D&C for fertility?
Hi all.... We have been trying to get pregnant for 2 years now and still no luck!!!!!!!!!!!!! have been for my hystro (think thats what its called - where your womb is xrayed using a dye) it showed that one of my tubes was blocked but had been freed by the dye. I have a regular period but always have a week of old black blood before actual period so it is lasting for amost 2 weeks! I am due to go in for a D&C in a few weeks time but am unsure if this is actually going to increase our chances of getting pregnant or if this is just being done because i happened to mention it to the doctor... TIA

I was also told that I had one partially blocked tube, but that the dye had managed to get through it. Prior to this, I had like you partial bleeds - well just bits of old blood in between periods, and an irregular cycle. I was not recommended to have a D&C, but I did get pregnant shortly after having the laparoscopy etc. I pretty much got pregnant the month after the consultant gave us the all clear, so I think by that point stress was also a factor.
I hope it all goes well for you, as it did for me - I now have two boys (age 7 and 6) 13 months apart, as we took advantage of the fertile period after you have a baby.

Prof Winstone says that you need to be at it like rabbits! Forget about ovulation etc, etc. Every other day throughout the month so that there are always healthy sperm around whenever an egg is released because it only survives for 24 hrs whereas the sperm is healthy for 2-3 days. The eggs can come at any time not just at the usual 'ovulation' time (approx. 12-14 days after start of period). Good luck!
Had my dye done in January aswell but still nothing!!!!!!!!! am getting so depressed! He has had tests done and all were fine untill the last one which was on the low side of normal but we are hoping this was down to a really bad flu he had about a month ago... We have been at it like rabits as beanebabe suggested... every other day for 2 years( it is becoming such a chore ha ha ha!!) I think we are doing everything we can but was just wondering if this D&C was maybe going to make it more likely for an egg to implant? XXX
What else are you doing to find the cause? Infertility can be on either the man or the woman and in some cases it could be both.
