Endometrial biopsy

[dum]

I'm going to have endometrial biopsy because of irregular spotting. The doc said it'll be uncomfortable because I've never given birth. Anyone in my situation and had endometrial biopsy? Was it unbearably painful like the WORST period cramp?  I'm advised to take 4x200mg motrin. Thanks

I have to say, take the meds - mine really hurt.  I did it while I was in the office so I wouldn't have to come back and she never said anything about any discomfort.  I was on the ceiling and yelling - they must have wondered what the heck was going on in the waiting room.  She told me that most people don't react that way.  I did cramp for about 2 days after, but nothing unbearable then.

I had an endometrial biopsy before work one day - I think, as an afterthought and extra precaution to my doc. I have never had children, but started having contractions as he was doing the biopsy.  He had a name for them (something akin to labor contractions). Anyway, I had taken no pre medication. My blood pressure dropped and I almost passed out, although I was deep breathing. They had to give me juice and let me hang around awhile after. It was a pretty short procedure, though, and I went to work in only mild discomfort.

Wow, sounds like the experiences are really of all kinds!  Probably it depends a lot on the skill of the doc?  I'm a little worried about the aftermath.  I'll have meetings and other things the same day and the following day, whole day, I really hope the pain/discomfort won't bother me.  Will there be spotting afterwards?

My doc was good, I think, but I still had the contractions while in the office. He said there might be spotting, but I had none. I went to work afterwards, than to a funeral, then to a after funeral reception, then went and worked out. I was in mild discomfort, but it didn't hinder anything at all......

Hi cip, thank you so much. Another thing just occurred to me: I have endometriosis, I wonder if the biopsy procedure could bring the endometriosis tissues somewhere where they are not supposed to be, thus worsen the condition. Ok I understand it will be within the cervix...  just a little curious ;) Also, will that area where the biopsy is done--will that area of the uterine wall be thinner thank elsewhere ever after? Could that affect future pregnancy?  Sorry if I appear to be over worried...

It makes sense to wonder and worry about procedures that are new to us! My understanding is that they only take a very ,very small sample to biopsy. It shoud not effect any future procedure or a pregnancy.....
