Has anyone ever had a endometrial biopsy? Did it hurt? My doctor wants me to take 600mg one hour prior to the procedure... Shouldn't 2 motrin be enough. I'm concerned with taking 3 tablets at once..

I was reading some of the risks....

Pelvic infection
Heavy bleeding
Puncturing the cervix/uterus..

We are trying to have a baby and it's taking longer...4yrs of trying..

:sadeyes

I've never had one, but I'm assuming (correct me if I'm wrong) that the risks are small....with a procedure like that, I think it's normal that you're going to have some kind of bleeding...after all, they're removing something.
It's the doctor's responsibility to tell you the risks though, no matter how small. If he's told you to take the pills, then take the pills...two motrin may not be enough for this kind of procedure.
Be strong and hang in there!

i HAD ONE..i've also had my tubes flushed..we're at 5 years of trying. They say after you have this done that your suppose to be extra fertile for 6 months..didnt work for me..but good luck!

It wasnt too painful. Just take the motrin. I didnt have any side effects:thumbsup

I've never had one but Don't worry about the 600mg of motrin... I've been prescibed 800mg before.

I use the 800 mg for my cramps.... :teehee

I know nothing about the biopsy stuff, so I hope that goes well for you. As far as the many mg of motrin, I do know that in sports, it is pretty common for women to be prescribed 800mg. Just don't do it on a completely empty stomach and drink lots of water. Good luck!

I had one. It hurt a little but it's over with very quick and the cramps only lasted a couple hours. I took either 600 or 800mg and did fine with that. Good luck!

G'luck! I have never had one but I have taken 800mg of motrin before.

Don't give up hope (L) It took me 9.5 years to get my son here but he is here :lovestruck

Why do you need a biopsy like that? Not to pry, but Im just curious as to what its for in general?

I had a Histosalpingogram done...but not a biopsy. I hope it goes well for you!!! :) :hug

I have no idea sorry!! I Hope it all goes well for you! But as for the 600 mg- i havn't used motrin but i did use 2800 mg of some other pain killer when my neck wasn't alligned.

:thumbsup I survived :lmao ouch at first, tiny cramping and I was off the table.. Thanks for the support and advice..The 600 mg I took earlier is just now kicking in...getting very sleepy..Talk to you tomorrow.. :mrgreen

glad to hear it went ok hun!

I have to have one of those done soon also :oogle i have to call to make that appt on the very first day of my next cycle..when my cycle starts i have to take a antibiotic before during and after the xray..some people can get an infection from the procedure so thats in case im one of them.. can you tell me what I might expect or what you went through...she told me what will happen but its nice to share with someone else..

I had a biopsy done. It feels like a pinch at first and some cramping for about an hour afterward. It wasnt bad. I had cryotherapy on my cervix because they found something on the biopsy ...now thats another story...
