Hello and thank you for your post,

I am sorry to learn that you need to have a repeat biopsy done; this must be frustrating.

Not being involved in your care, we cannot say why you didn't have a hysteroscopy to begin with. Whether the doctor felt they would be able to get a sample of tissue without the need for this.

Having an insufficient sample means that there isn't enough tissue for the pathologist to make a definite diagnosis. There may be a number of reasons, such as the womb lining may have been too thin, or there may have been difficulty in passing the instrument used through the cervix due to narrowing.

The best person to speak with about what happened would be the doctor who did the biopsy as they know your situation. I don't know if this is possible, if you know the name of the doctor.

I hope this reply helps in some way and you can get some answers soon. Please get back to us if you need any further information, if you would like to speak with one of the nurses on the helpline, you would be welcome to give us a call. We are available 9-5 Monday to Friday Freephone 0808 800 4040.
