molar pregnancy

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 to read this Hun :( I have no advice but I am sending hugs ((())) xx

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.

Aww, Rosie. Sorry to hear this. Sending you loads of love and healing.

Oh Rosie, how awfully unfair. *hugs*
