Ovary Ultrasound
I have to get one of these next week and am dreading it. With my having fibromyalgia - the thought of indepth pushing fills me with dread. I do think I am not getting the vaginal thingy cos I asked the hospital - they did say no - and if they do produce this probe the width of a walking stick - that aint going in either. Doctor last week mentioned Ach I done all all your bloods but would like the"ovary blood" tested. Never heard tell of it. Then you keep River Niagara in your stomach for them to press it out again. That's all I can say.

What happens?
You usually have this scan in the imaging department or gynaecological outpatient clinic.
A doctor (radiologist) or sonographer will do your scan. A sonographer is a trained professional who specialises in ultrasound scanning.
When you are in the scan room, they’ll ask you to undress from the waist down. You can wear a hospital gown or they’ll give you a sheet to cover yourself with.
You lie on your back on the scanning couch with your knees bent and legs apart. If this position is difficult for you, you may be able to lie on your side with your knees drawn up to your chest.
The doctor or sonographer puts a protective cover over the slim ultrasound probe and covers it with lubricating gel.
They gently put the probe into the lower part of your vagina. If you’d prefer, you can put the probe in yourself, similar to putting in a tampon. The scan may feel uncomfortable as they move the probe around. But it shouldn’t hurt and isn’t usually painful, so tell the sonographer if this is the case.
The scan takes around 15 minutes.
