Hi Nadine, I had a lap, hysteroscopy and a D&C back in 99. I had to lap done for endo and the D&C because the lining of my uterus was a bit thicker than normal, so it was done to give it a good clean out I suppose - maybe this is why you are having one too? I think it depends on the situation if they would do it or not - you say that they think you have a mucous blockage, so the D&C may be to make sure they clean everything out? Both procedures are really straight forward and done quite a lot, so your Dr would be experienced in doing them. You will be sore for a while afterwards - it took me a good few weeks to feel normal again and others are fine in a few days, it really depends on the person.
