Endometrial biopsy?

Has anyone ever had an endometrial biopsy? And if so why? Does it hurt? My RE wants me to do this before doing ivf (if we decide that) we have one child from our 2nd iui about 3 years ago.. We don't know why it's not working this time around. We have tried about 5 iuis and nothing. So we are thinking about ivf.. Would it matter if we went straight to ivf without the endometrial biopsy? Just don't get what that's going to tell me. Thanks!

    If your tubes are blocked because if endo then an IVF round would be pretty pointless.

    I have never had this done, but I believe this procedure is to rule out a luteal phase defect, and maybe endometriosis?

    I think you mean IUI would pointless, because the egg can't actually get through the tubes. IVF they actually go in with a needle and suck those bad boys right out. You can do IVF without any tubes at all :P

    Yep, I totally meant IUI and if I don't get a bag of mini peppermint patties I'm going to go cray cray! Sorry, my mine is distracted!
