Sorry : Sorry to answer with a question but i need more information. Are you having menorrhagia (heavy periods)? What was the purpose of the d&c's? To control bleeding? For treatment of a miscarriage? Have you tried any medical therapy of menorrhagia? Some women benefit tremendously from placement of a Mirena (levonorgestrel) iud.
