ready4number1 & xanzaba,
I had a quick question, I had an ultrasound 2 weeks ago, and the lady who did the US said all was fine. I was wondering if such things as polyps/fibroids , can they ever be missed during an ultrasound ? If there is any such problems they definitely should be seen on an ultrasound isn't it ? What do you guys think ? and how did they figure out that your polyp existed ? was that due to an US or something else ? Sorry about too many questions, I'm possibly analysing too much !
On a normal ultrasound they usually can tell if there is something. With a normal ultrasound was told I had a fibroid or a polyp, but it was small and not to worry about considering my age and having no symptoms.
Can I ask why you are asking about missing things? Are there things going on that could be caused by a fibroid/polyp? Then they would follow up if they saw anything.
If you are wondering about fertility, a fertility specialist is a good idea. I went to get a fertility check up (everything from estrogen and thyroid to ultrasounds where they put saline or dye in the uterus). It was during a sonohysterogram that they saw a small group of polyps (1 ~1 cm, and 2 or 3 tiny ones).
If you can, I highly recommend going to see a fertility specialist if you think there's something that they did not see as problematic for your own health. For instance, the only things that came back were polyps and a sluggish thyroid. Both were considered innocuous for my own health, but are possible fertility issues and will be treated now. The way the doctor explained, with an area of polyps ~2 cm altogether that cannot support implantation and considering everything else came back ok, this is likely the culprit.
