What questions should I be asking my dr about molar pregnancy?


Is there things I should be doing or asking the dr about the molar pregnancy? is there somthing I should be doing that will lower my hcg level faster? Should I go have chest x-rays?

Is it a complete or incomplete mole? That means was it diploid (with the normal number of chromosomes-2, one from each parent) or triploid (three sets of chromosomes-one from mom, two from dad). With that answer should come some information about how likely it is to need long term monitoring.

One in a thousand pregnancies are molar pregnancies, some are blighted ova. Your physician will want to do sequential hCG levels at least until they get to normal, which should happen in about 2-3 weeks. Chest xrays are very safe as the amount of radiation you receive is very low, since the film is so sensitive.

I had one about 11 years ago, and had my daughter eight years ago. It is discouraging and disconcerting, but one day this too will be in your past, and you can advise others of your previous condition, and hopefully offer reassurance.

Best wishes.

or www.healthatoz.com/healthatoz/... these sites give good, understandable info on hydatidiform mole.
It depends on what kind of mole you had and what sorts of treatments you are already having. A chest x-ray isn't a bad idea, and for some doctors it's standard treatment, but talk to your doctor first. If you need more information, please visit my website at mymolarpregnancy.com; I had a complete molar pregnancy in 2001 and have run the website ever since.
