may i ask why you need a d and c to help you get pregnant? I never heard a d and c help someone to get them pregnant.
for u guys that doesnt know what a d and c this is what it is:
Definition:
D and C is a procedure to scrape and collect the tissue (endometrium) from inside the uterus. Dilatation ("D") is a widening of the cervix to allow instruments into the uterus. Curettage ("C") is the scraping of the contents of the uterus.
Alternative Names:
Dilatation and curettage; Uterus scraping
Description:
D and C, also called uterine scraping, is a fairly minor surgical procedure. The procedure may be performed in the hospital or in a clinic using general or local anesthesia.
The vaginal canal is held open by a speculum, and the opening to the uterus ( cervix ) may be anesthetized. The cervical canal is widened using a metal rod, and a curette (a metal loop on the end of a long, thin handle) is passed through the canal into the uterine cavity. The inner layer of the uterus (endometrium) is scraped away, and the tissue is collected for examination.

unless you have a sever case of endometriosus, I don't think a doctor would even consider doing one...especially if you are doing it when ttc...
thanks for new info, yes in your case a d and c may help you get pregnant, once the uterine walls have been cleaned, the egg has a better chance of attaching. best of luck to you!!

the only time i have ever heard of needing a d&c is to finish a miscarriage, to perform an aportion or if there are some abnormal or cancerous cells in the uterus that need to be taken off and or biopsied. none of that has to do with getting pregnant.
