Hi! I have my hysteroscopy scheduled tomorrow and I’m absolutely terrified to be under general anesthesia. I’m terrified I won’t wake up and then also terrified of waking up to terrible news. Any advice or support is appreciated. 🫶🏼
I learned I had severe Ashermans syndrome about 16 months after having my son via c-section, followed by severe postpartum hemorrhage, and one month later an emergency D&C to remove retained placenta with blood flow still attached (aka RPOC). I’ve had 2 hysteroscopies followed by 3 failed IUI cycles over the course of 9 months. I just had a repeat SIS and there is likely small scar tissue at the top of the uterus but trilaminar regrowth, though my lining only gets up to 6mm thick at most.
We had zero problem conceiving my son, came off BC and was pregnant within 6 weeks. This has been a tough journey with nothing working out. It’s been 6 months since the last hysteroscopy. At this point we have decided to just give it to God, and my doctor recommends taking a break for 6 months from fertility check ins, which we are more than happy to do. I guess I’m just looking for some hope or if other people have successfully conceived again.
(we are extremely blessed to have our perfect son, this journey has been especially difficult for me because my sibling and I have always been very close and I desperately want to give that relationship to my son and have another child get to experience that from him)
Hi All, I'm hoping someone here may have some insight, experiences, or ideas to share. I had undiagnosed placenta accreta with my daughter, born in 2021, and an emergency D&C to remove the placenta. IUD placed 6 weeks later. I had very light periods (more like spotting) for the next 3 years, but chalked it up to the IUD. Once that was removed in 2024, I was on the mini-pill for about a year (once again, when I brought up the light periods to my OB, they dismissed it as part of my body adjusting to the pills). Stopped the pill in May 2025, still had light periods, dismissed by OB again as an adjustment. Saw an REI after 6 months of trying to conceive (I'm 37), and he immediately suspected Asherman's. Had a hysteroscopic adhesiolysis in January 2026. He saw extensive scarring, which was blocking my right tube entirely, but said he thought it was all removed. Estrogen followed by provera to prevent re-scarring. My lining ever since has never measured above 2.54 mm, at any point in my cycle. That's including on Gonal-F, oral and vaginal estradiol. Normal HSG in February 2026, normal SIS in April 2026. After this most recent estrogen trial failed to raise the lining (May 2026), he seems to be indicating I'm out of options. I'm desperate for other ideas: has anything worked for anyone else? Does any of what I'm describing resonate with your case? I tried joining the Asherman's facebook group, but they keep rejecting me because I have a new profile (I'm not otherwise on social media so I made the account just to join). Thank you!!
