Christie: I hope that you did not have a molar pregnancy -- the possible consequences are brutal (speaking from experience). You may want to get another pathology report done -- sometimes the sample they take just doesn't have the molar tissue in it, even if it was molar. We've had a few ladies in our support group who've had the same experience. I hope the results come back non-molar, but if they do come back as molar, there is a wonderful support group in yahoo groups (it's called "molarpregnancy") that has been my lifeline through all this. Take care and good luck to you, Christie
