molar pregancy

Lola

Possible trigger

Earlier this year, in feburary, I learned I was pregnant. I was over the moon because before we had struggled for 5yrs to conceive before finally doing <a href="https://glowing.com/glow-fertility-program">IUI</a> and having a healthy baby. When we were ready to do our 2nd <a href="https://glowing.com/glow-fertility-program">IUI</a>, we went for our consultation and routine labs and before the day was over they called and told many labs came back and that I was already pregnant! I never imagined we could get pregnant on our own after all the years of fertility issues. It was a complete shock. We never thought it could happen. The joy quickly turned to depression when no heartbeat was detected between 6-9wks. We learned it was a complete molar pregnancy and I needed to have a d&c immediately. It's been a long journey to "recovery." For those unfamiliar with the molar pregnancy, after d&c, your hcg levels have to be monitored until reaching 0 and then remain at 0 for an additional 7ish months before being cleared to ttc again. The whole process can take up to a year sometimes longer. My levels dropped smoothly so I reached the end this month (8months). This month being the 8th month, was supposed to be my last blood draw and I would be clear to ttc again if I chose to. Instead my last test came back positive which is ok essentially but I cant be excited bc I'm afraid of it being another molar pregnancy. I'm so stressed out and depressed at a time I want to be happy and excited 😔 this anxiety is killing me ...after a molar pregnancy, your chances of it happening again are increased. I wont be able to get an ultrasound for 2 more weeks so im left imagining the worst.
