Sorry to hear your going thru this, I am also. I would say go for a 2nd opinion. As for the tests, a Endometrial biopsy takes a sample from one area of your uterus only, that is why my doctor gave me a D&C to check all of the lining. It also helped with the bleeding but only for about 5 months. I did a bunch of research on the Novasure procedure and found only a handfull of satisified women with the results. Also, one of the biggest disadvantages I see is that bleeding after Menopause can be a sign of uterine cancer. If women have their lining removed, how will they catch the early signs of cancer??? Have you been cycled on Provera yet?
