Cramping after transvaginal ultrasound?

krweil

Hey ladies! I had my first appt today and other than measuring a week behind (now 6w5d) everything seemed good:) However, I'm now cramping and wonder if anyone else has experienced the same thing?

Not really on topic, but I wonder if the transvaginal ultrasound they do when you are pregnant is done differently than when you get one for other reasons? I've seen a lot of talk about cramping and spotting afterwards, but when I had one a few months ago to look at a cyst on my ovary I didn't experience anything like that. Other than one moment when she tilted the wand at an angle that did NOT agree with my anatomy and I almost jumped off the table, it was only slightly uncomfortable. I had a regular abdominal one for my first pregnancy scan, though, so I can't compare.

Congrats! I also have cramping after transvaginals while pregnant... I used to get them all the time not pregnant and had no cramping ever (my ovaries/uterus are high and set back and I have pcos this is why I usually get it annually)

Thanks for the responses ladies! Sounds as though it's the norm. And @petrichor14‌ , not sure. This is the first one I've had in all three pregnancies

I had the same yesterday after mine. I think that because everything on the inside is much puffer and fuller it might be just more sensitive.

I had one and no bleeding or cramping after but maybe it was coincidental. I hope it's all stopped now

@charlie+7‌, no spotting (yay!) but still some mild cramping. Glad you didn't have any:)
