@suesam I am tagging a few of our members who have had endometrial biopsies.
@gynosaur42 @bethmcbab @idaho1960 I am hopeful that they can fill you in on their experiences.

Thank you for your reply. It's good to know that the CT and ultrasound did not show anything other than some thickness in the endometrium. It's also great that your gynecologist is following up and then on (or after) January 20 you will have more information.

Did the visit to the ER result in a diagnosis for the abdominal pain?

Hi Helen,

It's actually my family doctor, not the gynecologist, who is doing the biopsy. He offered to send me to one, but said he could do it. A friend of mine thought he was cruel to mention it would be painful but I didn't feel that at all. He was preparing me by asking me to take the vagifem tablets for a month and advil before I come in, to help me. My friend kept going on and on about how cruel my doctor was to say that, but he's always been kind and gentle with me and I just thought he was stating a reality and trying to help me. The ER was very thorough with blood work, urine testing, a CT scan and an ultrasound but couldn't find the source of the pain. There were no masses or anything in my abdomen and pelvis. My family doctor thinks it might be IBS because I've had this pain in the past when I'm stressed. The biopsy is scheduled for 1:00 on Jan. 20th. Thanks for listening.
