Thank you for your message. Just so that you know, I went to see the
doctor yesterday, (unfortunately another one because the doctor that was
I was working with left) and she put me on Aygestin to help stop the
bleeding. Next week, she is going to do a Sonohsterogram and a
Edometrial biopsy. Can you please tell me what this is exactly? All I
know from her is that they are going to check and make sure there is no
fibrois or tumors or other "funny business" going on. She also said
that this test can be painful like cramping. I asked her if she could
"knock me out" while she did the test. They don't this. She says that
I should not have a problem with my fertility. But I must say, I am
scared.
