WTTC Sucks!!!

terajet · #1 March 15th, 2011, 01:14 PM

I posted the other day that my loss was diagnosed as a molar pregnancy. When I went for a follow up visit to get more test results it turns out that the report stated a possible molar pregnancy but that further testing needed to be done on the tissue. I could take up to 3 months to get the results. In the meantime my doctor has me on strict orders not to get pg. URGH!!!

I want to do what is best to make sure I have a healthy pregnancy the next time but I feel like if the test comes back that it wasn't a molar that I will have wasted all this time. So far my HCG has dropped rapidly and was at 7 as of last week . He is pretty confident that everything will be fine but we have to play safe.

The doc wants me to take the BCP but I refused. I will temp and use other methods. I want my body to be ready when I get the green light to try again.

Sorry for the vent but I am gearing up to O and it's so frustrating. You always want something more when you can't have it...

I hope you all don't mind me sticking around while I wait. I find this board extremely entertaining and you ladies are the most supportive people I have ever known.

Yeah, I hear ya. I had to wait forever it seemed for my body to reset. My m/c was 3.5 months ago and this is the first month where I was back to normal.

I agree with you 100% on the refusing BCP.
I hope your testing come back earlier than projected!

I know every situation is different, but I have to add my experience about the testing. With my loss in Oct/Nov, my doc told me she suspected a molar pregnancy. I think in my case, they suspected a partial molar b/c there was a baby at one time, but the placenta looked abnormal. I had a D&C, and my doc called me within 2 days to tell me that it was NOT a molar, and that I needed only to wait one cycle to TTC. Why are these results taking so long? Do you know? I feel your frustration b/c a molar pregnancy is a scary thing to be diagnosed with, but to have to wait 3 months for complete diagnosis? That is a crazy long time. Molar pregnancies need treatment and monitoring. Maybe it is worth a phone call to the Dr's office to see if they can put a rush on that. Your HCG levels being so low so soon is definitely a great sign!

Hugs! I am sorry that you have to wait. I hate waiting period. Do you do any crafts that you do to keep your mind occupied?

I live in a small community in Northern Canada. Everything has to be shipped away for testing. He is currently treating me as if it were a molar just in case. The 3 months is his guess based on his last patient in a similar situation.

Waiting sucks and I hope you get your results sooner than expected!!!

I am currently knitting a sweater for DH. Then I have other projects planned to keep me busy.

I am not a patient person at all Terri so I understand how you feel. In your situation though I think it is better to be safe and wait it out. But I would not go on bc pills either... took them when I was younger with a bad experience.

terajet · #10 March 16th, 2011, 07:12 PM

I also had bad experience with BCP when I was younger. I am definitely going to follow the doctor's orders but I just had to get it out.

I swear....just because we can't DTD right now (I am in my fertile days) I want to sooooo bad...(sorry TMI).

Good luck to everyone else who is trying to catch their egg.

I agree my dr told us to wait 3 cycles. I want to dtd even more now then ever! But we really cant one i want to go with what the dr said it just feels right to wait since my cycles are never the same. 2 i have to fit in my wedding dress in june! my mind is just set to baby mode..

lindsey2000k · #12 March 17th, 2011, 05:34 AM

I am so sorry waiting is the hardest part. I have been waiting for almost a month now to just miscarry. We are going to wait until July to TTC. I want to let the new meds he gave me build up for 3 months and I have to wait until I get A/F next cycle then go for more testing when I do not have pregnancy hormones left.

WAITING SUCKS

So sounds like you and I will be TTC buddies this summer though!

Yep that is the only thing that keeps me moving forward is hoping July hurrys.
I just passed the sac & baby so I should be on my way to closer to TTC now.

terajet · #15 March 17th, 2011, 07:22 AM

Sounds silly to say I am glad you've passed everything but I am. A loss is painful enough without it being prolonged. It takes a very strong person. I had a D&C because I just couldn't bear the thought of having to wait days, weeks and/or months for it to happen naturally.

It is definitely one step ahead on your TTC journey.
