endo biopsy... UPDATED

NYGiants2010

I am currently enrolled in a natural IVF study and part of the study includes a endometrial biopsy. Its tomorrow and I am very nervous. I made the mistake of googling and everyone says it very painful. Ughhhh.... : (
Can anyone tell me their experience?

Update: I'm home from my biopsy. It wasn't horrible just a quick cramp. The Dr. Who did it was great and definitely helped me relax.
Thanks everyone!

I have had three and I won't lie, mine were painful. But the good news is it only last less than a minute so it is bearable. Everyone is different though so hopefully yours will not hurt. Be sure to take some ibuprofen beforehand. It helps with the cramping. Good luck.

Thanks! I will definitely be taking meds prior.

I had 2 done- one by my RE in his office and one at Basking Ridge for the study- 

My RE gave me no warning and just did it right after a saline sonogram and it hurt and I wasn't expecting it.. For the one for the study I made sure to take something before going in and knew it was coming so I was able to hold my breathe, grab onto the table and clench my teeth and bare it for the 45 seconds for so it lasts..

Did you do the natural IVF study? It will be at the Basking Ridge office also.

Yup. I did the study. Details are in my siggy. Good luck and I hope you get a great phone call tomorrow! To be honest I was more worried about whether we had a blast or not that I didn't worry about the biopsy at all.

I've had 2. The first was terrible, but I'm pretty sure the resident who did it didn't know wtf they were doing and it took a long time.

I just had my 2nd one last month and it really wasn't too bad. My RE did it and he is very skilled. It was really quick and not nearly as bad as the 1st.

Definitely take something beforehand. Best of luck. I hope yours goes as well as my 2nd!!
