What is the process of an endometrial biopsy and how does it feel?

Like a pap smear: First a speculum is placed just like for a pap smear. Then the cervix is cleansed with betadine. Next an instrument is placed on the cervix that may cause a menstrual like cramp. Then you may feel some tugging on the cervix while a small catheter is placed inside the cavity of the uterus. This feels like another stronger and sharper menstrual cramp but lasts less than 15 seconds.

Like IUD insertion: The process of in office endometrial biopsy is similar to IUD insertion. There will be some slight cramping as the endometrial sample is aspirated from inside the uterus with a flexible device.
