A D&C (dilation and curettage) can be performed at various stages of pregnancy, but is more commonly recommended later in the first trimester, specifically after 10-12 weeks.
According to the reference provided:
- A D&C may be recommended for women who miscarry later than 10-12 weeks.
Therefore, while a D&C can be performed earlier in pregnancy for other reasons, it is frequently considered as an option for managing miscarriage or other uterine issues after approximately 10 to 12 weeks of pregnancy. The specific timing will depend on individual circumstances and the recommendation of the healthcare provider.
