I am not a doctor, but mine said that D&c\'s are perfectly safe. She said it is a very controlled way to finish the pregnancy. I just had my second one. I opted for the surgery both times because I didn\'t want to have to wait for the tissue to be expelled. I have heard it can be very painful. There is no easy way around any of this. You just have to make the best decision for you and your family and trust that your doctor knows that you want to have another child, so they wouldn\'t do any to keep that from happening. I am sending lots of special thoughts your way. Best to you.

I had a D&C on Nov 30th.

Now still bleeding.. is this normal?

Doc says that usually will stop after 2 weeks..

i don\'t think you should be bleeding still but i don\'t know your history. have you called your doctor about it? if not you probly should. then again i have never had a d&c before.

I had a D&E on 11/16....I bled for 3 weeks and then it stopped for a little over a week...now it is back but very heavy...I\'m assuming it is a period. That could be going on with you too.

I bled for almost three weeks with my last D&C. My doctor monitored my hormone levels and said that if things didn\'t stop in one more week that I may need to have an ultrasound to see if some tissue was left behind. Everything stopped within a couple of days. My bleeding seemed to be worse when I was really active. You may want to call your doctor just to check.

Yeah, mine is like 1 month already..

I will be going for an Ultrasound scan tomorrow.

The worst thing is that it will bleed less, than out of a sudden, it will increase..

really worried now..

and appt with doc is like 8 Dec..

Will it affect my fertility in the future?

A D&C won\'t affect your fertility in the future and , according to my Doctor, safe. She even said that a miscarriage is bad but at least it shows that you are able to conceive and are fertile for future pregnancies.

my heart goes out to you. i also have had 2. and no children YET! my dr. said it\'s the safest way to miscarry. it lessens the chance of infection and not expelling all of the tissues. he also tells me it increases fertility. don\'t worry. much love to you.

I had a D&C Sept. 12 2006 and I bleed for about 2 21/2 weeks then I stopped dor a couple of weeks. I started back up with my period. My doctor told me that your periods will be abnormal for the first few months. I know where you are coming from when you wonder what the doctor will tell you I did the same thing. My sympathy is with you and your family.

Hi, I have recently had my third dnc last week and my doctor says it's safe and better to be (cleaned out) before trying again. I had two in a row then I had my daughter and now another miscarry. I also want another child, the doctor is going to send me to a specialist to see if they can find out the cause of the miscarriages. I wish you luck!!

When I had my first miscarriage I had a D&C. My second miscarriage the doctor advised me not to have another one if it wasn't life threatening, she stated that a D&C may cause scarring on my tissue which may result in my body not being able to implant. I guess it's all according to your body and comfortable you are with what your doctors tell you. But good luck I know what it's like I've had 6 miscarriages.
