internal ultrasound (tmi)

[Carolina]

hey guys congrats for your bfps! I had an internal ultrasound yesterday (i might be pregnant not sure yet). Anyway it was in the morning and last night i felt quite weird/uncomforatble down there. I feel swollen (tmi) like one of my outer lips is sticking out and is bigger. I feel like my insides are sticking outside something like that.

i was just wondering if any of you had experienced that after an internal scan or in early pregnany...it feels weird (sorry again tmi!)

is that a "probe"?
if it is by christ ive had one

 

[Carolina]

yeah its a probe, they put a codom on it the shoved it in and moved it around to look at my uterus and ovaries.

I had one of those probe scans yesterday. Not nice. Not painful, but uncomfortable, and a bit embarrassing. No pain afterwards, just cold and felt like I'd peed meself !!!! Oh The Joy Of Being A Woman lol

 

[PitBullMommy]

Oh, I've had a LOT of them. It's like being violated, isn't it? I always felt squidgy afterwards, like I was bruised and beat up! It goes away! Good Luck on the BFP!

 

[Carolina]

thanks! yeah it is like being violated! Its the first time ive had a male doctor down there before which made me feel more uncomfortable!

I have done that ALWAYS. I have done it on my first pregnancy and at 6weeks u can hear the heartbeat and see the little one so clearly.

It's so uncomfortable and I HATE IT! I never felt uncomfortable after it.

I hope u r preggo Carol!

 

[Carolina]

i hope so too! the doctor said it would be too early to tell if i was pregnant from the ultrasound yesterdy but thats what i expected! I am trying to stay positive and as my cycles have ranged from 21-33 days the last 2 being 24 then 21 im on day 25 now so at least if no bfp my cycles are finelly getting back to normal after 6 months!

ive had 4 but never had any problems afterwards...

 

[Wobbles]

They have always made me me feel VERY uncomfortable down below! Nasty!

 

[Carolina]

phew! im glad im not the only one i thought maybe i was being a wimp. The doctor pointed out my ovaries and womb on the monitor and i nearly cried! Ive been a mixed bag of emotions the last day or two and i looked at the screen and thought there might be a baby in there or that will be my future babies home. Then i was thinking about being at a 12 week scan with OH and how i know i would cry!

Eeeuw no I don't like them. They're awfully uncomfortable. I don't have any problems afterwards except maybe that everything feels abit.... errr slippery (tmi)

I've had about 4 and no problem with them. It's not nearly as uncomfy as a smear test. Really, if there are girls out there going for one don't fear - you've got the pic of your blob on teh screan to take your mind off things!
My doc was a man but it never bothered me. I'm sure he's seens a fair few bits before.
I never had any uncomfort after.

 

[Carolina]

yeah if i was preg i would def have one because it was amazing seeing your insides on the monitor! yeah smears are worse! i think it was uncomfortable because i was further along in my cycle than when i get smears done.
