A molar pregnancy is the result of an abnormality that occurs during fertilization where the chromosomes from the mother and father become mixed or the mothers chromosomes are absent all together. When this occurs, the placenta becomes a mass of cysts without a fetus attached. Sometimes fetal tissue is identified but the result of the fetus is a mass placenta rather than a fetus.

Yolk sac with no baby with hcg level of 8000?

Could possibly be a case of a complete molar/partial molar pregnancy. With a complete molar there will be no baby and the hcg levels rise very rapidly and can get to a very high number. With partial molar, there will be a baby but the tissues began to grow and the pregnancy is no viable. The fetus will stop growing and the tissues will continue to grow and the hcg levels continue to rise at a rapid pace as well. This will require a d&c and hcg levels must be monitored after until they reach zero. This could take some time and in some cases further treatment is needed.
