How do doctors measure molar pregnancies?
3 doctors weighed in across 2 answers
Ultrasound and labs: Molar pregnancies are diagnosed by ultrasound. Pregnancy hormone levels are checked and are significantly elevated in molar pregnancies. They cannot be dated or measured like a typical pregnancy, because there is no fetal tissue to measure, so the last menstrual period is used for dating.

No such thing: I never heard of a molar pregnancy. I think this is a typo.
