  • I posted last week: now 12 weeks pregnant with blood test showing very high pregnancy hormone levels. They were worried about molar pregnancy but ultrasound 2 weeks ago looked fine and today the OB and I could both hear a strong heartbeat. Had a repeat bloodtest today, results tomorrow, and now I'm nervous again. Anyone btdt, has reassuring words?

    • Nothing is better than a good ultrasound early in pregnancy. Haven't been there (had opposite problem of low numbers), but good luck.

      • 1st ultrasound we saw the heartbeat, were told everything was looking good, got the estimated due date, it was just so incredible, next one is wednesday and I'm afraid that it's going to have horns or a big long tail or something.

      • They looked for multiples and found only one. I'm 36.

        • sounds all good so far, just high levels. at most, they might find a twin hidden behind the one they found already. gl to you!! p.s. i asked age because sometimes higher levels are more common with older moms - but you're still pretty young.

          • ^^ and now that i'm reading your post again, it seems like you are just wondering if the continuing anxiety is normal. well, LOLOLOL. yes. ;-) entire new universes of anxiety open up. try to remember that and remember that we all just find different places to "put" the anxiety. if that makes sense.

          • Thanks. When I say high, though, I mean really high - over 2 million. They were worried about a complete or partial molar pregnancy. But ultrasound found no evidence of that. So I'm hoping and praying it was just a lab error.
