I got pregnant the first time and delivered at 23 weeks, my daughter was born at 1pound 3ounces had a lot of difficulties but is a happy healthy 4 year old now. I love my daughter but still feel sad that I didn't get the chance to have a real pregnancy, I was in a hospital on bed rest from 17 weeks on, and never got the chance to get big, take birth classes, breastfeed, hold my newborn, all that. Hubby and us decided after 2 years to try for #2. I got pregnant,but at first doctors appt was told there was no heart beat, turns out it was a molar pregnancy, which is where the body basically makes a placenta but no baby. Had the surgery to remove it and went thru the year and a half of testing to make sure the cells didn't come back or become cancer. They removed the cells by a D&C with suction which is the way they do abortions. Could it have harmed my ability to concieve somehow? The doctors all said after waiting a year I should be fine to try again. It's been 2 years now and no luck.

I had a molar pregnancy in 2001 and conceived my son in 2002, so it is possible to get pregnant again after a molar. It sounds like you had a tough time with your first pregnancy as well; its possible you are just someone who has trouble getting pregnant. I am sorry for the difficulties you've had so far, and I wish you luck in the future. If you're ever looking for support, I run a web site for women who've had molar pregnancies, and there are all kinds of groups you can join through Yahoo Groups. I run one support group for women with molars, and there's another called New Beginnings After Molar Pregnancy that's for women trying to conceive after a mole.

my husband and i have been trying for nearly 2 years now, i had one pregnancy and it miscarried; i never had a D/C and have been told multiple times by different obgyns that i didn't need one and i was fine. so sometimes, it just takes time, just keep trying, i know how you feel and it feels like it will never happen, but hopefully it's just aroudn the corner.... if you continue to have problems i would see a fertility dr. and find out if it something that they can fix
