The endometrial biopsy update....
So, I had my biopsy today (about 13 hours ago). I took 900 mg ibuprofen about an hour before and they used localized anesthesia on the cervix. (I had no idea they could use anesthesia on the cervix.) The procedure took about 15 minutes, it was painful but not the worst pain in the world, and now I just have cramps and some nausea. They claim I should feel tip top by Wednesday afternoon, and I have an appointment to get the results next Friday, July 13.
I'm quite nervous about the results, but Dr. Minassian said it's unlikely that there's anything seriously wrong. It's really kind of crazy that regardless of the fact that I know that there's only a very small chance that I have something seriously wrong, the word biopsy immediately made me think that I might have uterine cancer and I can't shake the feeling, especially knowing that pcos, obesity, endometriosis, and family history are risk factors for it and I have all of those.
Anyway, I'm rambling. I just wanted to give an update for all of you that have been so supportive. Thanks! |
