First, we'll do a rapid culdocentesis, which is to confirm if you have any blood in the space behind your uterus.

Methods that can ensure adequate cultures are laparoscopy, culdocentesis, or obtaining quantitative endometrial cultures employing a telescoping catheter.

After that was confirmed by a positive pregnancy test, I did a culdocentesis -inserting a needle into the cul-de-sac behind the cervix to draw 10 cc of blood.
