HCG levels and Tumor?

[aeh007]

7 weeks ago I misscarried at 5 weeks. My HCG levels were 500 at this time. I had tenderness on my right lower abdomen at this time so an internal ultrasound was done to eliminate an eptopic pg. Nothing was visible on the ultrasound. I have continued bleeding over the past 7 weeks, so my HCG levels have been closely monitored. I have continued to have pain on my ride side. 2 weeks ago I was only down to 350. They were checked again 2 days ago and had climbed to 600. They did another internal ultrasound yesterday and noted that my unterus and both tubes were free of any remaining tissue, however attached to the outside of my uterus was a mass measuring 7.5 cm. (on the right side, exactly where I have been feeling pain). There  was also fluid present in my pelvic area. They took my HCG levels yesterday and they were down to 250.
My doctor wants to surgically remove this mass as soon as possible, but has told me that he truly does not know what it is or why it is effecting my HCG levels in this way. Originally, he thought it was a molar pg. by the way my levels had jumped so quickly. However, the HCG levels dropping yesterday do not indicate this to be the case.
During the past 3 days, the pain on my right side has intensified to sharp pains that are very uncomfortable. I have also been experiencing an abnormal amount of heartburn/gas.
The vaginal bleeding has continued.
Any thoughts and insight will be greatly appreciated!
Thanks,
Anna

I did end up having emergency surgery this week. Uhg. Still recovering, but I am beginning to feel a bit better none the less. Apparently, this was a SECOND pregnancy and it was in fact, eptopic and had begun bleeding internally. Thus explaining why my HCG levels were at first low (1st miscarriage) and then jumped up again (2nd pregnancy) and then began going down (2nd miscrriage). It was about 4 weeks along. So, apparently, you can get pregnant during a miscarriage! Good to know. Anyway, they removed it with no problem and the pain and bleeding have stopped. I am SO relieved to have this ordeal overwith and get back to feeling like myself again.

By saying "if the one that went down was wrong" I meant "if the hCG level that went down after the others were going up was wrong, or  inaccurately measured, or just one of those flukey measurements that hCG levels can do on a given day," then you still could be at risk for molar.  Good luck, tell the doc NOW that you have pain, and schedule that surgery!  Annie

My first thought as I read your story was, HAVE IT OUT immediately. If the hCG levels are all accurate, it could still be an ectopic that has finally failed, but molar pregnancies are nothing to mess with either and if the one that went down was wrong, you aren't out of the woods there either.  Try to schedule the surgery right away, call your doc and explain the pain.  You really don't want to have to go in as an emergency case if you can help it!!!  Good luck, and my prayers will be with you.  Annie
