Re: Is a biopsy painful?
It's best to do it right after your period while the cervix is still open. If they have to hold it open with the clamp, it hurts like a mother. My first one hurt really bad. My second one was super easy because my cervix was open and prolly cause I took a Percocet! Laughed the whole way through that one. Huge difference.

Re: Is a biopsy painful?
If you're prepared, it's alot better. You can take something to help with the pain beforehand. I took my advil about 1 hour before. It made a difference. The first time it was sprung on me last minute. I was given 2 shots to numb my cervix, but it wasn't enough. Second experience with expectations already discussed made all the difference in the world.

Re: Is a biopsy painful?
all 3 times it hurt me, not unbearable pain. It was the cramping and pain after that was worse. I didn't know I was having the first one, so it was very traumatic and I sat in my car and cried half an hour. Second and third time I had someone drive me and I was glad. I was so sore after I know I could not work, but I'm a teacher with a rather physically demanding job.

Re: Is a biopsy painful?
Thanks for all the input ladies! I called my doctor yesterday and she prescribed something to soften and open my cervix, and she recommended that I take Advil 30 minutes before hand. I'm thinking it should be pretty smooth sailing now!

Re: Is a biopsy painful?
I had one today. I was so scared and even had an anxiety dream last night but it was fine. Like others, I felt a big pinch and then some pretty heavy cramping but the pain was over fairly quickly. I even went back to work after. Take the motrin before the procedure. That will help with the cramping and you will be fine.
