Ashermans Syndrome

[Bexnet]

Hi, I had a miscarriage in Jan 11 and had a D&C , since then i've had no period. I was having all the symptoms of a period and then no bleeding so i went to my GP who told me this was normal after a miscarriage. 6 months later still no period and lots of pain but no bleed so i went back and insisted that tests were done, i knew that something wasn't right. I had an internal /external scan and blood tests and all seemed healthy, they then sent me for a hysteroscropy and found that my womb is completely stuck together. They were going to do another d&c and then insert a coil but thankfully they didn't proceed as they couldn't get access (i've read since that this can make things worse). My consultant tells me that this is very rare and isn't skilled to treat me so she's looking for a specialist in the UK. Does anyone have any advice or recommendations for specialist in this area?

I had my gp do my hormones, FSH, LH, progesterone and oestrogen. It will give a picture where you are in your cycle - follicular phase or luteal. Then you can tell if you should be having a period soon. -Our stories are very similar - even down to the fact we are both seeing out consultants on the 27th! - I am sorry to hear about your loss at 20 weeks :( horrible xx

Hi ladies,

I haven't logged in for a while so I've only just read your posts.

Pens op-Firstly I'm so sorry to hear that you've had to suffer two miscarriages,life really is cruel sometimes!! I kept going back to my GP and I was constantly told to wait and be patient for my period but it never came.I had to push for a scan and blood tests and both came back normal.It was only when they did a hysteroscopy (after i insisted that something wasnt right) that they could see the scarring.What I'm trying to say is don't be fobbed off by your doctor, you know your own body and if you feel that something isn't right then ask to be referred to a specialist.

Battery hen-again sorry for your losses,my heart goes out to you.I just wanted to say good luck on the 27th,hopefully they'll be able to give you some answers.

Hello :0

I am pleased to say that AF has been and gone. When I posted last time - I had acupuncure that night and AF started the next day, so I can breathe out a bit for now.

Bex How did you get on - have you had your op yet?*

Pebs - Any news yet - has AF turned up?

I know this is an old post but wondered how things turned out for you all?
