How are you doing? Hope you are ok x

something similar happened to me. in that after my miscarriage the pathology results came back indicating that I had had a partial molar pregnancy.. they then brought me in immediately for a beta HCG test and my levels were at 10 and this was about 8 weeks (give or take) after the miscarriage...

Sarah1 - thanks for your reply.. I am sorry that you had to go through all that pain and loss.. it really makes you soul search doesn't it.. but its nice to know that feeling ok about it is not giving up.. it does not take away from what happened, but its nice to be able to look ahead and feel...

Thanks everyone.. no one can tell me why this keeps happening and the last one was a partial molar pregnancy and there were complications as a result of that which was very scary. I am now 37 and for some reason, feel like I would do better to just live my life, which I am very happy with.. I...

I am just wondering is it normal to feel like you have given up on the idea of children? Its been so hard to lose 5 pregnancies and I am not sure if I can do it again.. I would like to think that I can accept my fate and still be happy.. I will always be sad that it did not happen for me, but I...

Just read your post... I hope talking both here and with your counsellor helps.. miscarriages take so much out of you mentally, physically and emotionally. One day you feel fine and then another day it can hit you hard. Its such a confusing time with lots of unanswered questions, and what ifs...

I had HCG in my system for 14 weeks after my miscarriage. I was 10 weeks pregnant when I got the bad news. The only sure way really is to get a blood test and to monitor how fast or slow it is dropping. Hope this helps. Elly x

Only a few days now to the last test.. and today my sister is due her baby! funny old world eh... hard to know what I am feeling.. I am not quite sad.. can't explain, feel kinda dull I guess... anyhoo.. Will post on Wednesday when I have test results from my last test.. and yeah, anyone who has...

Hi everyone, thanks for the replies.. I am sorry I have not been on her in ages.. I think I was in denial again! Back to earth with a bang today.. I am going for a final blood test Friday week which I expect to be normal.. I really am not sure what the future holds baby wise.. feel low today...

Its 5 months later and after being on a high for a few weeks I got the news that a colleague is pregnant. I am happy for her, but its hit me in unexpected ways. I hate that I feel like this. I thought I had gotten over this and was looking forward. Now I find myself sad again. Its likely I can...

Just in case anyone was watching this thread, i'd like to let you know that my levels have now returned to normal but I have to be monitored for a few more months just to be sure. Basically the pregnancy was a partial molar one. anyway, all is well that ends well.. I am not allowed to get...

Hi Hayles.. thanks for asking the question! I am inclined towards thinking a rest for your body will also rest your mind and spirit so that will be good for you.. and you can look forward to the holiday in November.. I hope that the tests you get go well and give you some answers.. Me...

I went for my tests and the level they wanted to see was less than 5, but unfortunately it came out at 10. I have to return in two weeks and have a repeat and also a scan of some sort. Its hoped that the beta hcg does not rise, which is ironic considering when you are pregnant you really want...

Hi everyone, I had m/c number 5 in May, and my test results came back to say baby had an extra half set of chromosomes. This apparently is not compatible with life :( in the same phone call the Consultant told me he suspects I now have persistent trophoblastic disease. I am going into hospital...

I hope you get a BFP. :)
