This is the story of the last six months of my life told in numbers. It wasn't easy but (hopefully) it is over.
9/17/2009 - 10w6d, baby measuring 6w, :(
9/18 - D&C. No suspicion of Molar Pregnancy.
Bleed for about 4 days, spotted for another week.
10/05 - follow up appointment - everything looking good, cleared to TTC in December
10/30 - still no AF, positive HPT
11/04 - Hcg 373, U/S showed 3.5cm tissue missed, found out that it was Partial Molar Pregnancy. My hcg levels should have been monitored until they go down to 0, but they haven't been, because nobody suspected Molar Pregnancy. MP may cause cancer; I will probably go under chemo therapy. Either way, we'll have to wait to TTC for several months, maybe even a year!
11/10 - Gynecologist-oncologist appointment.
I was given a choice of another D&C (which may cause scarring of uterus causing problems getting pregnant again) or chemo. We chose chemo. I got my 1st Methotrexate shot. I will have those weekly, followed by weekly blood tests.
11/13 - Hcg 220
11/17 - 2nd Metho shot
11/20 - Hcg 51
11/25 - AF
11/24 - 3rd Metho shot

12/11 - Hcg 15

12/18 Hcg 11
12/22 - 7th Metho shot
