Endometrial biopsy--I'm SCARED

I just found out that at my next appointment my doctor is considering an endometrial biopsy. I looked this up on the web and now I am terrified of going to my appointment. I am a virgin and I've never even had a pelvic exam. I know everyone says just relax, but if they want to do this I'm pretty sure I won't be able to.

Are there painkillers they can give me so I won't feel anything? Otherwise I just don't think I will have the courage!

I'm very very scared :(

I had a biopsy on my cervix once and I was TERRIFIED. however, they gave me a prescription for some meds that almost completely knocked me out, no pain or tension or anything....You may want to call your doctor before you go in, and request something of that nature, just make sure you have someone who will drive you to and from the appointment!

Thank you so much for that reassurance! I can calm down now :)
