D&C

[newbie18]

I have been unable to become pregnant and was advised to do a number of tests. My blood work for TSH and Prolactin was good, my HSG was good. However my doctor suggests that I have a D&C done. Hawever i have noticed that this procedure is normally undertaken after miscarriages or abortions....Is this necessary in my case. Please note I have started having painful periods for over a year or so and my sex drive is extremely low. Can a D&C offer any help?

Hi, i,ve had a D &C and honestly its not anything to worry about....it is like the other girl says just to clean you out....i had one done earlier this year tio check me inside for my endo...doc also found remnants of a failed pregnancy,which i had no idea about...(had 3 failed ivf attempts in last year)....but honestly dont panic its nothing...hope this puts your mind to rest...

Thanks for the support cause I am secretly scared of having it done. My dr didnt mention Laparascopy but i really hope that the D&C will do the trick.Hopefully it will help with my period pains since i have severe cramps during that time but my period is always on time like clock works.

I think it's worth it to have a D&C, you never know. Did your doctor say anything about a Laparascopy as well?  It is great news that your HSG was good, that is a positive sign!

D&Cs are good for "cleaning" yourself out.  I know a woman who had one because of her periods.  I suppose this might help.  I'm sure your doctor wouldn't suggest it if it were harmful or not necessary.
