Hello

My name is Bernadette I am 37 year old Australian.

My husband and I have been trying to conceive for 3 years next month. Both

of us have undergone fertility testing and no abnormalities where found in

either of us.

We fell pregnant in September 2002 and where extremely excited -

unfortunately this was short lived. At 11 weeks I commenced spotting which

continued for 3 days and then recommenced we had another scan done and our

baby had grown and had a strong heartbeat and we were told not to worry. At

12 weeks to the day I experienced cramping and went in for another scan

which showed that the heartbeat was negligible and that I was in the process

of miscarrying.

My Obgyn performed a D&C. I had no abnormal bleeding and waited for my

period to return. The first month I had mild cramping but no showing and

was told that maybe not enough lining had returned. The second month I had

slight spotting but quite a bit of cramping but no normal period. An

internal ultra sound was performed which showed a 9.8 mm uterus lining and

was told that my period should come any day - it did not. The third month I

had severe cramping for 4 days with consistent light brown discharge.

I am scheduled for a hysteroscopy on 7th April but my Obygn is certain that

I have Asherman's Syndrome. I am also on a high dose contraceptive pill.

This is incredibly hard to cope with and understand and I feel totally lost

and isolated. My husband and I are devastated.

I would appreciate any support or information that you have. I understand

that until a final diagnosis that this is a little difficult.

Thanking you in anticipation.

Kind Regards

Kind regards
