-Hi , I had this done in April, there was a few seconds of pain and I

was warned that I might have some cramping afterwards but I didn't.

Mine was a cocoscopy(spelling) and biopsy so she could view my

endometrial stripe. I read about the test at webmed.com so I knew

what was going to happen.

Wait a second. A colposcopy and a endometrial biopsy is NOT the same

thing. A colposcopy is when they take a biopsy from the cervix (I

have one done every 6 months b/my Pap's are always abnormal) I expect

it everytime I go to my gyn's office.

An endometrial biopsy is when a sample is taken from the uterus. I

know there are many discussion threads regarding endometrial biopsy's

in this group. Try doing a search for some of the past posts.

Hi! I had the endo biopsy after my 1st gushing/hemoraging

experience during a period. they need to check the lining, and rule

out cancer. It's a bit more involved than a pap smear. (longer) A

bit more uncomfortable, but necessasary. I was fine, it was pretty

quick.

Hi,

I would just like to add the suggestion that you ask your ob/gyn

about taking advil or motrin prior to your biopsy. Mine recommended

it just before leaving home for the appointment. I felt a very small

cramp and it was over in about 10 seconds.
