Snugglybean,

I'm so sorry that it was a partial molar.

For me the blood tests were hard, but especially the first one as I had no idea what my level would be, whether it was still high. You do start to feel like a pin cushion after a while. But thankfully now I'm onto monthly testing.

One thing you may find about explaining the PMP to people is that nobody understands it. I haven't told many people but the only person who had heard about it was a friend who miscarried and had pathology to test for a partial molar as a routine thing. I told my boss and straight away she thought it was cancer.

You may feel very alone too like you're the only person who's had a partial molar. I know I did. I don't know anybody who's had one! But when I was having one of my blood tests the blood collection lady told me they get sooo many women in for post molar follow up.

I think initally the only thing that made me laugh about the situation was that my husband thought it may have happened cos his sperm was just too powerful, 'supersperm' he called it. Aha, yeah darling

I found the initial period after the diagnosis the hardest. Sometimes I thought 'why me?', other times I was happy that I didn't need chemotherapy, then I'd be angry that we couldn't start trying for a baby.

Let me know if you need to vent!
