In 2020, during my second pregnancy, I had what is called a blighted ovum (or anembryonic pregnancy). Medication was not enough to remove it and I had to have an aspiration. For the next few months I didn't have my periods. I told myself that this was normal, that it took time to come back after an aspiration. But after a few months I went to the gynaecologist anyway. He did a hysterosalpingography, which did not give any result, and a diagnostic hysteroscopy. This is how it was discovered that I had severe intrauterine adhesions. This gynaecologist expressed his concern for my obstetrical future, and told me that I would probably not be able to have any more children. He suggested that I undergo surgery to remove the intrauterine adhesions and use a hyaluronic acid gel after the operation to prevent them from forming again. He warned me, however, that every other time the gel didn't work and the intrauterine adhesions reformed anyway. I was desperate. 

​

I started looking for other solutions. I wanted to be able to tell myself "I had tried everything". I found an article about a new medical device to prevent these intrauterine adhesions from forming. I saw that the company was based in Montpellier and, as I have family there, I thought I could easily go there if a clinical protocol allowing me to benefit from the device took place in a hospital in that region. I really wanted to benefit from this innovation. Then I made an appointment with Dr. Sroussi at the Lariboisière Hospital in Paris. He is an expert in the treatment of synechiae, and I needed a second opinion and to tell him about the Womed Leaf device. 

​

Dr Sroussi confirmed the diagnosis of severe synechiae and operated me on January 20th. He inserted the Womed Leaf at the end of the surgery. Before the operation, I had very light periods; only a few drops of blood and pain at the time of menstruation. After 1 month my periods came back. Since the operation I have had 2 cycles of 28 days, the periods have returned as before. 

At the 4 week check-up hysteroscopy, Dr. Sroussi told me that my cavity was perfect and that I could have a spontaneous pregnancy. I was so happy and moved.

​

The following month, I was delighted to discover that I was pregnant! The pregnancy went well and on December 7th I gave birth, without any complications, to a healthy baby girl,  Albane. I am very grateful to Dr. Sroussi for the opportunity to have this innovative device.
