Re: Newbie looking for those with synachia

[Guest guest]

Hi,

9mm is not a bad lining to have. I got pg on 6mm. Everyones post AS surgery is different. My scarring did not reform, and I was able to conceive 7 weeks later. This is not always the case. If they still see you only have some cob webs, it should not be too difficult for a skilled surgeon in the Asherman's field. Who are you seeing? That can make a big difference. My lining did go back to normal after the surgery. Before surgery it was 1 mm. By the time I was two weeks post conception, it was 9 mm. Synachia was aterm my OB used that gave me Asherman's. My RE that I used for surgery never mentioned it. Good luck in January,

Hi all,I am a new member. I don't have Asherman's but I hope I can get somehelp from y'all. I have been ttcing for the past 3 years with no luck.I have done 4 IVFs. As part of the basic IF work up, I did the LAP,hysteroscopy, HSG, blood test but doctor did not find anything exceptblocked tubes. On the HSG, I recall him saying cavity looked like acobweb, but he said nothing about what he found on the hysteroscopythat looked cobwebby or what he did with it. In attempting to find a reason for the lack of implantation, I did asaline hystogram last week and lo behold, the cobweb appearance wasthere. I was told I had thin septations in the fundus of the uterusand thicker septations in the body of the uterus suggestive of synechia.Come to think of it, I have always had thin lining (9mm on the day oftrigger) which could now be explained as due to the above. I have asurgery on Jan 16 to remove this.If anyone has experience with this, I would love to hear from you. Did the scar tissue reform after the surgery?Were you able to get pregnant soon after?Did your lining improve after the surgery?Any and all info. is welcome!Thanks

Synechiae is a latin word meaning scars or adhesions. Asherman's is

the name of a syndrome with scarring (aka synechiae or adhesions)

specifically in the uterus. Sometimes I've seen Asherman's name in

connection with other scarring in the abdomen, for example after

abdominal surgery. He must have been a surgeon who discovered or

did a lot of work treating scarring. If you doctor believes you to

have synechiae in the uterus, then by definition you have Asherman's.

Members of this group would advise you to select the doctor who

surgically treats the synechiae very very carefully. Depending on

the severity and location of the adhesions, it might be advisable to

use a ballon in the uterus (e.g., a pediatric foley catheter) for 1-

2 weeks after the surgery (while taking antibiotics to prevent an

infection) along with estrogen to help rebuild the lining. Too

vigorous surgery can destroy remaining good lining. Most ObGyn

doctors (and even RE specialists) lack experience with this kind of

surgery. Make sure to ask how much experience your doctor has with

this and what treatment he is considering after the surgery. All of

that being said, there is a fair amount of variation in the severity

of Ashermans and very mild scarring may be less of a challenge to

treat.

When I was first diagnosed back in 1984 my doctor said that I had

intrauterine synechia more commonly known as Ashermans Syndrome,

scarring of the uterine lining. I believe it was a doctor by the

name of Asherman who first either documented or did reearch on

intrauterine synechia. Thanks.
