Endometrial Biopsy

Reasons you may not be able to have the endometrial biopsy or why the results may not be helpful include:

• If you are pregnant. An endometrial biopsy is not done during pregnancy.
• If a vaginal or cervical infection is present. The infection could spread to the uterus if an endometrial biopsy is done.
• If the endometrial biopsy sample is not large enough to see abnormal cells. Another test may be needed.
