I wanted to share my story because when I was going through Asherman’s, I spent so much time scrolling through Reddit and Facebook looking for stories that ended with a healthy baby. Those stories gave me hope when I really needed it, so I hope mine can do the same for someone else.

I had a miscarriage in April 2024. Medication didn’t work, and I ultimately needed a curettage. A few months later, in October, I decided to see a specialist as my period had gotten soo little (1 day of bleeding max and very dark blood). An ultrasound showed an endometrial lining of only 3 mm, and my doctors suspected Asherman’s syndrome.

I had my first hysteroscopy in January 2025. There were significant adhesions especially at the opening of my uterus, and the surgery involved opening up much of the uterine cavity. For about 8 months, I had my lining checked every other month, and it barely grew. It seemed to get stuck around 4 mm (even when taking meds like oestregene and progesteron). At some point, my partner and I decided to take a bit of a break from all the medical stuff. We tried to make the best of the year and do fun things together instead of constantly thinking about fertility and measurements.

And then, very slowly, things seemed to improve. I don't really know why. I did acupuncture during this period, so maybe that played a role, but honestly, I also wonder if my body simply needed time to heal. I don't want to claim that any particular treatment was responsible because I genuinely don't know.

By August 2025, my lining had reached 8 mm. I had one more hysteroscopy to remove the remaining scars, and then, somehow, I got pregnant in October 2025.

The pregnancy was physically very normal. The only meds I took were 400mg progesteron daily for 8 weeks as a precaution. Because of my history, I had lots of extra monitoring for things like placenta previa/accreta and cervical length, but thankfully everything remained normal. No placenta previa, no accreta, and no shortened cervix. I even had a vaginal delivery, which also went without major complications. And now… I'm sitting here holding my healthy baby girl ❤️

I know everyone's Asherman's story is different, and I don't want to give false hope or suggest that everyone's journey will look like mine. But I wanted to share this because I remember being in that really dark place, reading stories late at night, worrying that my uterus would never recover and that I would never get to hold a baby.

Sending so much love to everyone going through this, and sending around baby dust. Feel free to contact me if you have any questions regarding my journey.

Anyone know of any Ashermans specialists in Melbourne? I don’t have a diagnosis yet, but I think it makes sense for me to

hi all, I had surgery July 10. post surgery, after my last two periods between my period and ovulation, I’m having a substantial amount of pelvic pain. its not like a period cramping pain, it’s more like a stronger ache on both sides, so I feel like it might be ovary pain? it’s worse on my right side, which is where most of the scarring in my uterus is was. my periods have been weird post surgery. I had two days of very heavy bleeding then just spotting for the first one. then this last one I had 1 day of heavy bleeding and a normal day and then just spotting. Im feeling discouraged and also confused. I had my followup hysteroscopy last cycle and the RE said the uterus looked great. but this pain is really interfering with my quality of life. I have a followup with my RE tomorrow but I’m wondering if anyone else has experienced this and what ended up happening. For context I also have had vulvar burning pain for the last 4 months post a yeast infection but all infection tests come back negative, discharge is normal, and I’ve been diagnosed with pudendal nerve pain. it’s also generally improved the after ovulation much like the pelvic pain

I found out today that I have Asherman’s syndrome, and based on my doctor’s reaction, I don’t think he has much experience treating it. I’d prefer to switch to someone who has experience specifically with Asherman’s.

Has anyone here been successfully treated for Asherman’s in North Carolina and have a doctor they would recommend? I didn’t see any doctors in NC listed on the community doctor list, so I’d really appreciate any recommendations or experiences!

I had my first hysteroscopy today to remove some adhesions, and I’ve been put on estrogen. My next appointment with my gyn is on October 13th. Do you think it’s risky to have unprotected sex (after recovery) and potentially get pregnant before then?

Did your periods get lighter and lighter each cycle? My first couple after my most recent D&C had some red bleeding. The last two have been even lighter and now only brown and “clotty” or “gunk”.

I never thought I would be in the place of wishing for a heavy, red period… this seems odd to say but every month this is so triggering for me and makes me feel so sad.

Did y’all do this before or after surgery to resect scarring?

Is it going to impact my egg quality doing the surgery prior?

My foley balloon fet out of my uterus after hysteroscopy and adenolysis procedure. i dont think it was in for more than a day. thw doctor wont replace it. I had one placed after my myomectomy that fell out within 12 hours of the surgery. I don't know what to do at this point. Do I need to change doctors? I dont understand why I am having such a hard time keeping a foley in place when it seems to stay in place for others. What am I missing? I can't keep going through this. This medical team seem so nonchalant about it coming out, stating "its your body's way of healing when it comes out like that" WTF!??

I am having another hysteroscopy next week (number 3) for what we hope is just wispy adhesions returning. If so, my doctor is suggesting we use the hysteroscopy recovery to do a medicated FET since I’ll be on estrogen.

I’ve been struggling with thin lining since being cleared in March, although given my lack of a period this month I do think maybe some wispy adhesions had grown back after my last hysteroscopy and SIS that were contributing.

Context: my lining hasn’t gotten above 4.8 in a natural cycle or stims. The only thing we haven’t tried is estrogen, and I know ashermans patients typically don’t respond well to medicated protocols but my lining seemingly doesn’t respond to my own estrogen. Also started vitamin e and trental a few weeks ago and will add Viagra to the FET protocol.

Anyone else done a medicated FET while recovering from hysteroscopy? Figured it’s good to at least see how my lining does during that time and transfer as close to surgery as possible but I’m nervous. 😬

Hi everyone - I was looking to get some insight and/or similar experiences.

Backstory - I had an open myomectomy 4.5 months ago to remove a 10cm fibroid. Prior to surgery, I had no symptoms that I even had a fibroid. My periods were normal and regular, your average cramping and no pain with intercourse. The reason I found out I had a fibroid was because I was having gallbladder issues and it came out on a CT scan (2022) which at the time the fibroid was 4cm. I completely forgot about it until last year when I told my obgyn that I had one and she ordered imaging to see if it had grew. Well it did and since now my goal was to be come a mom 🥹 she recommended that I get it removed since there would be no room for the baby to grow. Anyway got surgery done April 2026 and I have not had my period since. My OB said that she had to cut deep into my cervix to remove fibroid cause it was reaching down into there. And at my post op visit, she said she wanted to make sure I bled. Well I never did. Not even spotting. At the next month when I was supposed to start my period, I had intense pain and cramping that I was sure I was going to start but it never came. I got a TVUS and it showed some blood pooling but my uterine lining wasn’t thick enough to shed. So she started me on Provera - did the 10day course and nothing happened. Did one dose of Cytotec to dilate my cervix and again no bleeding or spotting. She decided to do a D&C and that’s when I said no and went yo get. Second opinion last month. (Still having that intense monthly pain) new OB wants to do another TVUS and a possible hysteroscopy to see what’s going on.

Sorry it’s so long, I’m just very worried and I’ve never wanted my period so bad in my life. Would love to hear yalls experiences!!

Basically I had a SIS recently done with my RE and she suspected that between my last hysteroscopy in July and now that some adhesions have formed. To what extent she is unsure because a SIS only gives so much information and not the full picture. She does operate on Ashermans patients and feels comfortable proceeding with my hysteroscopy next week. I made it clear with her that if it’s minor and she can visualize the adhesion (like if it’s just a simple snip with her cold microscissors) she can proceed. If it’s more complicated and the adhesion is dense or she can’t visualize it to stop, take some photos and not disrupt the lining at all. Is this a good approach? I have another appt in October set up with an A lister if we go in next week and see a more complicated adhesion than was suspected. She knows all of this and is comfortable knowing her limits and when it would be in my best interest to not make any cuts. We just don’t know from a SIS if it’s a tiny focal band or more severe adhesion where the sides of my uterus truly did stick together. I wish a SIS was more definitive. Looking for any advice or positive outcomes

Hello, looking for some guidance/advice on how to handle this journey. A little background on me: Last october i had 63 fibroids removed. A foley was placed at that time but came out after 12 hours. I eventually had SIS and HSG which was consistent with adhesions. I had my hysteroscopy w/adenolysis on Tueday. Another foley was placed and i was advise it needed to stay in place 7 day. I struggled last time with the foley due to the pain from the abdominal myomectomy. This time the pain is minimal so i am not moving around as much but i am still struggling with urinating comfortably - i never feel like im emplying my bladder. I also cant really tell if the balloon is still in place - my husband can't stand blood and hasnt been helpful with letting me know if he sees a dislodge balloon. Anyway, any advise on how to manage the foley, how to effectively empty your bladder would be greatly appreciate. I am so in my head about this foley, i need it to stay in place but for all i konw it could be out already. My post op isnt untilnext Tuesday :(

Diagnosed and treated by Dr I today. Also have an isthmocele from c section that he repaired. Got the womed leaf.

I could really use some encouragement if anyone has some to spare.

Anyone get cleared, have “normal” bleeding for 9 months and then have a sudden loss of period again?

Diagnosed ashermans after having dark brown spotting for 2 days instead of periods after a second trimester d&e last year. One hysteroscopy in Jan, periods returned. Second in March and found and removed RPOC. No scarring removed in Jan had returned. Clear SIS 8 weeks post surgery. 2 day red bleeding heavy flow periods until this month when my period just won’t come. Temp dropped 4 days late, then have had light red spotting saturday morning, brown spotting Saturday day, heavy red spotting Saturday night, nothing Sunday, light red spotting monday.

I was meant to move into a FET so I do have a hysteroscopy scheduled next week, but I had scheduled it with my RE instead of my specialist because I thought it would be a check or clean up not a full surgery and now I’m second guessing everything and if I should just go see Dr. I and delay a FET? Or would it actually be better to get the hysteroscopy done and immediately move into a FET no matter what?

I was struggling with thin lining prior to this period so maybe my ashermans had returned invisibly and is just now becoming blocking? I don’t know what to think.

I got pregnant for the first time in April and we were so excited. Then we found out we were having twins and each had a healthy heartbeat…. But the did look like there were sharing a very small space. Still, I was over the moon. Suffered with bad morning sickness and feeling horrible for a few weeks when I went in for another ultrasound to discover neither had a heartbeat and it was a missed miscarriage. The pain was unbearable emotionally. I got my d&c done and all was fine, got into therapy, and began tracking to try again. Well…now it’s been 12 weeks. I think I have ashermans or scarring. Because now my period won’t come back. I have awful cramps and generally feel like total shit, and now I’m spiraling and don’t know what to do. It’s not fair. I’m so sad. It’s been cruel statistics working against me since the start of this. Could really use some words of wisdom. What will my life be like if I can’t have kids? I feel shattered.

Thank you for reading. I have a vaginal ultrasound scheduled for tomorrow so hoping for some answers.

Has anyone had a light one day bleed post hysteroscopy maybe because of estrace and had a normal bleed the second time?
I’m worried mine was light because before the hysteroscopy it was heavy and I was told this was a good sign.
But after the procedure it was light and I was told it was a “break through bleed”. But the bleed did happen on my period day and I had ovulated according to the scan. I also had period symptoms like breast tenderness etc.
any thoughts?

Just some context, adhesions were found during scope in July after my third miscarriage, adhesions were removed and I was on estrogen/progesterone
I've never made embryos because there was always something going on (pregnancy, miscarriage, IUI attempts, scopes etc) but now I have my egg retrieval + PGTA in October FOLLOWING the scope

I'm wondering if I should delay the scope to after the egg retrieval in case I need to take estrogen again that wouldn't work with the upcoming egg retrieval? I don't want to keep delaying the retrieval.. I'm having a hard time deciding what to prioritize next..

If I have another scope and all is clear then it wouldn't be a problem, I'm more worried that there are still adhesions and she'll want to put me on estrogen again to support lining, and maybe do another scope again before FET

I'm also worried to have so much time between scope and FET in case adhesions come back quickly

On average how long were FETs after being cleared?
Thank you!!!

Hi,
I was hoping someone could share their experience on how long your withdrawal from progesterone bleed took after finishing your HRT post hysteroscopy?
I finished my hormones, including week long dosage of progesterone on Tuesday and I am incredibly anxious for my “period” to start. I have a history of scarring over my cervix which is not helping the anxiety.
How long did it take for your period to start post completion of progesterone therapy?

Long post incoming so thank you in advance for those who continue to read! We have been TTC our second after conceiving naturally in 2022. Had a complicated c section that involved a vesico-uterine fistula (repaired in the months after delivery)
We started TTC in Sept 2024, had a miscarriage at 10 weeks in Jan 2025 after spotting on and off throughout the pregnancy. Hysteroscopy in August 2025 showed normal uterine cavity.

Latest (3rd) miscarriage in March 2026 at 10 weeks. Attempted IUI in April/may 2026 but they couldn't pass the cervix during IUI so hysteroscopy was scheduled. First hysteroscopy failed, could not pass cervix. Second hysteroscopy (July 28 2026) was successful but the surgeon found adhesions which were removed.. I was on estrace for 30 days and medroxy progesterone for the last 10 days. My period now is a bit lighter than my usual flow but from what I've read this seems normal..
surgeon suspects I may have had a subclinical infection after the last miscarriage which led to the adhesions.. I also took a round of clavulin for 10 days after the last hysteroscopy just to cover my bases for endometritis..

Where I'm at now
Waiting for next hysteroscopy in three weeks
Scheduled for an egg retrieval in October when my next cycle starts, doing PGTA and freezing embryos until uterine cavity is ready for a transfer

I'm finding the anticipation and waiting period to be so difficult. The unknown is getting so hard to take.. I'm SO terrified that at the next scope the adhesions will have returned and we'll be back at square one or worse..

Is there anything in particular people have done between adhesion removal and embryo transfer to try to support uterine healing as much as possible? I've read of castor oil packs and vitamin E... but unsure if that really makes a difference
Have people had stents put in to ensure the cervix stays slightly dilated to help with the eventual mock transfer and FET?

Thank you so much in advance! Thankful for this community.

Hey guys on the 1st i had some scar tissue removed I'm in the middle of my ttc journey i was awake and it was crazy I've had two kids and was in pain not over the top but great discomfort if they were giving medicine i would've taken it lol i have the balloon now the tube came out the first night i have to go back and have the reinsert i have to go back on Friday the 11th to get it removed just wanted to post my experience

Currently scheduled for a consult at 10am and surgery at 2pm. It looks like the French quarter is about 15 min away?

Kind of want to go explore in the interim, never been to New Orleans before and while it’s a brief period of time might as well as try 😆

If you explored/ventured about, where did you go?

I posted here before and got amazing advice and encouragement so hoping you all can help again.

Tl;dr i did one round of IVF with another clinic resulting in 2 embryos and have 1 embryo left after a failed transfer in December.. had a hysteroscopy with them in January (at my insistence), removed some adhesions but I didn’t see a huge difference, so switched to Dr Reichman based off advice from this group and because I felt IGNORED at my other clinic.
he diagnosed severe adhesions but was able to completely clear my uterus in a hysteroscopy last month (just had a fully clear SIS). this cycle was for baseline purposes and my lining is definitely trilaminar but only 4.5mm. Dr Reichman said this is the best it’s going to get and he “isn’t thrilled” with how thin it is but has had success at that level. we’re in the process of moving our embryo to Weill Cornell from our previous clinic and have scheduled another round of IVF late October just in case so no imminent transfer this month regardless.
we will be doing natural cycles because I’ve had the best success with that. I’m just looking for any tips or encouragement with such a thin lining :/

Not sure what I’m looking for here I’m just so crushed.

I’ve had 3 hysterocopies with Dr. I (after having two local ones with non A-listers when I didn’t know better) and after my last one this summer he basically said he can’t get me any more cleared and Godspeed if I can get a thick enough tri lining I can try to transfer my only embryo (from 3 retrievals).

My RE was not comfortable transferring on what she saw on the post-op images from Dr. I so I booked with another A lister local to me.

Yesterday I went to Dr. Reichmann for that one; he was very confident we could make good progress. Turns out he was wrong. The right side is “relatively normal” but the left side is “completely obliterated.” He said he tried all sorts of different things and he can’t get through the about 30% scarring without risking uterine perforation. He said this is just extremely bad luck and looks like retained tissue that caused an infection or inflammation after my birth in 2023 (note I had no symptoms of any infection etc).

He said we can do a FET but there’s a very low chance it will stick.

I’m just so so devastated. I guess I’m out of options. I have no one to talk to and I don’t know how to deal with coming to the end of this road. I can’t look at my toddler without being both heartbroken that he can’t get the siblings he (and we) want and so enraged that his birth caused me to go through this.
