Hi everyone. I hoped to never have to post in this area, my heart goes out to all here. This is my story...

2 nites ago I had a tiny amount of watery blood come out, followed by a small amount of brown the following day. I visited my doctor and as expected, she sent me for an ultrasound so that I could hear a heartbeat and put my fears to rest. Bad news, the ultrasound bought up no heartbeat (should have been able to detect one at 7 weeks preggie) and the screen was pretty much just looking like a snowstorm. I was told there was a large amount of tissue in my uterus and no evidence of a normal 5-7 week pregnancy. I told the lady doing the scan that I had an appt with my dr this morning but she didn't really seem to care and said she'd fax her report thru to the dr.

Last nite I started bleeding quite heavily, a mixture of bright red and dark red blood so I went straight to the hospital's emergency room. I was told it looked like a normal miscarriage and to go home and rest. Then first thing this morning my dr rang me and told me that the scan report showed a tumour in my uterus and that I needed to get blood tests done immediately and that she'd booked me in with a gynocologist for this afternoon. The news just gets better and better The gyno explained to me that I have a molar pregnancy where the cells making up my placenta just kept rapidly reproducing until they just wiped out my baby and everything else in my uterus. Usually the cells stop reproducing at a certain point but mine didn't. They have also broken thru the walls of my uterus and have caused a growth on the other side. So on Friday I'm booked in for a curette. They need to test the cells to see if they are benign or malignant. There's only a 2% chance of malignancy. But I must be extremely special because the chances of a molar pregnancy happening is 1:1200. So safe to say that I'm heartbroken by the loss but am remaining positive that I will carry another baby to fullterm down the track.

Depending on the outcome of the curette results (partial or complete molar pregnancy), I'll have to wait 6-12 months before I'm allowed to try for another baby. My fingers are crossed for a waiting period of only 6 months...I'd like to hear some 'good' news in amongst all this. I still can't quite believe all this is happening.
