I promise it gets better, I wish you and your family well:)
ChirowifeLP I thought the same thing, "after the D&C it will be over" but at that time they didn't know it was molar, they sent the placenta tissue in for testing after my D&C. Now, a month after my D&C it feels like my pregnancy loss won't end, every time they draw my blood it's a reminder that the nightmare continues.
:(
