I wonder if I come across any people that have actually heard of or suffered a molar pregnancy themselves! It's a sort of tumour that grows rapidly either alongside or instead of a foetus, which can turn cancerous. It's what I've been dealing with since July..it made me so ill- I was bed bound for weeks, it triggered such bad anxiety, and caused me to lose my place in college.
I had to have an emergency d&c to remove it, I send off blood and urine samples every two weeks for the next year for my hcg levels to be checked. They need to be at 0, if they rise it means the mole is growing back much like a cancer, which can spread to the lungs, and brain. So chemotherapy is what's used to kill it off..
My worst fear came true, my hcg levels have risen and I may be needing chemo 😔 there is a high cute rate of this, but it's not 100% and I am frightened to death, it's such a lonely position to be in.. I went from thinking I was pregnant to finding out I had a tumour. I am only 18, so it's harder to speak out about.. Even though I've been with my boyfriend for 2 years there's still a stigma attached because I'm young.. I still feel I've lost a baby..It's all so much to take in.. I can't get my head around it. My health fears are coming true, and along with molar pregnancies tend to come a lot of other health problems, as well as this my boyfriend is suffering from depression so I try to hide my worries from him. I finally got myself to see a counsellor to let it all out to someone.. but he was so horrible and made me feel so self centred. I don't really expect any replies but I just needed somewhere to vent 🙇🏻
