I guess I'm glad to have answers? The good news is that it's not genetic. The bad news is that we might have to wait anywhere from 6 months to a year to start trying again. In simple terms, the placenta starts growing aggressively and any cells left behind could grow back into cancer. So I have to get my hCG levels checked regularly until they're back to 0 and stay that way. This was caused by 2 sperms fertilizing one egg and occurs in 1% of pregnancies. It helps to know my chances of it having it happen again are very slim...but then again, when you're in that 1%, low percentages are no longer peace of mind. Also, missed miscarriages are common for this condition. So that explains that. And because the placenta grows so aggressively, bad morning sickness and fatigue are typical. I'm thankful to have only had light all day m/s, but that would explain why I felt like I was soooooo much more tired than with my first two pregnancies!
At this point, I'm feeling good about this emotionally. It happened. It sucks. There was a reason. I have 2 beautiful healthy amazing girls to focus on. That helps a lot. I know I still want a 3rd, but this makes me worry if it's the right choice even more.
