Endometrial Biopsy And Infertility: What You Should KnowWhat Is An Endometrial Biopsy And How Is It Performed? An endometrial biopsy is performed by inserting a catheter through the woman's cervix and into the uterus where the doctor will collect a sample of the uterine lining. The doctor will be testing to see if the uterine lining responds normally to progesterone, which is why endometrial biopsy and infertility go hand in hand. An endometrial biopsy can also be performed to test abnormal uterine bleeding, which can also be caused by a hormone imbalance. If you have been deemed infertile and an endometrial biopsy is scheduled, make sure that you take ibuprofen before the procedure to alleviate some of the discomfort. Just remember that an endometrial biopsy is sometimes necessary to determine the cause of the infertility and in some cases the infertility can be reversed. If the infertility is caused by a hormone imbalance, the endometrial biopsy will be able to detect that and the doctor will usually prescribe progesterone to relieve it. By having the simple endometrial biopsy for infertility performed, you could be well on your way to having that first coveted child. However, it should be noted that not all women who are infertile and have an endometrial biopsy performed eventually have children. Infertility can be caused by a number of things and you should not get your hopes up too high. An endometrial biopsy for infertility can be a very useful tool but it is not a fix all. There is a silver lining, however, as if you are infertile, and the endometrial biopsy determined that there's nothing that can be done for you, just remember that you can always adopt. By adopting a child who doesn't have the benefit of knowing their birth parents, you will bring joy to that child's life and you will also fulfill that need of having a child. Even if you didn't give birth to that child, just the unconditional love of that child will likely heal that emotional wound you endured the moment the doctor told you that you were infertile. |
