@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?
