Endometrial Biopsy

The endometrial biposy is performed to determine if the lining of your uterus is sufficiently developed and can support pre-embryonic implantation. This procedure is performed by a thin flexible catheter is entered into the uterus, and a small piece of tissue is removed.

There will be heavy cramping, since the catheter is a foreign entity of sorts, entering into your body, so you will feel cramping during this procedure. It takes a minute, maybe less to perform, and you will be given over the counter Advil or maybe prescription pain killer for the cramps. After this procedure, the tissue sample is sent to the lab for results to determine whether your uterus is sufficiently developed.
