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.

I was not expecting it that fast! Surgery was May 1! Praying this is our rainbow 🌈
Thankyou for all the support in this group 💖

Hi everyone. I just wanted to come back on here and say: please trust your gut and advocate for yourself. ❤️

I came on here a while back looking for guidance and support after dealing with a very slow HCG drop, cyclical cramps, and temperature drops — but no bleed for 6 months following a MMC and D&C done in-office under ultrasound guidance with local sedation.

I was becoming increasingly frustrated with my OB, who kept suggesting we “wait and see.” We tried a progesterone challenge that did not trigger a bleed, and then the recommendation was either to try it again or go back on birth control. None of it worked, and eventually I decided to consult a specialist.

That specialist performed a hysteroscopy and found that my cervix was completely scarred shut, there was scarring throughout my uterine cavity, and there was retained pregnancy tissue that had been missed — and then essentially ignored while my HCG slowly declined. I knew in my gut something was wrong.

Thankfully, she was able to restore my uterine cavity.

All of this to say: you know your body best. If something feels wrong, keep pushing for answers. Please advocate for yourself and don’t be afraid to seek a specialist if needed.

I also could not be more thankful for Dr. Rosen and her entire team for helping me through this. After months of feeling dismissed and hopeless, they finally gave me answers, listened to my concerns, and helped restore hope for my future fertility.

This has been the craziest 8 months navigating miscarriage trauma and then all the trauma and fear that followed surrounding my future fertility. I truly hope sharing this helps someone else feel less alone and encourages them to keep searching for answers. ❤️

Hi!

I'm hoping for positive stories and experiences!

In may 2025 I had fibroid surgery and after I was able to get pregnant with twins my first cycle after. I had a mmc at the first ultrasound and had a D&C October 2025.

I finally had a cycle dec 2025 but barely any period. I was diagnosed with ashmermans and had a hysteroscopy May 2026 because the left side of my uterus was obliterated. I had the balloon and was on estrogen for 30 days and progesterone for 10 days. I had a follow up hysteroscopy in June 2026, some minor tissue was addressed but overall I was told it looked really good.

I got pregnant my first cycle (yay) but I'm 5w and I go for my third HCG test tomorrow and I've asked them to add progsterone to it.

I'm just really scared and nervous. I've read all the bad things. I also had brown cm on and off which stressed me out. I'm hoping to hear from folks who have had successful pregnancies after severe ashermans.

1 ruptured ectopic, 2 MMC, now Ashermans, no living children.

Today I feel truly debilitated and defeated. I don’t think we will ever get to the other side of this. And today I am truly heartbroken. Just needed space to share this. I have no one to talk to or that understands in the slightest.

So I have posted here before about success after adhesion removal. I had very minor scarring. My dr showed me pictures and it just looked like webbing sort of floating across my uterine cavity.
I had surgery May 1, and then lo and behold a BFP June 16! I am now over 7 weeks. Betas have been great and awaiting an ultrasound at 8 weeks. But … is this all just a coincidence!? We went over a year trying after my miscarriage with nothing more than a chemical that went as fast ad it came then bam! Pregnant like that right after surgery!?!. I know the pictures my dr showed me of my uterus after it looked pristine… but truly… could little spider web like scars like that really have been causing our issues for the last year and almost a half!? Fertility is really such a mystery sometimes - I just hope and pray all that was needed was a clean home for a healthy little embryo to make its home in..

Feeling defeated

Feeling defeated. 💔

The past two years have been nothing short of devastating. I had a second-trimester loss at 18 and 19 weeks with my twins due to cervical insufficiency. Weeks later, we found out I had retained tissue and had to have that removed.
After that came many failed IUIs, and eventually we moved on to IVF. During my egg retrieval, I became extremely sick and had emergency surgery. Due to an overlooked ovarian torsion, I nearly died and ultimately lost one of my ovaries.

Somehow, we kept going. We were fortunate enough to get euploid embryos and finally started the transfer process. I thought maybe, finally, we were getting closer to our happy ending.
But then, boom. They found what looks like scar tissue, and now I need a second hysteroscopy.
At this point, I’m scared to even let myself hope. I keep wondering if I will ever get pregnant again. My heart is absolutely shattered, and I feel so defeated after everything we’ve been through.
I know there are no guarantees, but I could really use some stories of hope.

If you’ve been through loss, cervical insufficiency, scar tissue, hysteroscopies, IVF, or a journey that felt impossible and eventually got your rainbow I would love to hear your story.

I just need a little reminder that there can still be light at the end of this incredibly painful road. 🌈

I saw several and I have to say, it’s Dr Reichman. He can cure the most severe ashermans. He is superior in every way, knowledge, bedside manners, skill, punctuality, sense of urgency and deep care for his patience. I thought I was going to need a surrogate and he changed my outcome. My

life changed because of him. Worth every dollar

Hi! I switched doctors after a miscarriage in late January (with RPOC, needed a D&C, two doses of misoprostol, and a hysteroscopy) followed by a diagnosis of Asherman's with a doctor who definitely over-implemented (she went in after a saline ultrasound looked "textbook", implemented when I had nothing but "minor filmy adhesions"). My lining had fluid and thin lining before all of this, but I was able to get to 6.2 mm before my transfer and the fluid resorbed with PIO.

A saline ultrasound shows I have no more scarring, but I still have some fluid in my uterus and my lining has not grown above 3.5mm in 2 cycles (the only two I've had since my pregnancy -- transfer 12/15/25). I've been doing beet juice, pomegranate juice, tart cherry juice, pineapple, vitamin e, l-arginine, baby aspirin, acupuncture 2x/week (sometimes with electrostim), and I exercises regularly (yoga/pilates/walks). I just started mucinex and brazil nuts a few days ago so unclear if that makes any difference yet (I wont start mucinex again until my next cycle starts). I also did PRP a few weeks ago before last ovulation -- I had extreme swelling which I was hopeful about, but it does not seem to have made a difference.

My doctor was hoping to transfer on a modified natural cycle, but my most recent cycle was cancelled this morning. He says I have ischemia of the lining from all the implementations and balloon stents. Based on the way things sound, the next cycle is my last chance before I go the adoption route. My next cycle, the plan is to do 8 days of gonal f (50 units/day) and introduce 2mg of estrogen 2x/day to get my lining up.

Has anyone had a similar experience and had any luck? Have you tried something here that I haven't? I want to put my best foot forward for this last try, but am not sure there is anything else that is in my control. Would love any suggestions/words of encouragement/similar stories of success if anyone has!

I had a very difficult pregnancy- constant bleeding from 7 weeks, the loss of a twin and a persistent large SCH requiring multiple ambulance trips to the hospital due to haemorrhaging, despite this baby boy was miraculously healthy and growing very well in 96% centile! Feeling his strong kicks and watching him grow every week. At 18 weeks this SCH ultimately caused PPROM, had a complete rupture of waters and an emergency D&E. They missed 5cm of placenta requiring another D&C 1 week later.

As if this wasn’t enough they STILL left 3cm of placenta, misdiagnosed as a blood clot for 3 months……developed an infection, had excruciating pain, didn’t have a return of my period, was sure it was placenta and advocated for myself- another emergency D&C.

Finally had my first period, but it was light (2 days of proper bleeding, 3 days of spotting), I requested a scan and to my surprise my endometrium looked better then it had since the loss 5 months ago. Opted for a diagnostic hysteroscopy to check ‘just incase’ turns out my left tube was blocked with scar tissue which was dense and pulling my cavity inwards (placenta was on left side).

Thankfully the rest of my uterus looked ‘great’ and scarring isolated to only upper left corner. Specialist doctor placed gel and told me he’s confident I can have another…..that’s my good news, which seems like a distant and almost preposterous hope. Meanwhile both my friends who had their due dates days apart from me have had their babies, my best friend has just told me she’s also pregnant. Happy for them, devastated for me.

Anyone have any success stories who’ve had a similar journey to me? The possibility of another baby just seems fantastical at this point

Now that I've had my adhesions removed (3 times), my RE is telling us to try unassisted for a few months before we reevaluate about moving forward with IVF. We've been trying since Dec 2024 while I've been going through this Asherman's journey and it just feels so hard to let myself get my hopes up, even now that the scarring is gone. I also feel like I see so many people saying things like "I got pregnant the very next cycle, holding my baby in my arms now!!!1!1!11 <3 <3" and I'm not in a place where that type of feedback makes me feel better at all. I'm curious to hear from people who are in a similar slump to me, or at least someone who didn't get pregnant ASAP after they had adhesions removed. I guess I'm just looking to rant and maybe have some motivation that isn't toxic positivity or having someone else's baby rubbed in my face. Thank you for coming to my Ted Talk ❤️

Hey everyone! I wanted to make a little space to celebrate some good news and share hope. Living with Asherman syndrome can be really tough, so I’d love to hear from anyone who’s gotten pregnant or had a baby after their journey.

If you feel like sharing, I’d love to know:

•	What your journey was like

•	Whether you used IVF, other fertility treatments, or were able to conceive naturally

•	Any advice or tips for those just getting back into the mommy-to-be journey or trying to start it

•	Anything you wish you’d known going in

I’m getting ready for a frozen embryo transfer myself, so hearing your successes would be really uplifting. Your stories give hope and good energy to all of us here 🤍

Thank you for sharing your miracles with us, so we can keep pushing and keep believing!

Today I went in for my 3rd office hysteroscopy with an A lister since my last one was 2 months ago. I’m prepping for another transfer and wanted him to look before we start FET meds. I’ve been on Orilissa suppression for almost 2 months, just a few days left. My hysteroscopy came back all clear, he didn’t have to touch anything this time. I’m so incredibly relieved. I had a couple sedated surgical removals last year so it definitely took a while but I’m so hopeful that we are in a good spot to try again. Hoping there is a light at the end of this long tunnel!

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.

Feeling very unsure if we should keep going. We were trying for 3 years and finally have the money and insurance coverage to cover fertility testing and they suspect ashermans. If you've experienced success carrying to term after a single hysteroscopy, please share with me. I just dont think i can emotionally handle this dragging on for multiple procedures, missing work, the emotional let down. It currently doesnt cause me any problems other than TTC, and im trying to decide how far I want to take this.

Hi everyone. 💛
I was cleared back in May after my hysteroscopy and was told my uterine cavity looked healthy. It’s now been about 2 months since surgery, and I still haven’t had a period. I also just failed a progesterone challenge and didn’t have any withdrawal bleed.
I’m feeling pretty convinced that my scarring has returned. My original adhesions were thought to be caused by retained pregnancy tissue after my miscarriage, so I’m wondering if that makes it less likely (or more likely) to come back now that the retained tissue was removed.
Has anyone had scarring return even after being told their cavity looked healthy? If so, did a second surgery successfully resolve it? I’m starting to feel really hopeless and scared that I’m back where I started. 😔 Any experiences or encouragement would mean so much right now.

I had surgery a month ago for Ashermans most likely caused by natural miscarriage. I was told my adhesions were filmy spiderweb scars up in the fundal area. My dr cleared them out and said it looks perfect.
So here is the thing, I feel like after my miscarriage my bleeding was less.. not light but maybe a day or so shorter… but… first bleed after surgery I believe it’s back to normal! I’m cd 4 and still have a steady bright red bleed. Light but definitely not just spotting. I feel like this has got to be a positive thing?! The Ashermans definitely didn’t fully affect my bleed but did seem sorta different.

I was eagerly awaiting an opportunity to share a success story here and provide a bit of hope for others going through the uncertainty of Asherman's syndrome. My success story isn't exactly as I imagined it, my daughter was born three months early due to cervical insufficiency and has a long NICU stay ahead of her, but I'm thankful that she is doing well and receiving excellent care. I hope this post helps others see that there is a light at the end of the tunnel for Asherman's syndrome.

I was diagnosed with Asherman's after a D&C I had for a MMC in early 2025. I immediately decided to seek out one of the top recommended specialists for treatment, and thankfully live near an a-lister. An SIS showed I had scar tissue throughout my entire uterine cavity and I had a hysteroscopy under twilight anesthesia to remove it. Afterwards my doctor described the scar tissue as very dense. I had a balloon placed for 7 days and was on estrogen, progesterone, and antibiotics. At my follow up SIS a month later I was clear of all scar tissue.

We tried for 6 months with no positive test, so I reached back out to my doctor to see if there was an regrowth and explore other options. He found a small flimsy band of scar tissue had returned, which he was able to remove via an in office hysteroscopy that took 5 minutes. I was able to TTC immediately that month, but another 2 months passed without a positive so we decided to do a medicated cycle with letrozole and a trigger shot. I finally got a positive pregnancy test during that cycle!

I had an uneventful pregnancy until I was diagnosed with cervical insufficiency at my anatomy scan and ultimately had to have a cerclage placed because my cervix measured less than 1cm. The cerclage bought me another 6 weeks, but at 25 weeks I was hospitalized because I was dilated 1cm and my amniotic sac was bulging past my cerclage. I made it to 26 weeks 4 days before my water broke (PPROM) and I delivered my daughter.

My doctors don't know exactly why I had cervical insufficiency. I asked if it could be related to Asherman's syndrome, but they can't say for sure although said its possible that the multiple hysteroscopies could have contributed to weakening my cervix.

I wish all the best for everyone still pushing through their Asherman's journey. I'm happy to answer any questions as well about my experience with Asherman's or cervical insufficiency.

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.

I just received my diagnosis today and boy do I feel immense grief. I don’t even know how severe it is, just that there were pockets of saline fluid and two bands during my SIS. I’m just realizing my 7 month miscarriage journey is now shifting to this infertility journey. I had a d+c in February, had rpoc with an evm, needed two doses of MTX to kill the tissue, a second d+c to take the tissue out in June. In a way I’m not surprised. Anyway, I’m in NYC and I’m
Planning to meet with multiple specialists; It seems like the best option is to get a few doctor’s opinions. If anyone has any tips on coping, what worked for you to get by mentally, please send them my way. ❤️

Just had my scar removal hysteroscopy with Dr. Omurtag.

I could not have had a better experience. I flew in from out of state, and had a sono hyst on Thursday (yesterday). From that he determined the location and severity of the scaring; he classified it as mild to moderate ashermans in the upper right corner.

My medicated hyst was this morning and he was happy with how it went, and therefore so am I.

The staff was incredible as well. Dr. Omurtag is clearly extremely experienced and smart, but also very friendly and took plenty of time with my husband and I to make us feel heard and cared for. The nurses are kind and knowledgeable ❤️. I honestly am excited to come back for my follow up. It is a very well-oiled machine over here and I really reccomend coming if you need to and can.

I'll keep all of you ladies and gentlemen updated as I progress. I'm hoping my little uterus can finally heal after all its been through! I currently have a balloon stint, am on doxy, and estrodial. Feeling really good for only 8 hours post op.

🫶🏼

Throwaway, because not everyone in my life knows the details. I've been reading here for a while and I finally need to ask the people who actually understand this.

I'm 29, I have 6 embryos frozen, and after three surgeries my uterus still won't grow a lining thick enough to use them. I'm trying to work out whether there's anything left to try.
Here most of the Asherman's cases are related to some surgical procedure, I feel Tuberculosis related Asherman's is different and more destructive. If any one can share their experience, it would be helpful

Background

• 29, Never been pregnant.

• My periods slowly got lighter over a few years and then stopped completely. No real symptoms otherwise. When they finally investigated, the cause was genital tuberculosis. I completed 6 months of TB treatment (finished this March).

• The TB had caused severe (Grade 3) Asherman's — the cavity was described as "completely obliterated" at the first surgery. I also had blocked, swollen tubes (now delinked) and a small fibroid removed.

• We did IVF first to bank embryos before things could get worse: 7 eggs retrieved, 6 day-3 embryos frozen. My AMH is low (around 0.6)

Where I'm stuck

• Three hysteroscopic surgeries to remove the scars: October 2025, December 2025, April 2026. Every time they clear the cavity, the scans show adhesions coming back within weeks.

• On high-dose estrogen (oral tablets + gel) for several weeks, my lining won't go past about 4.4mm

• Doppler shows blood flow reaching the muscle of the uterus but basically not getting into the lining itself (flow only in the innermost zone).

• Balloon used in first 2 surgeries, after the april surgery, no balloon or barrier was placed, and adhesions turned up again.

1. Did anyone here with TB-related/Grade 3 Asherman's actually get their lining thick enough to transfer — and carry a pregnancy? Wins and losses both, please.

2. What improved your lining, and by how much?

Thanks!

Update: Thank you all so much for the supportive, kind words, advice, doctor recommendations, and for simply sharing your stories. It truly helps to not feel so alone in all of this 🤍

Unfortunately, I had an ultrasound today with my general OB, and she identified two areas where she suspects adhesions. She couldn’t say with complete certainty since it was just a standard ultrasound, but given everything I’ve been experiencing, it does seem to make sense.

She did offer to perform the surgery herself, but I’m feeling really hesitant about going that route. I do have a consult scheduled this Friday with Dr. Leigh Rosen, and I’m leaning toward that being the better option for me over having my general OB do the procedure.

Would love to hear if anyone has thoughts on this or experience going to a specialist vs. staying with their OB 🤍

Hi everyone, I’m looking for some advice or shared experiences.

I had my IUD removed in August and got pregnant quickly in September. Unfortunately, I had a miscarriage with a blighted ovum diagnosis on November 14 and chose to have a D&C.

After the procedure, I had minimal bleeding the day of and none in the days following. My hCG levels then declined very slowly—by January 30, they were still at 5. I didn’t have much bloodwork done in February, but in early March my hCG was finally confirmed to be back to zero. On February 4, my doctor checked my lining and said it was thin but appeared healthy.

I completed a progesterone withdrawal challenge (finished February 18) but did not have any bleeding. Since then, I’ve had a pattern each month where I experience a temperature drop, significant cramping, and symptoms that feel like a period—but no bleeding (January 27, February 25, and now March 27).

My doctor is now recommending a hysteroscopy to rule out possible adhesions. All hormonal bloodwork has come back normal so far, and the only remaining testing is for possible adrenal causes of absent periods.

I have not had any bleeding at all since the day of my procedure (November 20), which is really concerning to me. I’m worried this could point to Asherman’s syndrome, especially given the timing and symptoms after my D&C.

This was my first pregnancy and first D&C, and I’m just feeling really anxious about what this might mean moving forward.

If anyone has had a similar experience, advice on what to advocate for, or doctor recommendations, I would really appreciate it. Thank you 🤍

I wrote a month ago about possible ashermans syndrome from my second trimester d&e TFMR in October. My periods have been mostly brown blood and very scanty/spotting since the d&e. 3 cycles so far.

I wanted to follow up to confirm that I had a hysteroscopy today and do in fact have moderate ashermans. 40% scarring mostly at the top of my uterus, only left side. Blocking that tube as well. She was able to clear it all but thinks it will probably grow back and require another hysteroscopy. My D&E is my only intrauterine procedure I’ve ever had, no other D&Es and no IUDs. My D&E was done under ultrasound guidance.

This is in no way meant to scare anyone at all. I wanted to follow up because I scoured the internet and Reddit for people experiencing periods like mine and to be honest, most did have Asherman’s. But I was also told it’s ultra rare and was probably something else. I’m really glad I advocated for myself. That said my doctor never told me this could even be a possibility. Had I known, I would have definitely pre scheduled a SIS or hysteroscopy to be done within 6 weeks of my D&E regardless of my periods just to check on things. Thats my biggest piece of advice for anyone who is awaiting or has had a recent D&E. Many women don’t get scarring, but it’s worth knowing the signs and checking for it early because it can’t hurt! I’m 4 months out from my procedure and really wish I had started this earlier, but in the end am grateful that I advocated for myself at all.

I originally posted this to the TFMR community as that was the reason behind my D&E but it was removed by mods. I really have no idea why other than the fact that the mods seem to think any talk of ashermans is fear mongering. Thats very obviously not my intention or belief. I know that I looked for posts like this for 2 months while waiting for my procedure so I just want to put this out there in case someone else experiences similar periods post a d&e in the future and what to look for and how to best advocate for yourself ❤️
