Specializes in Fertility Medicine

Scar Tissue: It is possible you have some scar tissue in your uterus after the procedure. That is what worries me about lighter period after a d&c. I would see an obgyn and begin an evaluation to see. Scarring can definitively affect your ability to become pregnant.
