partial molar pregnancyFrom: Mary (anonymous@obgyn.net)Mon, 22 Feb 1999 19:24:57 -0600 (CST)
On December 8, 1998, I had a miscarriage, which was right around my 9th week of pregnancy. I had been having problems from the beginning of the pregnancy with spotting and light cramping. Prior to the miscarriage I had three ultrasounds and number visits for blood to be drawn. My doctor thought that I had normal spotting that was probably due to implantation and I was told to rest. Well, as I began heavy bleeding I went in for another exam. This was when I was told I had miscarried. They did a D&C, at my request, and I was told to come in four weeks later. When I went back after four weeks, the doctor told me after my next period started I could try to get pregnant again. I then asked how the lab results turned out. He said he did not know and would check on them. Two weeks later he called and told me and explained briefly that I had had a partial molar pregnancy and to come in for blood work, once a week for a month. I came in for blood work as told for three weeks and was told everything was fine and I could get pregnant. My husband was concerned and his aunt, who is a doctor (not a ob-gyn), also expressed her concern. The aunt felt I should inquire again about whether pregnancy is wise at this time. After a lot of run around, the doctor's nurse said I should wait 6 months, and before trying come in for a hcg (?) blood check. I'm not sure whether my doctor is familiar with a molar pregnancy. I have read where you should wait a minimum of 12 months. I have seen my doctor for regular exams for several years, and I have always been satisfied with his care, yet I am unsure latly as to whether or not he is the best person to consult at this point. Am I overly worried, or should I consult another doctor? How is the follow up treatment suppose to go for a molar pregnancy? Please let me know something. Thank you.
