I personally just had an EMB on Tuesday -- too many people like to scare you. I took 600 mg of Ibuprofen about an hour before the procedure and it was a piece of cake. There was a little bit of pressure -- kind of like what you might feel when you need to have a bowel movement. Of course, not everyone is the same, but I have many of the problems that people say make the procedure more difficult -- never had children and I have a tipped womb. As long as you are comfortable with your doctor, it should be no problem.

Good luck!
