 Had my endo biopsy yesterday...
It wasn't fun, but it wasn't too bad either. I took three advil about 40 minutes before the procedure, so that helped. During the procedure it was uncomfortable, made me clinch my fists and teeth a little, but it was over quick. They had to do 3 passes thru the uterus (instead of just one or two) to get enough tissue for the biopsy. So by the 3rd pass I was ready for it to be over. But even with 3 passes, it only took maybe 5 minutes. For about 20 minutes after the procedure I had cramping (like bad menstral cramps), then they began to ease up. About 40 minutes after the procedure I was fine. So, the antisipation and worry were definately worse than the procedure was in reality. One thing they didn't tell me, is that right before the procedure they want a urine sample to run a quick pregnancy test. I had stopped in the restroom before gettting on the elavator to go up to my Dr.'s office...so I had to drink a bottle of water and wait a few minutes before I could give them anything! *lol*
So, now I just have to wait for the results. From what I hear, it takes 7-10 days. So, hopefully by the end of the week or the beginning of next week I'll know if everything is ok.
