‘By most people’s standards, it’s probably not that important. By my standards, anything medical is a big deal. And anything that risks bleeding makes me sick as a dog.’
“Seemingly on the scale of mild to severe, it looks moderate to severe, so you might have to go back in 6 months to repeat the procedure to remove any additional adhesions.”
She continued: “I’m not going to lie, the thoughts that went through my head as I was lying on the table receiving general anesthesia before being led through the doors into the operating room were not funny.”
Post-op: Louise, who suffered from PTSD after the traumatic birth, shared a snapshot wearing a hospital gown and post-procedure where she enjoyed a cookout.
‘I was really worried about not waking up. Or that I’d wake up with tubes stuck in my throat… Or blind… or brain damaged. The list goes on’.
‘My body sometimes does strange things when I’m in a hospital environment. I get really really cold and I get stiff and I can’t stop shaking, like I’m having a seizure or something.’
Writing: My body feels full of adrenaline, like I’m going into battle. In fact, I quite like this feeling, it’s better than disassociating.’
“I guess the problem is that my rational brain shuts down when I feel like I’m in danger.”

Thankfully the team were amazing with wonderful bedside treatment making all the difference.

When severe, the anterior and posterior walls of the uterus may fuse together, leaving no room for a lining.
It is likely that I got it as a result of surgical scraping or cleaning of tissue from the uterine wall in previous operations.
A delay in diagnosis can mean that treatment is more difficult as the adhesions and scar tissue that are typical of Asherman’s syndrome become thicker and more extensive over time.
