i wanted to know how long it should take you hcg level to drop to zero after a partial molar pregnancy.  It has been 19 weeks and I am still not at zero is that uncommon???

pardon me for being Nieve...What is a partial molar pregnancy?

I am going to see if I can find something on the web.

I did find something and it answered my question.  I Have never heard of this condition and I am truely sorry that you are going through this.  I read on one of the pages about a sudden increase of HCG levels....are your staying where they were when they were checked or are they going up.  I am going to paste the site that I went on for this info.  you can read what it says.  I dont think this is what you are goig through but you have the right to know other things that associate with this type of pregnancy......GL Let us know what happens........

When I had my partial molar in 2004, it took about 4 months for my hcg to go down.  It can definately take a while.  Make sure you wait to ttc (if that's what you want to do) starting from the time your hcg=0.  My dr. reccomended one year but I understand some say 6 months.  I started counting from the day I had the d&c.  I ended up miscarrying my next pregnancy.  They ran several tests but could find nothing.  I'm sure that it happened because I didn't wait long enough.  I'm pregnant again now and things are definately going much better this time.

Good luck.
