PLEASE HELP - The short story - i had a missed miscarriage in August 6th (2nd sonogram) and a d&c August 8th..- I have more-than greived for this one pregnancy - i'm ready to move on - and I just need my body to get on the same page - no period since d & c 8 weeks ago, and pain - I begged my dr for a sonogram to check - they found something - said it was left from the d & c - Anyways - that was wednesday - yesterday afternoon - The doctor called me and said "i'm worried about you" - okay LAST thing you want to hear from a doctor when they call you...she starts telling me that she's scared that I may have had a partial molar pregnancy - does anyone know about this? She said basically what happens is that it's a cromosomal defect that just happens (2 sperm enter egg instead of one - as per internet) Anyways the baby begins to develop but the extra cromosomes cause a cancer-like development as well...this is aparently rare - and in even less rare cases - a woman will get a d & c and they will completely clean everything and the cells will re-grow - HAS THIS HAPPENED TO ANYONE? and actually cause CANCER which can spread to other parts of the body (including lungs brain etc.) one of the mentioned treatments for this recurring thing is a type of chemotherapy - She said that the combination of everything I have and they found could be this - IF ANYONE HAS HAD ONE - PLEASE LET ME KNOW THE SIGNS - she requested that I immediately get her faxed my records from the d & c - which I sent the letter by fax but don't know if they got sent - in the meantime she said the ONE thing i've got going for me is that my levels are dropping - they have SERIOUSLY slowed down - but they are still dropping (Last friday 5.1 to sunday 4.0 to wednesday 3.6) They are slowing down - but as long as they keep dropping she said it's good - and if I go to zero and stay she said I should ovulate and af should come and possible expell whatever is inside on its own - but if the levels rise again - It could mean growth and that's bad - I asked if it could possibly be a new pregnancy because that's how it had appeared on the screen - a blotch like you see at first - she said no because my levels were still falling...So now she BEGGED me to use protection - explaining a pregnancy at this point will seriously complicate things - and told me I need to go there weekly to see my levels - She didn't want to do another d & c (to be honest I'm relieved about that - I don't think i could go through it again) because she said she's not for that idea - if it is the bad thing then it can reoccur regardless of a d & c and if it is something left inside it won't be harming me to wait a few weeks and see if my body will pass it on its own. So now every headache I'm thinking it's briancancer - and completely freaking out - as if I wasn't before - only it just keeps getting worse - I can't even believe all this is happening because I wanted a baby...I need to know what this thing is and when It will be gone...In the meantime I take the antibiotic she gave me to clear up any possible infection - and wait till tuesday when they take MORE blood and test and test... ↓
