Will D & C Helps To Control Heavy Flow During Periods?

Hi, ....we are trying to conceive, two cycle ago I missed miscarried & had a D & C. We waited one cycle before trying again. This would be the start of my second cycle since the D & C. However it has arrived a few days early and was very light the first day, was a light flow the second day (my normal periods are very heavy first two days and last only 5 days), disappeared the third day, half way through the forth day found some spotting and is now completely gone. Wondering if the D & C has helped with my heavy period or could I be pregnant?

Hello and welcome,

I understand the issue. However if you have used contraception in the last month then pregnancy will not be a likely possibility. If contraception has not been used then the spotting and light flow may be an implantation bleeding or it may be due to the D and C and the endometrium may not have regenerated well in the first cycle after it.
So please get a pregnancy test to be on the safer side 7 days after the first day of this period to rule out pregnancy. If it is negative then there is no need to worry.

Hope this satisfies your query.
Thanks for using HCM.
