I had two d&c can that cause anovulatory cycles?

No: A D&C will not prevent ovulation. It could possibly cause scarring inside the uterus that could affect the bleeding, but still would not affect ovulation or the timing of the cycle.

No: D&c or dilatation and curettage will not cause anovulatory cycles.
