Thickened uterine lining

Hi, just came back from having a vaginal u/s which showed my uterine lining is .9cm, and being I just finished a period, it should've been thinner. The doctor said she wants to do a biopsy. After googling (yes, I googled!) I see it can also be due to having no progesterone and estrogen dominant. I know I've been estrogen dominant for a long time. So I'm trying to decide whether I should do the biopsy for peace of mind, or just forget it. I've had so many tests, I just feel worn out. But then I think, what if it is something? Good thing is I've been tested to the moon and back, I would think if it's some late stage cancer it would've showed up somewhere. The tech couldn't even find my left ovary, guess it has shrunk. Gosh, it just seems like there is always something to worry about. 

I know I've seen some of you talking about having the biopsy, can you tell me what happened, what I can expect (painful, down time?), and what your results were???

Thank you!

    I think it's just a by the book thing. Instructions are if the lining is more than 3, biopsy us done. Get it behind you and then you will have a wonderful summer.
