Hello! First of all, I have to agree with , you should look into all possible causes of miscarriage in addition

to considering Asherman's. I too have a friend (who just gave birth last week) who had multiple miscarriages and

then finally found an RE who prescribed progesterine suppositories and she now is the mother of an adorable

baby boy.

I also have a friend with Kawasaki Syndrome (which is also known as hypothyroidism) and she had 3 miscarriages

before finally being diagnosed with hypothyroidism. She was treated and now has a little girl. So, you should look

at all possibilities including your lining measurment.

- As for your racing heart....guess what? I have the same thing. It developed post-partum for me (I first noticed

it a couple of days after returning from the hospital.) In my case I have been diagnosed with idiopathic (from no known medical source) monomorphic (consistent in it's rhythm) ventricular (originating from the lower chambers of the heart) tachycardia

(racing heart beat called VTACH for short.) I went through an EPS study (electrophysiology study) where they " snake " a catheter up into the heart chambers to test the arrhythmia last December which is when it was diagnosed. This apparently occurs in a

small subgroup of women after labor, there is even some speculation that women who develop this have an abnormal

reaction to pitossin or to the drugs used in an epidural. The interesting thing is that my sister is now pregnant with

her first child and has developed it as well so it could just be genetic.

Mine is not considered life-threatening because it is monomorphic. When I go into my arrhythmia my heart will suddently

jump up to 200+ beats a minute for no reason, but it will stay at a " steady " 200+ beats for a bit and then spontaneously drop back to normal on it's own after I lie down, do a Valsalva Maneuver which is a deep " bear down " kind of cough that compresses the heart wall, or put something cold on my chest. With some people the heart will not go back to a normal rhythm without an electric shock and they must go to the emergency room or take the risk of passing out and eventually dying because when the heart beats that fast for that long it is deprived of oxygen. It does definitely occur more often for me when my heart rate is already raised,

(I tried to do Tae Bo Kickboxing and went into V-Tach almost immediately!) But it also occurs for no reason at all, even when

I'm sleeping! Even happened this morning while sitting here at my desk.

I share all of this with you to suggest that although you should certainly continue to look at the thyroid possibility as it is common that arrythmias are linked to thyroid problems, mine was not and it could be a result of something else. Suggest to your doctor that you wear a " holter " monitor for a couple of days. This is a monitor that constantly records your heart rhythms and keeps them in a digital format so the doctor can " see " what your heart rhythm is. Take care of yourself.
