Endometrial biopsy 9mm w/scant tissue sample no atypical cells but dr. wants 2nd biopsy. wasn't enough tissue to make definite diagnosis? concerning?

Do not worry: Please follow your doctor's advice and get a second biopsy. There was not enough tissue in the first one for making a diagnosis. Excluding disease by having a second biopsy will provide peace of mind.
