The Hysteroscopy was done may 30th 2014 and the irregular period started after the hysteroscopy, my period before then is usually 5days and at XXXXXXX 6 day which is usually spotting. I did a scan in july but was noticed that there is a swelling in the womb this was done when i started the ivf procedure but could not continue due to the bleeding. not sire if a D and C was done along with it but i doubt if it is done.

Brief Answer:
Dont worry..

Detailed Answer:
Hi, thanks for writing..

Swelling of the womb can be a fibroid.. What is the size of fibroid? Size greater than 5 cm requires surgical removal of the myoma..

If hysteroscopy was normal,then take 3 cycles of OCP's to regularise the periods. If bleeding still persisting get a repeat hysteroscopy and D and C prior to next IVF.

Hope I have answered your query. Feel free to ask any doubts.. Good day..
