XP: Anyone experience pain during external u/s?

There is something weird that happened during my u/s today.  She did an internal for the whole thing, then at the end for fun, tried to see them from above.  When she put the thingy (?) over my stomach and pressed down, it HURT LIKE HELL.  It was so tender that I asked her to stop.  We couldn't really see much externally anyway, but she was so apologetic and asked if maybe I had a bladder infection?  I had submitted a urine sample, so she ran to see if they had the results: yes, and there was no infection.

What could this be?  I've been having pain in that area since BFP, and lots more when walking, lifting, stairs.  It's right above pubic bone.

    i do remember some of the external u/s being painful, just because they have to push so hard to get some views of the babies. did you talk to your doctor about it (not the u/s tech)?

    Actually at my u/s yesterday I had to make the dr stop b/c it hurt too much. Baby A is really low in my pelvis and I could not handle the pressure to be able to get a good pic of him.

    When I saw my peri for the first time at 10 weeks, he tried externally first and I remembered it hurting. 

    By week 12 (NT scan) I didn't have as much pain.


    After 2 rounds of IVF & 2 rounds of FET, we were blessed with identical twin girls!
