Endometrial biopsy and pregnancy

I am a 28 year old woman with a 6 year old daughter.  I just recently had a consultation before having an Endometrial Biopsy performed due to some abnormal cells spotted.  My doctor asked me if I was or suspected being pregnant, I said no however I do have unprotected sex with my husband who had a vasectomy almost three months ago.  He had not yet been cleared by his doctor but has ejaculated well over 60 times since the proceedure and he pulls out (I know the risk here), he was cleared just a few days ago which was the three month mark.  My question is, since I am not 100% positive I am not pregnant should I still be having this proceedure done?  Also, shouldnt my doctor have advised me to get tested or offered to do a pregnancy test before performing this proceedure?  It just seems wierd (to me at least) that she knows the situation that 1) Im not sure of pregnancy and 2) he hadnt yet been cleared as "sterile" from his urologist yet so that further solidifies I should be tested first, right?  Maybe Im missing something here but it just seems, based on what I have read, that my doctor should not be moving forward to test me if Im not sure of pregnancy.  Thanks for any replies.

My gyn takes a urine sample every time I walk in her office to be sure of pregnancy status before she does anything. On the day of my biopsy, she was sure to tell me that she confirmed that I was not preggers before she put the tube up into my convection oven. If you pee in a cup every time like I do, that's what they are checking.

From what I know about having a vasectomy, you should have protected sex the first month, or until cleared from the Dr that there is no more sperm being produced.
Yes, you should have a pregnancy test first. Even if it comes back negative you should probably have a blood test just to be completely sure your not pregnant before having this procedure done.
