Pregnancy after molar. I really need help

I don't really know dates but in July I found out I was four weeks pregnant. I had an ultrasound at 7w5d and the baby was health. My next ultrasound at 11w5d and my doctor told me the baby had been dead since week 8, I waited to pass it naturally but after a month I gave up and had a D&C. Two weeks later I went in for a doctors appointment and she told me that I had a molar pregnancy, partial not complete, and I went through seven weeks of blood tests to make sure I didn't get cancer from it and I had one more test before I started my six months which happened yesterday and I got my results today. My levels were at zero two weeks ago but they have gone up to 156, I was told I have a fifty fifty chance of it being cancer or another pregnancy. I'm pretty sure its another pregnancy but I'm scared because I didn't wait the six months that I'm going to have another molar. Has anyone been through this? If so, was your baby healthy? Please help me I'm only seventeen, I'm terrified.

The first pregnancy me and my husband had been trying for nine months but gave up then the next month found out I was pregnant, that was the molar pregnancy. This time was not intended at all we were actually taking precautions to avoid it because the risks of a repeat molar pregnancy and cancer. That's what so scary about it, if I'm not pregnant, I have cancer. If I am pregnant there's a fifty percent chance it will be a repeat molar and if it does repeat theres a high chance I'm going to get cancer anyway... I'm just hoping it is a pregnancy and I go full term with a healthy happy baby.

I don't know much about molar pregnancies but I'll keep you in my thoughts and I wish you the best! Just out of curiosity were you trying to conceive? I was pregnant and had a miscairrage and got pregnant again a week after (neither was intentional) im now 39weeks, but everyone always assumes that since the 2 happened so close I must have been trying to conceive.

Wishing you the best- I know that wait can be hard- probably the hardest part is waiting.  :(

I was told to come back for a blood test in two days, which is today, to see if my levels are rising and if they I have to have an ultrasound in two weeks
