You doctor may suspect a molar pregnancy is you have a high level of
human chorionic gonadotropin (HCG), the hormone measured in a routine

however, and some molar pregnancies do not have high levels of HCG.
An ultrasound of the pelvis typically can confirm a diagnosis of a molar
pregnancy. Ultrasound uses sound waves to show an image of the contents
within the uterus.
