Not easier: Endometrial biopsy is a screening test during which a sample of cells is removed from the lining of the uterus. An endometrial biopsy can be done during your menstrual cycle, but it's better to have it done when you are not on your period. I wish you well with your health!

Agree with Dr. M: Doing endometrial biopsy while you are menstruating would not be useful.
