A member asked:

Had a d&c when i was a teenager. i'm an adult and i want children. i have yet to conceive. did the surgery affect my fertility & chances of being pregnant?

Dr. Michael Traub answered

Specializes in Fertility Medicine

Probably Not: Not likely. The only way it could would be if you had an infection at the time or scar tissue developed in the uterus from the d&c. Although both are possible, they are unlikely.
