If you have undergone the D & C
procedure recently, then it would be important for you
to know when it is safe to get pregnant after D
& C. D & C
basically means dilation and curettage. In this
procedure the uterus’s entrance is enlarged in woman and
then the lining of the uterus is scraped or suctioned
away with the help of a sharp and thin instrument so
that the tissue can be taken out. It is done so that the
tissue remaining in the uterus is removed after a woman
has faced a miscarriage. It is considered to be a
minor surgery by doctors.
Besides this, D & C is also performed in a woman
for a large number of reasons. D & C is done so that
it can be used to detect why irregular bleeding takes
place in a woman. It is also used to find out why
excessive bleeding takes place in a woman. Sometimes it
is used in the treatment of fibroids and polyps. D &
C is considered to be of great use in detecting uterine
cancer in women. Finally it is also useful when some
amount of fetal or placental tissue
remains in the uterus after a delivery or an incomplete
miscarriage takes place in a woman.
How soon after a D & C can you get
pregnant?
If D & C was done on you
because of a miscarriage then you would need to take a
break of some months so that your body starts ovulating
normally before you think of getting pregnant. You can
also use this time to boost yourself mentally so that
you are able to remove all the fears associated with
your previous miscarriage out of your mind. This period
of time will also help you to regain more physical
strength which would be required for your pregnancy the
next time you plan to have it. Ideally you can wait for
a minimum of three menstrual cycles to occur in your
body, so that it is considered safe for you to get
pregnant after D & C .
Use the holistic approach to heal
yourself totally so that you are able to recover from
your loss after a miscarriage. Holistic approach makes
you strong enough to face all possible challenges of
life. This is possible as it helps you to find the right
balance in your physical, mental and emotional health.
Once the systems in your body have recovered and got
energized, it is safe for you to get pregnant
after a D & C
.
