My awful U/S morning

[DjF]

This morning i had an ultrasound - part of the investigations into pcos. It started off ok - the lady doing it was lovely and i felt quite comfortable with her doing it. It took quite a while and she eventually told me despite prodding and poking that she couldnt find my left ovary!:eek: and had another lady come in and take a further look with her - pronouncing something was wrong with my uterus and it must be hiding my ovary - she was a little alarming. So i was told i had to have an internal ultrasound. Fine with me - all i wanted to do was pee!:D

So after using the bathroom i had to have the internal. It was the most painfull experience of my life nothinh like the pain of broken limbs - i felt like she was using something the size of an elephants foot! It took her a further 30 minutes and she could tell it was painful so again had to get a second opinion and asked the other lady back in. By now im in agony and just wanted it over. In the end the original lady who i still think was lovely and doing a fine job told me they still couldnt find my left ovary but were concerned with my right fallopian tube.
So - i will find out the results next week, im not expecting them to be fab but im trying to stay relaxed till then. The internal did leave me feeling very faint for hours, great for being at work!
Im actually glad she didnt keep me in the dark and explained what she was doing - also going as far as to say she couldnt actually see any cysts on my right ovary but would have to wait to get blood results as they were more accurate!

Oh my fingers are crossed for good results when the you get the results.
:fingerscrossed:

That dosn't sound like a very nice experience with your u/s!

Aw DjF, That sounds horrible! I hope the results turn out better than what you expect! :hugs: :hugs:

[Livy]

Aww you poor thing - doesn't sound fun at all! I hope your results are all good ;)

[nicoleE]

you poor thing!

I can tell you that I was having an ultrasound for PCOS and they couldnt see properly and like you was relieved when they said they have to do an internal, the pain from needing to pee was huge!

After peeing unlike you the internal went really smoothly though and it didnt feel unconfortable at all (infact i found it easier than a pap smear, they sometimes hurt me). Im not sure but I didnt think they were supposed to hurt? Perhaps because they were having troubles seeing certain parts they were really pushing the internal probe around allot and that is what was hurting you..

:hugs: hope everything is ok.

[angcaltam]

You poor thing. I've had an internal u/s so I understand what you are saying about that.

I really hope your results come back good. I will keep my :fingerscrossed: for you.

Please keep us informed.

Oh I hope everything turns our ok... I have had an internal U/S before and they are not very nice hey. :hugs:

[cmd'smum]

Hun :hugs: those internal U/Ss arn't nice at all :no:

I hope you DO get fab results :fingerscrossed:

Let us know how everything turns out :hugs:

Ohh - I'm sorry to hear you had such a bad experience with the internal u's. I know about those things way too well. Each time I had those two ectopic pregnancies I had an internal ultrasound - the second time round I had internals done every third day while they were trying to find my baby. I HATED it...

Sometimes (speaking from too much experience) they will let you hold it yourself and kind of direct where they want it to go. If ever you have to go through it again, then offer for you to hold it and allow them to direct it.

DJF, I'm so sorry to hear that you had such a bad experience. It is all scarey enough without it being painful. I hope your results are much better. :fingerscrossed: for you hun.

[sugar n spice]

I have had a few internals before when preg there uncomfortable but never painful sorry it wasnt a nice experience

[wantagirl]

I have had internals with both mine and it never hurt either, so sorry about your day! Have faith and all will work out.:yes:

[DjF]

Hi everyone. Thanks for your replies. I find out next week all the results so i will keep you all posted.:)

[3 bambinos]
