molar pregnancy

[Rosie85]

I found out a few days ago I have a complete molar pregnancy. I am devastated to say the least. I've been crying for days. I feel so cheated and gross to have thought I was pregnant all this time and instead I've been growing a mass. Always I was wondering if anyone else has had a molar pregnancy before?? I am curious how long you waited before trying again and did you have to have chemotherapy? ? I'm understanding my chances are about 1 in 10??

I'm so gutted after a miscarriage and now this. I'm having a hard time moving on. Maybe I will feel better after the mass is removed next week. Ugh. I hate to say this but why me!!??

I'm so sorry. Why would you need chemotherapy? Did you already have testing? I didn't think cancer can develop until after it is removed and tissue remains???

Once it is removed, they will likely test your HCG levels for a period of time. 6 months to a year I think is generally recommended time to wait after a complete molar but your doctor should talk specifics with you.

I'm very sorry.

From what I have read it's a 1 or 2 in 100 chance of it happening again, so pretty rare.

They thought a friend had a molar. They thought it wasn't in the Womb. She had 4 chemo's and was adviced not to get pg for a year.

In the end they came to the conclusion it was a mc and her body cleaned it up herself. Horrible time it was. (Wich gave her green light to get pg. She got a girl after that.)

The info I got recommended 1 chemo after removing cause they can't see if the flocs were moving around. 1 chemo Should lower risks dramaticly.

I feel badly for you. Hope they great you Well! And this soon will be just a black page in a otherwise very beautifull book

Nuthin. I was told about 1 in 10 women have regrowth issues after initial removal and that requires chemo. Not sure how accurate those numbers are...I was hoping for lower numbers.

I know a girl who had a molar and had to have chemo - I remember her saying at the time how unlucky she must be as molar rare but for her to need chemo was even unluckier - please be assured her story turned out great and she went on to have another healthy happy baby.
