thin womb lining/possible adhesions- advice please

Hi all, was hoping from some advice from you lovely ladies.

I had 2 ERPCs following a mc at the start of the year and have been ttc since. Have had 2 scans over 2 cycles- one at 14 days, and one at 19 days (I have a 25-27 day cycle). Both showed a thin endometrial lining of 5mm. I was told 8mm was what I should be aiming for at the very least. The woman doing the scan today was very abrupt and said I would never get pregnant with a lining that thin, so you can imagine I am stressing out! Of course, I dont actually have an appointment to see anyone about the results and see what if anything can be done. The woman doing the scan wasnt that helpful- said it might just be thin, or it might be adhesions from the ERPC which could be treated, but didnt explain how. If its not adhesions, is general thinness untreatable?

Does anyone have any experience? I would be really grateful for your comments. I have built myself up into a complete state that I will be forever barren.

Many thanks

I don't think you will be barren. The lining may be thin due to ovulatory problems (I had thin lining due to irregular periods). Such things can be treated.

When are you due to see the gynae again?. I would have assumed that you will be seen by such a person soon.

Drug treatment on its own will not touch adhesions once they are formed. Usually adhesions are removed through laparoscopic (keyhole type) surgery.

I would talk at some length to the gynae team about the treatment you received at the hands of this unhelpful person today. This issue should be addressed. Small wonder you've been scared witless.
