Endometrial Biopsy

o Infertility – Throughout a woman’s cycle the lining of the uterus changes under hormonal influence. During the menstrual cycle, the lining begins to grow until a mature egg is release from the ovary. If fertilization by sperm does not take place, the lining is not needed to nourish a pregnancy, and is therefore shed with a menstrual period. An endometrial biopsy helps your physician determine if the lining is going through normal menstrual cycle changes and if it can support a pregnancy.
