i just turned 20 today so it has nothing to do with me being to old or unfit...but the doctor told me that he wasnt sure if i should do the d & c because the scar could make it more difficult for me to have a child later on...this is my 2nd miscarriage in 2 yrs....i havnt smoked or drank or anything....but they said that i may have miscarried because i didnt get the d and c the first time....so i need to do it i have a gyno app tomorrow to make sure everything is ok i have had every test probably possible...
i just wanted to thank everyone for all of their answeres and stories it makes me feel a little better knowing i should be okay

ohh my god! This subject really touched me! I am so sorry, I had to respond. Doctors say that not having a d & c will not effect you having children later on, and I have been praying that it is true. You see I had a miscarriage almost exactly a year ago. They did not do a D & C on me either, I was so scared from different things I had heard so I went to my regular gynochologist. I had them do a check up and pap and the whole nine yards. She told me everything looked fine. It is almost a year later and I am really nervous because I am afraid that I wont be able to have kids. I have not been able to go back to the doctors since then, but I personally myself am gone to set up a appointment with a good female doctor and get checked out. I really think you should go see your female doctor just to make sure everything is ok. make them do all the possible chek ups and tests to make sure you are ok and to make sure you can have kids. I really wish you all the luck, I truly understand what boat you are in. It is a very emotional and devastating subject. I hope to hear how everything works out for you. And I wish you all the luck!
From one females heart to another!
Best luck, Dez

I had a D & C in June and I am currently pregnant now, but I'm bleeding like I am on a light period! I'm not cramping right now, but I'm waiting to get my results from the doctor tomorrow! I didn't bleed much after my d and c and it really didn't hurt! I was told that you can have children and your later pregnancies will be fine, but I'm kind of skeptical about this pregnancy! Just know that you'll be on pins and needles whenever you get pregnant again! Make sure you let your future doctors know that you've have a d and c so that they can keep a close eye on you. Most doctors say wait one to three cycles before conceiving again so that your body will have time to heal, but it shouldn't be much of a problem to get pregnant again! I was put under anesthesia when I had my procedure done and it's an outpatient surgery and they will do a follow up to make sure everything was cleaned out!! It's a suction process that removes anything left from the fetus! You won't feel it, but you may have some cramping or bleeding for about a week or less!! Don't worry, everything's gonna be fine!!

I have not had a miscarriage but my sister has and I was there, so I thought that I could give you a little insight on it.She had a D and C as well. The recovery time was not that long, in fact she was doing well the next day, although she went home the day of the procedure. She has gone on to have TWO beautiful little girls that are very healthy.It didn't take her long to get pregnant again either after her miscarriage.Oh and also, to the best of my memory I don't think that the procedure was that painful, although I'm sure their is some discomfort.The hardest part for her was the fact that she lost her baby.Good luck and best wishes.

I have never had one, but my sister has had 2. Everyone recovers at different speeds. As far as physically, it took her about aweek and ahalf almost 2. They do give u pain killers because she said that it hurt like hell. Soon after she got pregnant again and had anther miscarriage. It hadn't even been over a year since the first one. the doc said that she didn't give her body enough time to heal. Also, she was 33 at the time. So if she gets pregnant again, she will have to probably stay on bedrest the whole pregnacy,and they will have to keep a close eye on her and the baby. I would try to wait a while, before trying again. You have to make sure that u give your body and mind time to heal

i had a miscarriage also, so i know what you are going through i had two. first off the doctor was suppose to give you a d and c to make sure that the fetus is completely out, you should get a second opinion. getting pregnant again is possible, because i had another baby and she is now 3 years old. when you do get the d and c they are going to put you to sleep so you will not feel a thing, just maybe some discomfort after wards and they will provide you with medications afterward. do not be scared have a quiet prayer to god and leave the situation to him.

I had a miscarriage back when I was 24. The baby's heart didn't develop right and I never heard her first heart beat. That was the day before thanksgiving. I had to carry that child until febuary. When they preformed the d&c, the procedure it's self isn't so bad. If they tell you to take it easy the next few days...please do it. I didn't listen, and the next day, I was passing big clots...that really hurt. After that I was fine. I am terribly sorry for your loss. But on the other hand, pregnancy after d&c's..... no problem. They will tell you to wait at least for 6 months afterwards though. To give you time to heal. I hope things go well for you.

I am very sorry for your family's loss because it is a family thing though you are carrying the brunt of it. My family suffered a miscarriage last summer. I was off work for about 5 days after my D&C to physically recover.
I became pregnant again this January. At about 6 weeks I began to bleed a bit...just brown blood, not bright red...after vag ultrasound, Doc said it was a hemmorhage in my uterine lining, and my placenta is at the front, top of uterus. Bedrest for 3 days. Bleeding stopped. Now I am starting my 39th week with that baby...and a c section scheduled for Oct 5th.
Bless you and your family, you will have a healthy baby when God sees that it is right.

for starters, I am really sorry for your loss. I have had two miscarriages one at 14 weeks and the other at 20 weeks, I was diagnosed with incompetent cervix this year. I have two D&Cs total. basically, this procedure will removed a stuff left over from the pregnancy and help with the healing process and bleeding. You will start to feel better in two to three days, and the bleeding should stop within a week. It is an in and out procedure and you will not have any problems getting pregnant in the future. I hope this helps and good luck!!

A D&C will not decrease your chances of getting pregnant and having a healthy pregnancy. Just make sure that the next time you try, part of your preparation is telling your doctor about your previous miscarriages-he/she may "label" you a high-risk pregnancy, but that's not necessarily a bad thing. The more care/medical attention you receive may better your chances of a full-term pregnancy.

First of all i would like to say that i am really sorry for your loss. Losing a wanted child is alway hard to go through. I have miscarried before and had a DNC and its just a fancy way of saying u need to be cleaned out from any of the (hate to be so blunt) left over fetus (sorry). Only because it will decay in your body and it is toxic and can be fatal to you. It doent really hurt its somwhat like having a pelvic exam but they take gauze and cotton to clean you out. It won't keep u from having a normal pregancy in the future either. Once again sorry and good luck
