@lucky0115, I moved your question about biopsy to this related discussion:

How did the biopsy go? What do you wish you had known and would advise someone else who may be nervous about going in for an endometrial biopsy?

Thanks! The biopsy went better than I thought! I took 2 extra strength Advil and an Ativan about an hour before and I also had a paracervical block. First, the gyn removed my iud, then did the biopsy. It was 10 seconds of being pretty uncomfortable, but tolerable! Now the waiting game starts! My ultrasound results showed some focal thickening of the endometrium approx. 1.5 x1.5cm with vascularity. They mention polyp, hyperplasia, or carcinoma? And one of my ovaries had a volume of 24 ml and showed an area measuring approx. 4x3cmwith no vascularity. They say it could be a possible endometrioma or cyst. The radiologist recommended another scan in a month and possible hysteroscope. Of course I am very nervous waiting for the biopsy results!
