had an abort 4 months ago- molar pregnancy in JAn. HCG is low. R headackes symptom of recurrent trophoblastic?

I didn’t receive a D & C after the 1st miscarriage (Sept 05). After D & C done during molar pregnacy(Jan 06) i was toldto check HCG every week for 4 weeks and then once every month for 6 months. After 6 months i can try getting pregnant again. I had check the level og HCG during last 4 weeks and it dropped to 3 (still waiting for last test). Next test will be in 1 month etc. Also had an X-ray of torax and was o.k. However, i and having frequent headackes, and some nausea,stomach disconfort. Today after intercourse, also had lower abdominal pain. Does any of this had anything to do with a recurrent trophoblastic disease or not? I live in Norway and here the only measure is taken is to check the HCG level every week (first 4 weeks) and then 1 test every month for the next 6 months. No gyn visit are required during this time. Is this alright? I am scared this might come back as a type of cancer, spreading somewhere else! I will be 38 in 2 months, has no kids, but i want to have a child.

HCG level is the standard measurement for molar pregnancy. If your mole had recurred, your hcg level would have risen. I’m not sure what is causing your headaches, but perhaps it’s stress? As for the abdominal pain, that is common after a D&C because it takes time for your uterus to return to size.
