Is It Possible For Trophoblastic Tissue To Spread To My Lungs?

Hello! I experienced a partial molar pregnancy in the fall with 3 weeks of negative of testing and an additional 2 months negative, with the last test of hcg being the end of March. My period is late (expected March 26th), but tested negative using first response home test on Saturday. I visited the DR office today (walk-in) and found out I have severe bronchitis. If symptoms continue after a few days X-rays will be required. My question/concern - is it possible that andy of the trophoblastic tissue spread to my lungs; even though I ve been testing negative with my beta hcg? And secondly, do you have any advice regarding a late menstrual cycle?

Thanks for your question on HCM.
I can understand your situation and problem.
There is very rare possibility of spread of trophoblastic tissue in lungs. So no need to worry much for this.
Bronchitis is inflammation of bronchi and it can be due to viral infection. And it is common thing to occur. No need to find connection between bronchitis and molar pregnancy.
Start treatment for bronchitis. You will be alright.
For irregular menses, I advice you to consult gynecologist And get done complete hormone study to rule out hormonal imbalance.
I find this answer helpful
