Information on Molar pregnancies? (Ended)?

I have had two full molar pregnancies- they were twin both times. (Babies did not form, and had to have them removed) It really hurt emotionally- and noboby know about about them! I am scared to try to get pregnant again. Please any information would be great- God Bless You all!

apparently the risk of having a molar pregnancy after already having one is about 1%.
The odds are definitely in your favour to not have it happen again.

Hello again.

Have a look in the wiki pages below.

Molar pregnancies are a disease of the placenta (initially the TROPHOBLAST). It causes the formation of an abnormal tissue (not foetal tissue or maternal tissue) inside the uterus and also secretes beta-HCG.

They can rarely turn into a rare form of cancer (choriocarcinoma)

They have a very odd appearance on ultrasound and this is usually enough for the diagnosis.

They should be removed surgically by D&C

About 90% of women who have molar pregnancies removed require no further treatment. Careful follow-up treatment is very important, though. A blood test for hCG (human chorionic gonadotropin) should be performed weekly until it has returned to negative, then monthly for 6 months to 1 year after the surgery, to determine whether complete removal of the molar pregnancy was successful.

Patients are advised not to conceive for one year after a molar pregnancy. The chances of having another molar pregnancy are approximately 1%.

I ahd a molar 7 years ago. Since then I have had 2 perfectly normal babies. The odds of it happening again are so low. It is important that you wait that year though.
First off I'd like to wish you my condolences for having to go through the anguish of your losses.
You should have been given the advice not to get pregnant within a year of having this type of pregnancy. So any and every precaution should be taken to be sure of this. I also hope that serial beta-HCG levels were done to ensure it droping, including a chest x-ray, baseline blood work-up and doctors tend to do vaginal cultures to rule out any undiagnosed STD. Serial b-HCG levels are done because these pregnancies have a possiblity to be malignant and treatment should not be taken lightly. Some women have to start some type of chemotherapy, ie. methotrexate and actinomycin. Being scared is natural especially if something is new and/or unknown, "Better the devil we know than the devil we don't." With situations like this knowledge is power and you must fill yourself with it to acheive your goal, such as having a family. Please be certain to get important information from reliable sources, library and doctors (Gynecologists/Obstricians). See if there is any type of support group in you local area that deals with this inparticular, grief couselling or couples having conceptual difficulties. The best thing you can do is to relax, get some exercise and just deal with your problems as they arise, as stress can also hinder your goal.
I wish you and your partner the greatest luck and health.
