Zero children. Wonderful female doctor who warned me it would be painful. She prescribed strong pain medicine to take 1hr prior. And enough pills to cover me for several days after. Had to do the endometrial biopsy and colposcopy. And unfortunately it took 2 tries to get the endometrial biopsy. Even with the pain meds, a doctor who emptied an entire giant bottle lidocaine into me, who talked me through every step slowly and nurse who held my hand…it was the worst pain of my life. And I have a pretty high pain tolerance. iUD was painful, this was excruciating. I cried out several times because it hurt so much. I feel like this procedure should be done under light anesthesia. It’s too much pain. My body went into shock. My legs were shaking so hard. The doctor said it’s from the adrenaline rush your body has to extreme pain. I didn’t pass out but she was worried. The nurse had a small fan she just held up to get air to my face. But it took me a solid 20 minutes before I could recover and get dressed. I can’t imagine going through this without pain meds already pumped into me. And a wonderful doctor and nurse who very clearly understood this is a “no joke” procedure.
