Hi, I also had a molar pregnancy almost two years ago. I did not have a test done for my hcg levels before the d&c but I had three more done the next three months. The first one had declined a lot, but was not 0, the second one was. I think you should wait some more to see how the levels turn out. Good luck! Lia.
