>-- Dr. Shanahan, thank you for your reply. I'm still concerned about this "dark lining" that was observed in the ultrasound, but I guess (hope) Asherman's Syndrome has already been ruled out by the HSG that showed no scarring. Also, my husband just told me that when the doc did this last D&C, she told him she didn't see any scar tissue or abnormalities in my uterus. So, what's up with this dark lining that showed in the ultrasound? Argh! Do you have any ideas?
