WHen I had my endometrial biopsy, I was on drugs too.
All I remember was that I was sleeping for most of the
day and that night (about 2 am.), I woke up with
horrible nightmares! I remember waking up screaming
but no sound was coming out. I think I had taken two
pills for the biospy-one to relax me and one to numb
me. IT was quite scary when having those dreams.
