Speaking from personal experience (I had a twin-partial molar) and from many others' experiences (my molar pregnancy support group has over 300 members), the vast majority of both kinds of molars (complete and partial) are diagnosed after pathological testing is done after a D&C. My twin-pmp was diagnosed via u/s and confirmed via pathology. You can't always go by hcg level, as some women's levels aren't sky-high (mine was only 3800 before the D&C and went to negative within 3 weeks after the D&C). My babies passed away at 11 weeks, 3 days but the u/s wasn't done (a regularly scheduled u/s) until 17 weeks, as we didn't know there was any problem with my pregnancy. Partial molar babies pass away at different times, there just aren't any concrete "rules" to this very tragic situation, unfortunately. I don't know if any of this helps, but if it turns out you do have a molar pregnancy (and I pray you don't!), please feel welcome at our support group http://www.groups.yahoo.com/group/molarpregnancy. As I said, there are over 300 women there who've been in the same situation, understand all it entails and can answer your questions and concerns. Take care...
