I’ll be getting mine done on Feb.24th and am so nervous! I’m 45, have had a Mirena IUD in for 3 years. My periods have started being irregular for the past 6 months or so (lasting 8-9 days) and this past month, it lasted for two weeks! My gyn will be freezing my cervix first, so I am really hoping that takes some of the pain away

I've had lots of endometrial biopsies in the past and my recommendation is to take up to 4 Advil at least an hour ahead and ask for a heating or warming pad to place on your abdomen during the procedure. It really helped me during the last one. Definitely not a fun procedure but it is pretty quick and only really hurts while they're in there. It's important to get it done. My last one showed endometrial adenocarcinoma and I had a full hysterectomy 5 weeks ago. Don't delay any investigation of unusual symptoms! Best wishes and hugs to you
