Infertility

Endometrial Biopsy

Hey can anyone tell me about this and their results?

Re: Endometrial Biopsy

  • I went to have one at the same time I had a sonohystagraphy. However I passed out from the pain. Doctor opted to wait until I had surgery (I had to get one if my fallopian tube removed) I can't give detail on the process, but the sono was not a pleasant experience. Wanted to share. I think the biopsy should go better alone with out the pressure from the sono.

  • Gah!!! @ColeM91 - you have me terrified.... I'm doing both those in January. Although we already decided to put me under for the procedures because of a history of difficult transfers. We're anticipating pain/issues. 

    How was your recovery!!?!?!??

  • @ColeM91 @oxinfree yikes! I'm having the SHG (sonohystogram) and biopsy at same time at the end of this week! I've had an SHG before and don't remember too much pain..but are bodies are all different. But I'll report back to let you know how it goes!
  • Oh no I'm so sorry I don't mean to scare you. I had the one with the dye done years ago and didn't take the recommended Tylenol and almost passed out. So much pressure & pain. However both tubes were clogged. Fast forward to this summer I had the sono done. By God's grace I had a clear tube and one blocked tube. I do believe that is why I got the pain and pressure. The fluid has no where to spill out, creating cramping & pressure. Women that I spoke to said they never experienced what I did. I think it's from the blocked fallopian tube. I believe your experience should be quite different. Best of luck.
  • Sorry I didn't explain why I had a bad experience.
  • Please do @purepositivity !!! 

    Don't be sorry @ColeM91 haha. It was your experience, and its good for us to know that's a possibility, but thanks for clarifying.

  • @oxinfree I had the SHG and biopsy today at 10. I took my 2 antibiotics yesterday and one this morning at 9. I also took 2 Advil around 8:45. I think I was done in 20 minutes or less. The SHG was slightly crampy but biopsy was definitely a bad cramp for 30 seconds and then another one for another 30 seconds but then it was over. I have to continue my antibiotics tomorrow (2x a day) and then done. It will take a week to hear results from biopsy. But SHG looked ok. I'm nervous about endometriosis as a possibility.
  • @purepositivity Oh good. I'm glad it went well. T&Ps on a good outcome.
  • @purepositivity - well at least its over and done with I guess right!? Sorry it was crampy. Definitely not looking forward to mine. I too am worried about endo... fingers crossed for both of us!!! Glad the SHG looked good though... thats a positive right!? Keep me posted on results.
