I've seen that it can happen after birth or a d&amp;e/d&amp;c. I had a saline ultrasound done to check for scarring and abnormalities, but they never mentioned a biopsy to me until I brought it up since I was worried about a uterine infection. They told me I'm not necessarily the type of patient they would recommend one for, whatever that means, but I plan to ask. </p> <p>It seems pretty controversial since I read a large percentage of women have endometritis and it doesn't necessarily cause problems, but I'm getting desperate. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/endometrial-biopsy-1#post-2793912 Thu, 28 Dec 2017 15:21:51 +0000 PeaceLily 2793912@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@NorthStar: I'm so happy it worked for you, that's great news! I'm a little concerned my RE won't want to do this, but I want to try to find some answers as to why we are struggling this year. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/endometrial-biopsy-1#post-2793893 Thu, 28 Dec 2017 13:09:45 +0000 bhbee 2793893@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I had one when we were struggling for #2. They did an SHG (not an HSG - there’s no dye) to look for abnormalities and did the biopsy as part of that. The biopsy showed some chronic endometritis which i think they’re honestly not sure if it’s normal or not, but they treated with a strong antibiotic. You can’t ttc on that (but the biopsy itself didn’t affect ttc i think) so i believe they let me start bc on cd1 with the anitiobiotic so i wouldn’t lose a whole cycle - stopped both together and essentially started cd1 again. In my case it didn’t make a difference (at least - we still had 6 months to go to success) but it wasn’t a big deal to have it done. Wishing you luck on this hard road :heart: </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/endometrial-biopsy-1#post-2793891 Thu, 28 Dec 2017 12:53:33 +0000 NorthStar 2793891@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Prior to my frozen embryo transfer last year (and really our last decent attempt), I insisted on an endometrial scratch. It was where they took a straw like tool and roughed up the lining, but I also believe that she took a biopsy/sample as well. Yes, it was very uncomfortable and somewhat painful, but it was shortlived. I think they had me take something (like tylenol) prior to help with any discomfort. I can say that it maybe helped as our FET worked and we now have a 10.5 month old boy! I had my scratch in April and we did our FET May 29th. Good luck! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/endometrial-biopsy-1#post-2793889 Thu, 28 Dec 2017 12:39:06 +0000 PeaceLily 2793889@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Does anyone have any experience with an endometrial biopsy? I had a D&amp;E a year ago due to a 19.5 week loss (tx for medical reasons) and have not been able to conceive since then. </p> <p>We are waiting to see if our 3rd IUI worked, but if not I plan to ask for an endometrial biopsy to see if there is any bacteria or inflammation in my uterus that could be preventing implantation.</p> <p>We didn't have fertility issues when we conceived last year, and are now considered unexplained since all our tests are fine. </p> <p>I've read that it's pretty painful, and not sure we could ttc the same month. I'm just at a loss as to why we are having trouble now.</p> <p>Any input/experiences/outcomes would be much appreciated! </p>
