I had basically no symptoms (of what did turn out to be endometrial cancer) other than very minimal postmenopausal bleeding. When I was in perimenopause, about 3 years earlier, I had crazy bleeding with multi-month gaps in between, which at the time I assumed was just how perimenopause was. But maybe it was a sign of problems.

Waiting for tests and results is miserable and anxiety provoking, but unfortunately there isn't much you can do but let the testing play out and see what the doctors say. There are probably several conditions that can cause symptoms like that. Try to think about other things instead of worrying. Good luck with the biopsy.

@misty51 When I get anxious about an upcoming procedure I tell myself that having the test or screening is far better than doing nothing. I’ve had so much experience with anticipatory anxiety that I can also reassure myself that the anxiety before a procedure is much worse than the actual test or procedure.

I didn’t have an endometrial biopsy when I developed spotting. I was post menopausal. My gynecologist first ordered an ultrasound and then we went straight to a D&C. I’ve talked with people who experienced pain with an endometrial biopsy and some who did not. There are lots of good suggestions here on how to prepare yourself. And ask the doctor or nurse for suggestions too.

When is the endometrial biopsy scheduled?
