Once the woman is healed.

Hi Star --
Only when I had my own D&Cs did I learn that it's not just for missed miscarriages. When I was little my mom's doctor had her do one because she was having trouble conceiving again. The idea was to get rid of any tissue that might have been impeding progress (including any possible, undiagnosed early miscarriages). This was more than thirty years ago and so it's not a new practice by any means.

Umm... all I have ever heard on the subject is that things are supposed to just return to normal unless there are complications which means that you could be infertile or have a harder time getting pregnant, but not an easier time. I'm not a doctor though. I do know however that with my son it took 6 months to get pregnant and with the pregnancy I am going through now it took about 6 months after I had a D&C for miscarriage so it didn't affect me at all I don't think.

a D&C is scraping out the old tissue in the crevex and leaving a clean layer so your body can heal and go on with the natural process of things ...get the woman back on schedule..period wise

D&C is necessary only if you have some of the placenta left inside or if you had an incomplete abortion to scrape out whatever was left inside. This operation causes scarring in your uterus therefore it is best to have it only if it is absolutely necessary because it can affect your future pregnancies like it did with mine. Have you seen the instruments they use in this procedure? You will then see what I am saying.

It may be because I'm a guy, but I have no idea what a "D&C" is (unless of course you are refering to Drill and Ceremonies, in which case the answer is no). You may want to explain that for other stupid users like me.
