ya know- i'd probably have to research this...but I know lots of women

(including myself) who have had miscarriages and never had a DNC. I'm

wondering if

this isn't just one more myth (miscarriage = DNC) that has been perpetuated

upon women. Sorta like the myth ovarian cyst = laproscopy. I turned that one

down too...thank the good lord.

I've had two miscarriages that I'm aware of... (suspected others, but can't

know) and I've never had a DNC. Actually, my doc at the time of the first one

(1988) told me " dont' you dare have that done! It's unnecessary most often. "

He just monitored me for a while to make sure my body took care of the situation

itself and it did. The most recent miscarriage in 2001, nobody even suggested a

DNC.

For what it's worth.

for what's it's worth, I had tissue retention from a

miscarriage between my second and third child and a D

& C was totally necessary. I think that you have to go

case by case.

Definitely, everyone has different needs and there will be times a DNC is

necessary - that's why my doc watched me... but I also think these are done

unnecessarily at times too.
