    Well, D&C is scraping the lining of the uterus, the other is just taking a piece sample of the uterus lining, which can be done at the same time.

    Hi Carol, it's good that they can do both at the same time.

    When are you booked in for the procedure? Hope all goes well, I'll be thinking of you.

      Is the cervix and uterus connected in anyway?

      To get to the Uterus you need to go through the cervix which is the opening to the uterus. Google it and see a diagram of it.
