krp,

I have no idea why you had the first D&C in August nor do I know why you required a second D&C 2 months later. I don't know if your examination is normal nor do I know what the pathology report was from either D&C. I know neither your age nor number of pregnancies you may have had.

I can understand not wanting to bother your doctor or his nurses, but he has all the information we lack here and he would be best to let you know if what you have is normal
