Hi Everyone
I need some advice - we're ttc baby 2 . I hope I've posted this in the right place.
I've had 2 d&c's . The first one about 7 years ago for a missed MC, then had a healthy baby boy.
We had a happy accident and concieved baby no2 , which was also a MC and I had another d&c. Since the second d&c my periods have changed .
I was wondering if anyone else has experienced this?
My periods are shorter and lighter. I was worried about Ashermans syndrome and went to see my gp , she basically fobbed me off saying its just hormones when I went to see her in August . Now 10 months on - it cant still be hormones!
She told me Asherman's syndrome is very rare , but Im really scared I might have it . My periods have done from 5-7 days to 1 very light flow , 2 days moderate , and 1 day spotting so 4 days in total.
I had an early miscarriage that started on 13th December at 5weeks , and the bleeding that followed that was more like how my period used to be and lasted 6 days . This has made me feel even more worried as miscarriages are another symptom of Ashermans syndrome
Im wondering if anyone else has had experience of their periods being lighter and shorter but still gone on to have a baby?
I was also told that periods just sometimes change after a d&c , but how can they 'just' change? There has to be something that causes the change??
I dont want to scare or worry anyone who's gone through a d&c , I'm just looking for reassurance.

"What is Asherman's Syndrome?
Asherman's Syndrome, or intrauterine adhesions/scarring or synechiae, is an acquired uterine condition, characterized by the formation of adhesions (scar tissue) inside the uterus. In many cases the front and back walls of the uterus stick to one another. In other cases, adhesions only occur in a small portion of the uterus. The extent of the adhesions defines whether the case is mild, moderate, or severe. The adhesions can be thin or thick, spotty in location, or confluent. They are usually not vascular, which is an important attribute that helps in treatment. Click here for more on Asherman's Syndrome grades.
Symptoms
Most patients with Asherman's Syndrome have scanty or absent periods (amenorrhea) but some have normal periods. Some patients have no periods but feel pain at the time that their period would normally arrive each month. This pain may indicate that menstruation is occurring but the blood cannot exit the uterus because the cervix is blocked by adhesions. Recurrent miscarriage and infertility could also be symptoms (1).

So any hormonal change in a body can cause a different cycle to emerge. I would try not to worry but if you are find a dr to check it out
