Claire,
I am sorry that you are having the pain and problems, it sure isn't fun.
I personally have never had a D&C, but I might suggest that you talk to
your doc about this. Maybe he/she can help you with your concerns and
put your heart to rest. It is scarey not knowing and I am sorry that I
am not of much assistance, but I am thinking of you and wishing you the
best. Take care!
Hugs~
