Thank you Dr. Marchbein for the response. I was on birth control for awhile before the last preg. and I had to stp taking them do to bleeding for weeks at a time do you think that will have changed? I mean if I take them now will it not have the same effect. Also if I have this biopsy done what are some of the things that it would be use to look for. I do plan on calling my doctor tomorrowto make an appt. but he never really seemed worried about me still bleeding and I would like to have as much info as possible when I go in to see him. Thanks again
