3rd Blood Draw Post D & C

HCG - 24 (Yay!  Getting closer to negative!)

Elevated estrogen.

Diagnosis after ultrasound:  an ovary three times its normal size due to three cysts of a variety that my doctor has never seen before. They are apparently caused by the molar pregnancy and the abnormally high HCG associated with a molar, but I cannot remember the name of them. 

Another blood draw and ultrasound on Tuesday to see if the cysts are getting smaller. If not, more surgery for me to remove the cysts before they burst. 

Feeling positive about the dropping HCG, but only cautiously okay with the cysts.

Sometimes we have to go one step at a time. Today, we can be happy for the dropping hCG... tomorrow, we can focus on getting the estrogen down and the cysts done away with.

Sending you warm fuzzies.

I'm glad to hear the HCG levels are dropping. I hope the cysts clear up on their own and do not require surgery.

I hope you can avoid the surgery and the cysts are already decreasing!

Oh man. I too hope that the cysts will shrink and that you will not require surgery. So sorry you have to deal with this!
